Utah State University Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Nicole

I researched this school well before choosing to attend. For someone considering it for their education, I would definitely recommend checking out the scholarships the school gives out! If not then, make contact with financial aid.

Audrey

I wish I had known more about college in general. No one in my family went to college, so I did not know how to choose classes, where to get my books, or what college classes would be like. Thankfully, I was able to work with the staff and become better oriented with the college.

You don't really need a car at this campus; both of the bus systems are free and get you anywhere you need to go, even if you're leaving campus. Bring your hiking shoes also.

I wish I would have known how difficult it was going to be! Nobody ever talked about USU very seriously so I thought it would be an easy way to start out my college career and kind of get the hang of things! I was completely wrong, though! It has turned out to be challenging, but totally worth it.

Brittany

I wish I would have realized how cold it really was. That way, my first semester I would have been more prepared.

Larry

I wish I had more about what is all available to do here. There is so much to get involved in, I was lucky and found my niche and got involved early but there is so much more that I discovered I could take part in that I wish I could have done it earlier!

Tiffany

That studying is more important than you think it is. In highschool the information I was being taught was at a slower pace and was easier to absorb but here it is quicker and unless you study you will fall behind. I wish I had known to study as much as possible so that it would have been less stressful.

Ashlee

I wish I would have known where the best and cheapest places to live were. Also if I they would help me get a job with my degree that I will earn.

Amy

Before I came to this school I wish I would have known how difficult it was to find a job at different times.

Amanda

I really can't think of anything. I was nervous at first it's a big campus, but everyone has been really helpful, in every way. Even letting me know about the extra resourses available, so I haven't had any problems.
