University of Cincinnati-Main Campus Top Questions

I wish I had learned how important time management would be before coming to college. I had no idea how much I would have to manage between classes, labs, study groups, work, and campus activity. Having a day planner and scheduling classes to minimize days on campus has really helped. Time management was a skill I really had to learn right along with my course material in college!

Again, never being a student at the University of Cincinnati prior to the present, I have little knowledge of the institution, but I have heard that the parking situation at the main campus is chaotic and it is quite difficult to be accepted into the Nursing program.

Being away from home would be harder than I thought.

I would like to have known that the general physics course is terrible and that most of your general education classes can be taken at Cincinnati State, the local community college, and they transfer pretty easily.

My school gave us a broad experience in the field of Industrial Design, that I took every advantage of through CO-OP and corporate sponsored design projects. From all the positive experiences I had during my five years at UC and the years after graduation that my current succesful career could be 10-fold if I knew what I currently know so I could of specifically niched my choosen specialty in Industrial Design. I am glad at my experiences and always am seeking what is coming around the corner in my career in the years to come!

I wish i would have known more about the college. It was fairly difficult to go from one class to another since they're located very far apart and there're many different routesto get to each class's building.

There is a lot of drinking. It's really hard when you don't drink, and a majority of off-campus activities include drinking.

Some of the great areas/experiences off-campus. I am roughly 450 miles from campus and I had know idea there was so much to do in Cincinnati. The Ohio River, Newport on the Levee, malls and shopping areas, Cincinnati Reds, Cincinnati Bengals, and tons more. Cincinnati is really better than most of the country gives credit for. I am glad I had the opportunity to experience some of these venues.

I wish I would have been more knowledgable about city life and the types of people and lifestyles you see while going to an urban school. I grew up in a suburb so I was unaware of many of these things. I also wish I would've known about other scholarships or financial aid that I could receive.
