University of New Hampshire-Main Campus Top Questions

I wish I had known that transfer students can't live in dorms!

The thing that I wish I had known before coming to UNH was how much relies on my personal effort. I had always been told that success and enjoyment of college was determined by the effort that I was willing to put into the experience. I have learned quite quickly that responibility is mine and mine alone. Whether I succeed or fail is determined by what I am willing to do. This is a statement that is oft repeated but is one hundred percent true.

Before going to school, I wish I had known how little amount of time I would actually spend in my dorm room. I had been very nervous about getting a roommate and living on a floor full of girls. This however was wasted anxiety. I love my roommate, but even if that wasn't the case, I am barely ever in my room anyhow. College life has kept me very busy between classes, studying, work, the gym, clubs, etc.

Before I came to UNH, I wish I had known how to buy textbooks cheaper.

I honestly wish i knew more about it as a whole. As a senior in high school i applied to seven colleges UNH being my first choice. I didn't know much but i liked the way it looked when i visited. I also wish i knew that it was easy to change majors. I didn't know that if you weren't happy with what your major was that it was extremely easy to adjust and become more satisfied.

I wish I had known how big the campus actually was. I was at first disappointed, thinking I was attending a small school which was the opposite from what I had intended on doing. There was a whole side of campus I was completely unaware of. I was also told that most classes were very small, which was not the case at all. There are vast amounts of lecture halls, which break up into small groups for furthered learning.

That the diversity of the students was extremely low. I figured New Hampshire was not really a diverse state however I did not realize how large the white population is and how small the minority population is.

I wish I had known more about the sciences and I wish I had known more about class requirements.

There is nothing I can think of that I wish I knew before I came to school. If I came to school knowing how to manage my time, take on new responsibilities, make new friends, and how to deal with being away from my loved ones back home, then I would not need to be in school. These are important skills and life lessons one learns while living away from home for an extended period of time. I think even if I were to fail all my classes, I would still be better prepared to live on my own.

How much being a music education major word actually cost me.
