Sam Houston State University Top Questions

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

Sarah

I wish that I had LISTENED to the advice given to me before I came to SHSU. That asking someone when you need help understanding something can be an indicator of wether or not you pass that class. Also, that studying outside of the classroom is all dependant on what grade you want to get.

Katy

To make sure to not slack off my first year.

Shae

I wish I had known that most students do not spend the weekends in town. I also wished I had known that school spirit and school traditions are lacking here.

David

I wish I had know that this was a commuter school, and that to make life work out here, you need a car. You can't expect to keep a job, take care of extra-cirricular obligations, and still have time for everything else that life throws at you without a car.

Melanie

that it becomes quite dead on most weekends

Tommesha

I wish I would have known how to go through the financial process.

Eric

Matthew

The viability of the major I had chosen for myself. I ended up having to switch majors because I found that the program I was enrolled in wasn't exactly for the ends I was looking for.

T

Nothing. If you do not know much, it's ok because there will be people there to teach you.

Leann

I wish I had known more about a few of the professors, for learning style purposes.
