Kennesaw State University Top Questions

the amount of different people you will meet

I wish someone had told my not to live in the dorm without a full size fridge. I could've saved hundreds in food costs had I had a freezer to keep food in!

I wish I would have known as a high school senior how important it was to seek financial aid. I received the HOPE Scholarship; however, I never took the time to apply for other scholarships. I wish I would have known how much that would cost me as soon as I graduated.

I wish I had known how to better engage myself in social activities earlier on in my college career. I eventually learned how to do so, but I would have benefitted more if I had forced myself to be more social when I first entered college.

Kennesaw State University has made great effort in emphasizing how many services are available for their students, from fitness, to nutrition, to tutoring services. Before attending this institution I did not know that the services provided by Fitness Center extended to health assessments and ways in which to improve my overall health. However, other services that focus on my well-being is the availability of personal trainers to guide me through my physical improvement.

Figure out what you want out of life before financially comitting to school, then afterwords make the decision based on what you can actually afford. You might say you want to stay single until you are thirty, but sometimes God has a different plan, and it is wonderful to see- go with it. Never work for someone who abuses you in any way because there are other jobs. Going to bed at 9:30 at night is not a weird thing. Start losing weight now cause you look kick ass while your peers do not. Pray hard and work hard.

I wish I had known about it sooner honestly. It's an amazing school. From my student orientation alone I learned so much in detail about my major requirements, my teachers, and my classes. I wish I had found out about it sooner because the sooner the apply the more scholarships you are apply to recieve. WIth more scholarships I wouldn't have to worry about oulling out loans and applying for scholarships close to the beginning of the school year.

The living conditions were not what I was used to.

I wish I had known how much I had to study and to take advantage of clubs and campus organizations earlier on in my college career. I wish I had been more prepared financially in order to participate in things that I really wanted to. Overall, I wish I had thought everything out more carefully before jumping into college. I made the most of the time I was there, but I wonder if I could have done more.

It is very difficult to stay intune to what is going on on campus. I find out about events either days after they have happened or the day of. Another thing I wish I had known was that my scholarship wasn't going to cover all I thought it would. Take a good look at what your scholarships do and do not cover. It never hurts to have too many scholarships!

There are two things that I wish someone had told me about when I started gioing to college at KSU. For starters I wish that someone had told me not to use my student loan refund card, because I'd eventually have to pay it back. Also to rely heavily on the syllabus. Everything is in it and I would have been better off using it as a guidline for my yearly schedule rather than commiting all of the work to memory.

I wish I would have known about the Dual-Enrollment opportunity. My high school didn't advertise that program and instead I only took AP classes during high school. I would have preferred starting school earlier so that I could get used to college life more quickly. I also wish I knew that we didn't have to take all of our core classes first. In doing so, I think I hurt my GPA by being a little too overly ambitious with the classes I took.

I wish I had known about how many students attend the school. It is a pretty big campus with a lot of people. This is also a great thing for you get to meet a lot of people who share the same values and career goals as you. You are in constant contact with people of different ethnicities and backgrounds, which really makes you a better person. This is because you get to interact with others and learn more about them and where they came from.

I wish I would've known more about their law programs.

Know exactly what you plan to use your major for, Study abroad, and get an internship

I wish I would have known more about how to get involved on campus and what clubs/organizations my school offers.

I wish I would have known not to settle in too quickly to a group of friends, or a "click." If I accepted that I wouldnt be comfortable right off the bat and took a little more time getting to know my surroundings and peers I think I would have had a better first-year experience. Instead, I settled into a group of friends really quickly, who, dont get me wrong, are great friends, but I wish I would have broadened my relationships a little bit.

I wish I would have know how many extra fees the school adds on to tuition.

I wish i would have known how much it costed.

I wish they had a easier way to find out what is going on on campus before you got to campus.
