University of Tulsa Top Questions

As I am a transfer student for the 2015 spring semester, I cannot accurately speak to The University of Tulsa specifically. However, I have accumulated almost 150 credit hours from other accredited institutions and analyze the college experience as a whole. The most governing mantra for me remains: "Get over yourself." The application of this phrase avoids several unfortunate collegiate experiences including irresponsible drinking, arriving late or missing class entirely, forgetting assignments, or uttering the wrong phrase at the wrong time to professors - simply out of naiveté. Respecting others and eliminating selfishness provides the most successful and rewarding college experience.

I wish I had known more about the history of the school and the additional opportunities it offered by way of extra-curricular activities.

I wish I would have known more about time management, how to study efficiently, and outside scholarships.

There is alot of focus on On-campus students it feels like. Commuters can feel lonely or left out of alot of the activity and college experience. But there are commuter groups to get involved in and your college experience is mainly up to you. You should find a friend on campus that you can crash with every now and then so that you can get your feel of on campus life and the college experience, but don't be disheartened by anything. You're saving money to live off campus after all!

I wish I would have known how to really study. My high school didn't prepare me at all for the hours I've spent in my books. I've had to learn, and quickly, from friends who had better study habits in high school.

I wish I would have had a complete outline of the courses necessary to my degree, and when they would be available. With that I could've suffieciently planned out my entire bachelor's degree.

Before I had arrived at the University of Tulsa, I wish I would have known how many more opportunities the unversity had to offer. Their are so many campus organizations to choose from and get involved in, I was overwhelmed as newly arrived freshman.

Just how expensive it really is!!

I wish I had known coming out of high school that success only comes from hard work. I wish I had known that working hard academically in your late teens and early twenties would pay off exponentially later in life. Most of all, I wish I had known that a life lived without challenging oneself is a life that has not lived up to its full potential.

Before I entered the University of Tulsa, I wish I would have known the difficulties of paying tuition.
