University of Wisconsin-La Crosse Top Questions

I wish I would have known that the weather in La Crosse is deceptively cold in the winter time. I can't say I would have wished for much more information about school and the monumental life change that accompanies it, because I believe that it's best for osmeone to learn these things on their own rather than someone telling them. It allows you to form your own, some what, unbiased opinion on the things you encounter.

The sports were not nationally ranked

I wish I would have known that there would be a bed shortage on campus, due to the construction of a new academic building and dorm hall.

HOW DIFFICULT MY FIRST SEMESTER WOULD BE. MY ADVISOR SUGGESTED I TAKE CALCULUS, BIOLOGY AND CHEMISTRY, WHICH WAS A STRUGGLE FOR MY FIRST SEMESTER.

Before I came to school I wish I would have known that where you go is not as important as getting a good education. I wanted to go as far away from my hometown as possible without keeping in mine how important my education was. If I would have started out at a smaller school, closer to my hometown, I would have saved a lot of money and I believe that I would have been better off.

How truly amazing it is :)

I wish that I would have known how much harder college would be than high school. I did not realize how much time and effort I would need to put into each class every single day. Going from straight A's in high school to C's in college was a struggle, and I wish someone would have told me to buckle down and make more of an effort my first two semesters of college.

I only wish I would have known how much I would enjoy the university before I had to choose a campus. It would have made the choice much easier. I have no regrets about choosing La Crosse and do not have anything else I wish I had known.

I wish I had known about all of the extra-curricular groups and events that we available for me to be a part of. The campus has so many clubs that I am now a part of that I could have joined earlier. I wish I would have thought to look at the bulletin boards where they post all of the fun events and club meetings the first semester I came. There were academic, athletic, political, religious, volunteering, and many more types of groups and events available that I am glad I am a part of now.

Some things that I wish I would have known before coming to this school was how small the campus feels when you're actually on it. I come from a very small town and a small high school of only 350 people. Going to a school with over 9,000 students seemed very overwhelming, but I thought I could do it. Now on campus, I realize that I can handle it and much more.
