Cleveland State University Top Questions

I transferred to CSU in the summer. I attended Allegheny College in PA beforehand and the two schools are so completely different that I wish I had more of a chance to get to know the campus and how things worked than I originally did. Luckily, I found the people that I needed to and I got my questions answered and even though I am still trying to adjust, it is a good school and I feel comfortable and at home there.

I wish I would have known to buy my books from the used book store on campus. Some of the materials were cheaper than online stores or ebay.

That I could have taken my Gen. Ed. requirements at a much cheaper community college then transfered them.

I wish i had a college trust fund that would cover my entire college expense. So that way I dont have to worry about paying anyone back when I have completed school. I would like to be able to focuse on the future rather than having to worry about all these loans that have to be paid off.

Nothing

I'm white and am definately the minority to black, middle eastern/indian, and asians. I grew up in V.A. so diversity is nothing new to me, but sometimes I feel like I'm a victim of racism at this school. No one says anything b/c reverse racism is a taboo topic. I guess I'd wish I had known that no matter how much I demonstrate a need for aid or how good my gpa is, the scholarships are going to the ethnic kids with a 2.0 and a bad attitude. O affirmative action...

I WISH I KNEW WHAT TO BRING TO MY DORM SO I DID NOT HAVE TO GO HOME EVERY WEEKEND BRING EXTAR ITEMS FOR MY ROOM.

In high school, my teachers scared me into thinking that college was a scary thing, and if you don't get straight A's and constantly study, that you're going to do horrible, and pump gas for a living, but in reality, my college wants you to succeed, and will do everything in it's power (except for give you the answers) to help you succeed to a great carreer after you graduate

I wish I had known more about how progressive this school is. I wish I had known about the determination of the university to build itself into a strong force in the community and the region. I also wish I would have known exactly how vital CSU is to the city of Cleveland and the future of the city.

I wish I would have known that college is a lot harder than high school and that studying is a must, to be successful and obtain your future goals hardwork is a must and will pay off
