University of Arizona Top Questions

I got the vibe when I toured the campus so I did know this before I came to this school.

I wish I had known college is not as scary people told me back in high school, it is just the way you make your own experience.

Coming to The University of Arizona i wish i had known the campus a little better. Coming in as a transfer study from a much smaller campus it was quite a change coming to a much bigger university campus.

I wish I had know that I was going to be working long hours outside of school for theatre productions, I wish I had know about the scholarship opportunities before I registered here

I wish I'd been prepared for college more academically. I didn't learn a lot in high school. I wish I had been taught better time management skills before I came here.

I wish I was more prepared for my classes like English. On the first day of class my teacher asked about authors that I have never read before. I was scared I wouldn't make it through my first year. It has gotten a lot better.

Before attending The UA, I wish I had known that the earlier you apply, the better scholarships you get. As a student in the Honors College, I could currently be getting paid by the college had I applied before the December deadline.

I wish I had known that I needed to save more money rather than taking out loans that will put me in debt as soon as I graduate. Also that I it would have been easier if I had moved into the dorms for the first year.

UA does not cram loads of useless knowledge into your brain. Rather, the outstanding professors provide opportunities to learn and extend your education to whatever extent you desire. Finishing a course with an A really is not that difficult, but to have gained something useful and timeless from the course is up to the individual student. Unlike high school, the motivation and desire for success for pupils has shifted from the teachers to the students themselves. You need to be ready to earn your education, not just have it plopped in your lap.

I wish I had had more of an idea what resources were available to me BEFORE I needed them.
