Dakota State University Top Questions

I wish I had taken more AP classes in high school so that I could have not repeated several of my generals. They were so similar to my high school classes that it was sometimes boring.

I think I did know most everything I needed to know being that I am a returning student after tweleve years of not being in school I asked the right questions this time before I started with DSU. I was quickly reminded how much work school is and this time I want to learn everything I can from my experience in school. I do think the only thing that could have been covered more thoughly was how to use D2L website before classes began.

I lived in the town of Dakota State University, so I knew a great amount about the university. I wish I would have known that living in the dorms would have been better in my first year of college here. People that live in the dorms at DSU end up becoming more socialized then those who live off campus. I would have liked it if they would have told myself about the advantages of living on campus.

I wish that I would have taken a skills test that physically tested me on my capabilities and interest so that I could have made up my mind as to whether or not what I thought were my strengths were actually my strengths.

That it is a great friendly school and that the professors really want you to learn.

I wish that I had known how much more difficult college is than high school. Not only academically, but socially. The first semester was really rough on me. If I was better prepared I belive the first year of college would have been alot smoother for me.

I wish I had known more about what there is to do in Madison or the lack there of. I wish I would have known the food is not very good and is pretty much the same thing everyday.

Before coming to college, I wish I had understood my major will take longer than most. Understanding that 12 credits is full time but 14 or 16 a semester is do-able and will get you through much quicker! Especially when majoring in a composite major, taking a few more credits a semster will help pass the time!

I wish I would have known how many classes to take my freshman year to have me graduated in the time I wanted. Instead of graduating in 4 years I will be graduating in 4.5. This is ok since I am double majoring but it would have been nice to know.

I wish I would have known two things; that there is very little parking for students who live off campus, and that the only place to get everything you need as far as shopping goes, is Lewis!
