Valdosta State University Top Questions

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

Roderica

Before coming to school I wish I would have known that there would be a lot of work that you can easily fall behind in. Each class meets nearly every other day and has respective homework; however, if you wish to have a social life either you quickly learn time management or you let your grades suffer. For some people (like me) extra activities is what helps you find balance. The main thing is to figure out the best way to manage your time.

I wish i had been a little more monetarily stable and knew how to budget better. Although I didn't grow up with a bunch of money. I pretty much always was able to get the money i needed or the things i needed. I also worked when i was in highschool and i only had one extracurricular activity that had me to take time off of work and that didn't happen often. Here i have many so i don't work that often.
