University of Wisconsin-La Crosse Top Questions

I wish I had known that I had a second advisor. Because of my major, I need two advisors, but the academic program can only list one. It would have made some things a little easier to know that I did have a go-to person for them.

I wish I had known that the key to enjoying youself is to get involved. It sounds so cliche, but it's true! My freshmen year I hated it because I didn't get involved. I had a blast once I got involved in my residence hall and haven't looked back on coming here again.

I wish I would have known that at UW-L , they make it virtually impossible to get right into your field and graduate within 4 years. Most programs are turning into 5 year programs. This is making students take many courses that are unneeded, which is costing a whole years tuition + living expenses. I have been told that my program usually takes juniors over sophomores, and then its another 3 years after getting accepted instead of 2. For this reason, I have decided to transfer schools where I have already been accepted into my program.

Yes, I wish I would have known my university wasnt as culturaly diverse as I would have hoped.

I wish I had known more about involvements on campus as a freshman rather than waiting to get involved as a sophomore.

I wish I would have known my major right off the bat. Now I am a first semester sophomore and I am almost done with my general education requirements. The next couple years, my classes will be difficult since I won't have any easy gen eds thrown into the mix. I wish I would have planned better.

I wish I would have known what professors were looking for when writing papers. Also, what areas to focus on when studying for tests. As well as being able to manage my time for academics, athletics and a social life.

People always say get involved, but I didnt right away and I wish I would have. Really get involved right away you will make tons of new friends.

I wished my high school education would have focussed more on sciences such as biology and chemistry. The core requirements in these classes is very demanding and a better background would have been beneficial for me personally.
