Radford University Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Caitlin

I wish that I had known my four year plan before I came to school. Time has flown by and I know what I want to do now, but only because I realized that I had two years left and that time was flying by!

Andrew

I wish I had been more prepared to say no to social life in certain circumstances in order to focus more on school. The longer I'm here however, the more I learn how to manage my time.

Jeffrey

I wish I had been given an opportunity to better know myself before delcaring a major. Because of my interest in social work and being a male I feel like they tried to force the program on me.

Alison

It's freezing in the winter and very windy, and the Dining Hall Closes at 7.

Jon

Nothing specific about this school, just college life in general.

Olivia

Theres really nothing that I wish I had known before I came here. Radford really prepared me for what to expect and what resources they had for students.

Katie

I didn't have a good idea of how many extra curricular programs were available

Brittany

I wish I had known that there was not a lot to do off campus

Ashley

The one thing I wish I had known before I came to this school is that is would be really cold in the winter. I was expecting snow and wintery mixes, but it stayed freezing the entire winter. I even slipped a few times because of the ice. Sometimes I did not even want to leave bed to go to classes! However, the spring and fall months here are beautiful and it balances out the bad.

Shanae

I wish I had of known about the area surrounding Radford, there is not too much to do in the town, most of the attractions such as the mall, restaurants, and other places to hang out are outside of the town of Radford.
