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.

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.
