Texas A & M University-Commerce Top Questions

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

LaToya

I wish I had known that this school is basically in the middle of no where. It's a fair enough town, but there's really nothing out here to keep you interested outside of school.

Corey

I wish I would have fully understood how financial aid works. If I had, I might have went to a different school.

Sonya

This school offered everything that I was looking for. I researched many colleges with my main objective being affordability. This college provided a a stable foundation for my education as tuition that I was able to afford.

Louise

I should have listened to my sister, when she told me not to take too many hours in one semester, because it would be too much of a workloa,d and I would not accomplish passing grades.

Borge

As an international student I did not know anything about the Greek world. Going Greek is an amazing opportunity for students to experience a more professional atmosphere. Just the campus involvement that is required will help your network grow faster than you could ever imagine. This can be your path towards an amazing career opportunity. Another thing that is special for Commerce is the friendly environment, both on campus and around town. If you do not know anyone, do not worry. People will make you feel included even if it is your first day around; a really friendly environment.

Shea

No to go to the previous junior college and just go straight there!

Christina

I wish I had known about the weather in Commerce, TX before I came to the school. It gets much colder than I am use to in my hometown of Houston.

Natalie

I wish that I had known better time management before I came to my college. With the pressures of classes every day and work bunching up on itself I know that I need to develop better study and time management habits. Once we get to college there really isnt anyone to tell you when to get up, when to study, when to go to class, or which activities are more important. If I had known how to better manage my time beforeI entered college I think my first semester would have gone much more smoothly.

Crystal

Before I came to this school I wish I had taken the junior college that I went to more seriously and I wish I would have utilized my time more sufficiently. I also wish that i would have went to a better counselor to show me exactly what classes would have been better to take at a junior college rather than wait and take them at a four-year college, this way I might have had more credits transfer.

Micheal

how small the community was, it is best i had no idea though because it could have swayed my decision a little.
