Bradley University Top Questions

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

Michael

I wish I had more money because now I have two pretty big private student loans under my name that I would have to pay when schools over (not including my next two years). I was not completely ready for all the free time and to know how to study for the class that I was in.

John

I wish that I had done a little more research on the career path I was planning on at the time. Bradley is small, but they have an amazing amount of different Majors to study.

Michelle

I wish my high school had emphasized lecture notetaking. I had a variety of professors, some wrote their notes on the board, some had printed outlines, and some you had to pick and choose throughout the lecture what was important.

Erika

I wish I had more of an idea of what I wanted to study because I changed my major three times since first enrolling. this caused me to take on so many credit hours per semester in order to catch up so I could graduate on time. But the professors and students I encountered are some the best I have ever known and I would not change meeting them.

Brittany

I wish I would have know that Bradley University provided a wonderful education, and that I should have taken advantage of every class I had.

Lauren

I wish I had known how boring that Peoria was, to be perfectly honest.

Katy

The high school I attended was more interested in students discovering their personal interests than this college, and had more opportunities.

Randall

How large Greek life actually was. And true class sizes.

Nausheen

not too diverse.

Brad

I wish I knew the fast pace of the classes and also the work load at Bradley University. My freshman year I struggled trying to balance my social life with school. After my third year I finally feel I understand the hardwork expectations. Today I work over 20 hours a week at Walgreens and up to 5 hours working for Bradley University, I also am involved in a fraterity and CEO club. I understand the work load and have been able to stablize my time management most effectively.
