Radford University Top Questions

I thought the admissions office did a great job with giving me all the info I needed.

How expensive everything was

I wish I had known the importance of attending a school that offers such a tremendous avenue to persue an education, and to be willing to accept a person that has a past that doesnt look so grand. I like the fact that this school is availiable in my current city, and state.

How much of a party atmosphere there really was.

How to deal with freshman year better

I wish I had known what I wanted to major in; therefore I could have began my education on the right foot. I also wish I had applied to more scholarships or grants in order to ease my financial strain for the year. Although I am happy with my decision of school and I enjoy my small classes and the challenges of my courses. This is all a learning experience for me, there may be things I would redo if I could, but I am enjoying the lessons I am learning along the way.

I wish I knew how cold it would get during the winter.

I wished that I had stayed for a weekend down there to get a feel of what the campus was really like. The tour was great, but when I actually moved down there it was a lot different than the tour made it sound.

Before i came to Radford University I wish I would have known the importance of reviewing class notes at the end of every day. Doing this makes it so much easier to retain the information and that way when exam time comes around the information written in my notes wouldn't have seemed so foreign! I also wish I would have known how much it rains here so I could have brought rain boots :).

That my Pell Grant wouldn't cover all of my expenses and I would still need a student loan to pay for my books and some of my tuition and my parking pass.

i wish i would have known how to manage my time better when it comes to studying and maintaining a social life. i also wish that i would have known better study techniques in order to help me concentrate and learn the material for my classes more efficiently.

I wish i knew a little bit more about our school activities and ways to join, including sororities. I also wish i knew more about ways i can interact at my school in general.

More about the tuition expenses

I wish I had known that Radford University is extremely cold during the winter.

Radford University has a great balance of social life and academia, if you are part of a sorority or fraternity, it would be very rewarding at this school. 80{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of students are currently involved in them and they still have time to do well in school, in facmy time during the week and on the weekends. Also, breaks are misleading, they are actually a time where I catch up on work, not rest.

that in the winter it got below freezing!!!

what I know now

I grew up in the area, so I feel that everything I should have known, I did.

How much it is based upon sororities and fraternaties. Not that I'm against them, I have lots of friends in them but just personally prefer not to be in one.

I think the thing I wish I had known before I came here was what I really wanted to do. I would really encourage new students to take a good look at the fields that are available and pick something that will not only make them happy, but provide them with a steady job after they graduate. Going into college not knowing what you want to do can be an expensive experiment that may hurt you in the long run.
