Saint Louis University Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Giancarlo

How much I was going to use a bike. If I had known I'd be riding EVERYWHERE, I would've gotten something better than a $50 Wal-Mart bike.

Brittney

The load of school work

Meghan

It's a really good idea to become involved with extra curriculars as soon as you come on campus, it helps to meet people and relieve the stress of class. Also, unless you are a Federal Work Study student, it's really hard to find good on campus jobs.

Alexandria

That most of the campus parties are for sororities and fraternities. That the friends that you have in the beginning might change after joining a sorority. I wished someone would have told me to try everything and don't let your so called friends hold you back and make you feel bad about doing other things.

Michael

Wish I knew more about St. Louis the city and the average annual increase in tuition.

Peter

I wish I would have been better prepared for the cost of living in a big city and dealing with the pressures of stricter deadlines.

Kathleen

I wish I had known all the facilities available and had ulilized them when needed.

Noah

I wish I would have know that my family would recieve more financial aid. I wish I would have known what I wanted to do so that I may not have taken pre med courses since I am not really sure if that is what I want to do with my life. Then my GPA would be worlds better. I also wish I would have known if I wanted to be in a Fraternity so I would not have to rush in spring semester and would have had it over with.

Allison

I wish that I had known to get more involved my freshamn year of college. It is so much fun to meet people by joining activities and I just wish that I would have started getting more involved earlier because I have met some truly great people that way.

Sara

Remember that no school is perfect, no matter what they tell you during recruiting.
