Oregon State University Top Questions

I wish I would have known that they didn't have my preferred program of study here!

I wish that I had known more about on campus activities and how to get involved with different organizations on campus . I also wish that I had known about opportunites open to undergraduates in the College of Engineering as they are plentiful and well worth the effort.

I wish I would have known that I did not need to live on campus my first year. The cost of living on campus is outrageous, and I feel that I would have met the same great people that I am friends with today by living in off campus situations such as my own apartment or house. This would have saved me thousands of out-of-pocket expenses that I do not feel was necessary in my success at Orgeon State Universtiy.

I wish I would have seen more online tours before attending this school because I could not afford to fly out to Oregon State University.

How to pay for college.

It’s common for students to feel nervous when entering college. Making new friends is not something to worry about when it comes to Oregon State. The University is full of friendly, outgoing students. Students come from all over the world to gain a education through OSU. Education comes first, but when it comes to making new friends you should not worry. The University proves clubs for sports; from fishing, soccer, baseball, dance; pretty much anything thing you can think of we got it. OSU is a great school, with many smiling faces.

I wish that someone would have told me that college isn't nearly as hard as it's made out to be. For me, college was little more than an extension to high school with slightly longer papers and a little more reading.

I wish that I would have known how fun and exciting it is to be involved in social activites at this school. I spent most of my time deciding what major I was going to have and what classes to take. I didn't spend enough time thinking about if I wanted to live in the dorms or if I wanted to join any clubs. Doing either of these two things would be a great experience.

Graduating from hig school and coming into a big University, the most important thing that I wish I would have known before now wouldhave to be, be you. I came into this college life trying to fit in a go with the flow, try to find a rythm and take advice from others. I wish I would have known that I need to take classes that intreague me, I need to find the best studying style for myself and I need to always be true to my own well being and interests.

I wish that I had known how much money college costs outisde of the shown fees. There are all kinds of things to be purchased on top of regular tuition that are increasingly difficult to afford.
