Southern Polytechnic State University Top Questions

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

Matthew

Really....nothing. I had a few friends that graduated from Southern Poly, and they were very happy with the education they had recieved. I also knew that I wanted to go to an engineering school.

Jenifer

I wish I had known more about the area surrounding campus. It was somewhat of a culture shock for me when I moved here.

This school is all work. If you come here, dont expcet to play around alot. there are some cool things going on sometime, but make sure you prioritize your time correctly. and if you need to go to an office, go earily. if you wait time will slip by.

Donald

Through my own personal research I had learned quite a bit about the school before attending, but there are some things you can only learn while attending an institution. Something I wish I had known about this particular school was how it's administrative system compares to my previous institution. My previous college was phenominal, and this school is sub par. The focus on the students is drastically less, and seems to me more focused on the business aspect of college. Which, unfortunately, I am afraid may be the case for many larger institutions.

Robert

That it was a solid school.

Joshua

How much professors at this school actually cared. I heard stories of how many professors at universities are not very helpful and leave you to struggle on your own, but in reality they love to help you just have to approach them. If I knew this I would have gotten help a lot sooner.

Lori

I wish I had known that it was going to be hard to get some of my credits to transfer and that some of them wouldn't at all.

Crystal

I wish I were more aware of student research opportunities for undergraduate students. I am currently giving serious thought to continuing my education to the graduate level and pursuing a careet in research.

Kayla

I am happy to say the only thing i wish i had known before attending is what scholarship oppotunities they offered, but the deadlines had passed when i applied. Otherwise as long as you did some research you get a pretty good feel for the place.

Crystal

There's really nothing about the school that I find dissatisfactory. I am very pleased with all aspects of the campus including the beauty, good food, student orientation and activities, campus life, classes, work load, and the staff and their dedication and concern towards my education.
