North Carolina A & T State University Top Questions

Before attending North Carolina A&T State University, I wish that I would have known how important it is to do research on a professor before choosing them. I just clicked on the first class that fit my schedule and ended up with a professor whom did not actually teach but only lectured the class. Now I know to check out the professors before actually selecting them.

Just how close to my family that I really was before I left. I love my school but if I had to do it all over again knowing what I know now I may have choosen to go to a university closer to home.

I wish I would have known how important it would be to save money, be strong minded, and responsible. In college you are your own responsibility and without knowing how to save money, you will have plenty hungry nights. You have to be strong minded to say noto peer pressure and do what you are supposed to do.

I wish i had known that the school was not surrounded by much. overall I love where i chose to recieve my undergraduate degree.

I WISH I WOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT THE DORMS WERE NASTY.

I wished I would have known before I went to college is how expensive it was. If I would have known that college was expensive, I would have started to save money and fill out more scholarships before I attended the school of my choice. I wish I had a counselor that exposed me to the expense side of college and would help me in finding ways to provide the appropriate expenses towards college. I should have done some research on the school of my choice so that I would be more aware of how to plan for college.

I wish I had known exactly where the dorm rooms were so I could have chose a better dorm to fit my class schedule and classes. If I had known this I would have chose to stay in the dorm in the middle of campus instead of staying in the one on the opposite side of my classes. I also wish I had known about the honors program because I would have joined my freshman year instead of hearing about it my sophomore year and It being too late.

I wish I would have known that I would barely come home because of the long distance from school to home.

How they place you in Residence halls.

I wish i would have known how bad the city was.

The cost to survive in school and the diffence in maintain a gpa from high school to college

I wish that I had known more about scholarships available for new students during my freshman year . The full importance of upholding a 3.5 or higher my freshman year in college meant nothing because I didn’t apply it properly. Over the 3 years of attending this university and becoming more involved with different organizations I have learned about the ample amount of scholarships set aside for specifically for freshman every year and it makes me want to go back and start all over and apply the knowledge I’ve obtained about the many scholarships awarded to incoming freshman.

That school comes before girls partys and everything thats not school related

There isn't much I can say about this school specifically in terms of hidden realities. I do wish I had known that the financial aid office would be very slow in processing your infomation. Now it has improved over the years but, prior to the changes, the service wasn't very unacceptable. Where other schools and students had recieved packages and student refunds a majority of us had to wait in 4 hour lines just to recieve service. We now have direct deposit and acess of account by web. Finally!!!

A little more about what to expect about college.

well I just wish I had know that having a good GPA doesnt automatically qualify you for scholarships, its kind of difficult to get money to help pay for the school. I attended a school where I got alot of financial help including scholarship because of GPA.

The best method to make sure you get the classes you need. There have been times when I had trouble getting required courses. If I knew then what I know now I wouldn't have had the trouble.

I wish I would have known how much at home readings I would have to do to be sucessful. I was expecting instructorst to tell me everything that was going to to be on test and exams, but that was not the case. If you did not read the assigned chapters, then most likely you would have trouble on the assignment.

I wish that I would have known that college life was going to be more fun than I thought because I always go into everything thinking it is going to be hard and sometimes I set myself up for failure.

I wished I have saved money as my parents instructed me to do. Every amount of money I received went towards material things, items that would not by any means help me in college. As time passed I continued to spend like a wild banshee not knowing how much my recent purchase would hurt me in the long run. When I got to college I quickly realized what my parents had been trying to tell me. Save your money you will need it when you are in college. Don't spend your money like there is no tomorrow.
