University of Arizona Top Questions

I wish I had learned to save money for college before I came her. University is way more expensive and community college, and I should of have taken advantage of the money I had when I was in college. I have been under financial aid throughout my education, have received several scholarships, and was earning money as an English tutor. I had enough money to pay for school and had money to spare, but I wasn’t smart enough. I didn’t know how necessary was to save that extra money. Now that I’m away from home I do.

I wish I had a better idea of what major I wanted to do / what career path i wanted to take. I started as a computer science major, without even knowing what computer science was. I then switched to pre-business, with plans to be an accounting major (even though that bored me) because it is something I knew I could probably do. Luckily I found MIS, a very small but incredibly highly-ranked program at my school. Unfortunately by then I had made certain choices that still prevent me from achieving my educational goals.

That I would have to walk a lot, I would have brought a bike.

I wish that I had known at least one other person who came here from my high school. The school is large, and can be overwhelming, but people are friendly the first few weeks of school.

That high school did not prepare me for college.

I wish that I'd known more about discovering what career path I wanted to take and how to find out more information about different areas I might be interested in before having to commit time and effort to them. I spent a lot of time taking classes and not knowing where I was going with them and it was by chance that I saw a flyer on a wall that lead me to my major of neuroscience.

I wish I had known how to study for my classes. When I came to this school, I had never needed to study. If I had known the proper way to study, then I would have gotten better grades.

There are sitiatutions in college that you would not see in high school. There is much more freedom coming to college and with that. means more room for error in the students. Howeever, going to college is great and it puts you out of your comfort zone. Do not be afraid to take risks because it will change you for the better.

That I was going to stay this long.

If I could tell myself anything before going to the University of Arizona, I would tell myself “Stay focus and do not lose sight of your dreams and aspirations.” College has been a very stressful yet rewarding time in my life. I do my best to stay optimistic and better my chances for a future I want for me and those around me. I know as long as I stay focus and determined, I can accomplish my dreams and aspirations.
