Southern University and A & M College Top Questions

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

Paige

The financial troubles of the school.

Latona

This is my second attempt in finishing my degree. If I had known then what I know now, I would have taken college more seriously. I did not attend classes and study as I should. I came to school and thought it was fun time.

Devon

I already had an idea before I attended.

Yulandria

I wish I known how challengeing SU would be. (Like the time I was in Biology 101, I had to examine religious teaching vs. evolution.)

Jasmine

Before I attended this school, I wish I would have known that they did not have the best business program in the state of louisiana.

Brittany

One of the major things I wish I knew before I came to this school would be the importance of having good grades to keep financial aid. My first year in college didn't go well due to adjusting to a new state and environment. Therefore, my grades suffered causing me to lose my financial aid, and I ended up having to do an appeal. Thankfully, I received my financial aid, and I never had a problem with maintaining my grades after that incident.

I wish I would have known more about financial aid and loans before my college experience. I believe that if i would have known about how much college cost (out of state) even with financial aid, I would have been more responsible with my money in high school. I would have also paid more attention in my classes instead of rushing through everything to recieve a grade.

Candice

There is nothing I wished before I came to this school because I had done my research prior to coming.

Jonathan

how hard it would be to be so far away from home.

Richard

Before I came to Southern University I wish I would have known to sign-up for work study early during the summer.
