Sam Houston State University Top Questions

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

David

I wish I had known how bad the parking situatuon was. There are not enough parking spots for the number of students that are enrolled. The Campus sits on top of a hill, and almost all the parking lots are at the bottom of the hill. There was one parking garage when i attended SHSU, and I wish someone would have told me to get a reserved spot.

Ashley

I wish I had known about how much school work I would actually have, and how hard the papers would be.

Julianna

I wish I had known that you don't have to be like everyone else to make friends. You just have to find someone with some interests because other students are new too, and looking to make new friends just as well.

Morgan

The parking & advising are sub-optimal

How to get involved in clubs and what those clubs where. Some clubs I didn't even know exsisted.

Keith

I wish I would have known that the hills here were going to be a workout for you to walk to your classes everyday so I could have packed for a better set of clothing!

Emily

I wish I had known how easy it is to get involved. Sam Houston has student activities and organizations for just about everyone. All you have to do is go to meetings and try them out. As a whole, the campus is so friendly, so don't be afraid to meet knew people. However, I really wish I knew that Sam Houston is kind of a suitcase college; meaning most students leave on the weekends, so it can get dull when you are unable to go home.

Bradley

I wish I would have known more about life, so that I could have made the most out of the education, resources, and opportunities.

Brittany

I wish I would have known more about off-campus housing
