Oklahoma State University-Main Campus Top Questions

I wish I had known how to deal with my roommate. My roommate is my bestfriend from high school and I thought that we would get along great and experience all aspects of college together but I soon realized that our priorities were different. We do get along great, but I have learned not to depend on her anymore and the fantasy of thinking that we would be the bestest friends experiencing college together has vanished. I've learned that roommating with your bestfriend is sometimes not the best idea.

I wish I would have known how many t-shirts I was going to buy, and didnt bring as many from home to my dorm. Other than that, I absolutely love everything about Oklahoma State and would not change a thing.

How expensive and trying to make a budget before you come can really help you in the long run. Also applying early for aid and looking for extra scholarships on the top of the ones you do or do not have.

I wish I had known how windy it was at OSU before I came.

I wish I would have known how important it is to be involved with on campus organizations. They have connections that are priceless and can get you some very important contacts which can even assist you in getting an internship. It is also a great way to make friends for life!

Something i would of wished i had known before i went to school would be how hard it was to get acclimated with all the free time that college has.

That even though I had many leadership positions in high school, I would not get all of the positions I applied for once coming to college.

Before comming to Oklahoma State, it would of been nice to know that weekends here were quiet. You have to be very resourcefull to find somthing to do other than party. I got around the slow weekends by finding my crafting side, and working with childern and the domestic violence shelter.

Do not be afraid to put yourself out there and meet as many people as you possibly can. Every other student around you is just as eager and anxious about eveything as you are, so don't be scared!

I wish I would have known how hard it was going to be to fit in. This first year has given me many trials and tribulations. 2 of my roomates have moved out, I have been turned down for 3 jobs that I have applied for. Often times I feel defeated. But, I will keep pressing on for a better future in the education field.

I wish I would have known the ammount of time outside of school that you needed to finish projects. I spent alot of time trying to catch up on work in class that I should have already done in open lab, but didn't realize that it was open to all students.

The weather in Stillwater changes faster than the wind does. Be prepared for temperatures around 100 degrees, then later the same day it may rain. Also, if you don't have a car, don't worry. Stillwater is small and the University runs a free bus service.

I wish that I would have known some of the differences between college and high school classes. Before attending college, I had no idea what to expect out of a college course. It would have been helpful to know the average size of a class or more about class assignments and grading policy. But, the college instructors of some of the lower level courses here at Oklahoma State University do very well in making the transition from high school to college as easy as possible.

If i could go back to my senior year I would have taken a math class. This year as a college freshman I can not take a math class this year because I do not remember what I had learned. My last math class was the first semmester of my junior year. Another thing I would have done differently is i would have started applying for scholarships earlier. I was told by the office of financial aid that i had plenty of money from Pell and OHLAP combined with the school's freshman scholarships. Which turns out I was short.

How much great tradition there is here and how nice the people are!

that a C is a pain in butt to make up for later on when GPA becomes important. That engineering wasn't the route i wanted to go and that i'm better suited to the medical field. That a person can balance a booming social life and a spetacular academic life with a little bit of work and attention to detail. The library stays open until 2 am, and the outdoor adventure club on campus is . . . overly fun.

Before I began attending Oklahoma State, I wish I would have known what an excellent college it really is. I never knew what I was missing out on! Oklahoma State is pricier than the previous college that I attended, so it is a blessing that I am able to attend.

There is really nothing I wish I had known before arriving at Oklahoma State University. While I was attending, I wish I would have been more proactive about scholarships and financial aid opportunities.

There are many special programs for the agriculture majors that you needed to apply for, and knowing that beforehand would have made fitting in a whole lot easier. Overall, everything was told to me on campus tours and nothing was too new to me whenever I decided to go to school there and wen to my first day of classes.
