Washington State University Top Questions

I wish I had known how large the campus was to better organize my class schedule to make it to each class on time.

Prior to choosing this school, I attended a single day event on campus designed to introduce a prospective student to the University as well as a great deal of research. As such, I began school feeling confident that I knew everything I needed to know. However, I was unprepared for the interactive quality of the classes. Each class I attended my first semester had an online component that was used in class for participation. Consequentlly, I had to scramble to buy a laptop and find the money for the laptop, by the end of the first week of classes.

I wish I had known how to say no to friends who want to do something with me when I need to study. I also wish I had known that assosciating with people who have negative opinions of certain classes would make those classes harder for me to complete and do well in.

I wish I had known how to study better.

I knew a lot about Washington State university before I attended, there is not much that I needed to know before I went. All my questions were answered before I went.

How many on campus and off campus opportunities there are and how to balance them with the responsibilities of a college student! I think my campus is amazing, welcoming and offers SO many educational opportunities but no matter where, no college is cheap. I wish I knew how hard it is to balance school and multiple jobs to lessen my loans and future debt.

I wish I knew about the free utilities and resources available at the school. I was quickly introduced to them at the mandatory orientation but did not get enough information about them. I also wish that I knew about more scholarships that come through the school.

There are many things I wish I would have known before coming here this year. The biggest thing I wish I would have known was to study more than I did. The work and tests are so much harder than I thought they would be and that made it so that my grades wernt as good as they could have been at the end of the semester.

I wish I had known exactly what to expect when I went to college. Being a freshman you can get kind of lost for the first few weeks or so. But after that it's just awesome.

Since I toured the school several times before coming, I knew a lot about the school. There is not really anything I wish I would have know before attending.
