Emporia State University Top Questions

Before attending college, I wish I would have known how to balance my finances between school needs, tuition, leisure activities, etc. I believe that going to college anywhere is a financial struggle for most students. I wish I would have known how to prepare for each school year better than the last.

I wish I had known about the leadership minor! It is a fantastic program that few schools offer. My freshman year was the pilot year, so it had not been heavily promoted yet. Other than that, all the information I needed was right at my fingertips. Whether I went online, dialed the phone, or grabbed my car keys for a roadtrip, staff here at ESU were ready and able to help me in any and every way. I felt quite comfortable stepping on to the campus for the first time as a student.

Actually it was an easy transition from high school into Emporia State. The people are really great which made it easy.

How much homework really affected my grade.

I knew a lot about school befor i came. i was very well prepard!

Nothing.

I wish I had known someone else that was coming to this school with me. My housing arrangement was awful my first year and it made it very hard to make friends.

That the classes have started getting bigger, I liked the size they were last year.

I wish I would have known how much work it is to graduate in my field. I wouln't have gone to a community college first; I would have just come straight to ESU.

I wish I had known that coming here would be a repeat of high school and that there are not higher expectations for us. We are not pushed to further ourselves and learn as much as I expected a college to do.
