Bowling Green State University-Main Campus Top Questions

Before I came to this school I wish I knew better time management skills.

I wish I would have know that college is not like high school where you can do the homework and but not study and still pass the class. I also wish i sould of known that doing things like community service and other National honors society do make a difference when it comes to applying to jobs.

I wish I would have known about scholarships that were being offered.

I wish I had known how to study better. I never really had to study in high school so now I'm paying for that weakness in lower test scores than I would like.

I wish I had known that what I think and say matters, and that I felt more confident about speaking up in class. As I became more confident in myself and got more involved in class discussions, I got more out of classes.

I wish I had known the extent to which my undergraduate studies would have an impact on my future goals. We are all told that the mere act of obtaining a diploma is important, though little emphasis is put into the quality and intensity of coursework and the effects it has in future school applications, job searches, and similar situations.

Before I came to this school, I wish I knew how windy it could actually get.

I wish I would have known about more scholarship opportunities to pay for school.

I wish I had known that most all of the classes were attendance based. I'm the type of student that can miss a good amount of school and still manage to pull off good grades. Therefore, the fact that a portion of my grade came from me attending class each and every day was a major let down because I was always given the impression that in college it was your choice to attend or not attend classes.

People are so kind here. In my home town, holding doors for people is an anomoly. In Bowling Green, everyone holds doors, says thank you, and walks out of other people's ways.
