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

Its has extreme temperature.

If I had to sum up my beliefs on the Univeristy of Arizona, I would say, "this school is perfect". Before I even came to this school, I knew it would be important to make strong connections with people and to get inovolved within the University because after all, there are 40,000 students that are currently enrolled in this school. Joining a sorority and nursing club while also volunteering at Campus Health has helped me to meet individuals that share similar interests. I could not imagine going anywhere else!

Before attending this university I wish I had known that I needed not only a B.A. degree but, also experiance in my field of study. I idealistically believed that with a B.A. degree i would find a career and be embraced in the professional world.

I wish I would have known more about what it takes to get a degree in a particular area spelled out more clearly.

Gavin

I wish I had known more about what major I wanted to do. I spent about a year exploring my options, and the U of A had facilities which really helped me with this. However, now that I'm in the major I want I'm going to graduate in 5 years instead of 4 since I basicaly started the needed classes a year late.

Martha

College is a lot of hard work. There are times when it is not fun. But with perseverence you can get through your program successfully.

Jessica

Being an art major, I was concerned about what the work load was like as well as what was expected of me in my art classes. Before I started attending the University of Arizona it would have been nice to learn about some of the projects art students were asked to create. I wish I would have known more about what the University offered and provided to the students to help with academics.

Rebecca

Because U of A is so big, it can be hard to navigate some of the logistical aspetcs, like signing up for classes and making sure tuition is paid and whatnot. It would have been nice to have had a little bit better idea about how certain processes were managed (like declaring a major), because I ended up on many a wild goose chase in an attempt to find the correct advisor for this or that.

Alexandria

Before coming to the University of Arizona, I wish I would have known the support system that my university offers! Everywhere I turn there are people trained and ready to push me in the right direction.

Kathryn

I wish I had known what the stereotypical college student was like. I came from a sheltered life and was kind of blown away by the average student.
