Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania Top Questions

Before I came to Shippensburg University, I wish I would have understood how much attention I would have to give my school work. If you want to go far in college, you have to want to. You have to be willing to put your school work above everything else to make it to where you want. But in the end it will be worth it.

Nothing.

I wish I would've known that high school doesn't really prepare you for the type of work that will be thrown at you in college. I also wish i would've known how to live more indepently.

I wish I knew more people and the different things to do on campus.

I wish I would have known that dropping classes had more severe consequences. I only dropped because I was also trying to work two jobs. I wish I would have known that working two jobs and going to school full time was nearly impossible.

Before I came to my school I wish I knew about a website that is specifically for my school that allows students to rate the professors. Students rate how effective the teacher is, how well the class is taught, and how easy it is. Also, a student post comments about the professor or talk about their experinece during that semester. If I would have known about this website, then I would have been more careful with the teacher that I chose because some of the teachers I have I am not happy with.

I wished to know how well their Biology program is, and how well the Pre-Optometry program ran. I also want to study abroad so I looked at that also.

I wish that I had known more about the individual programs, so that I would be able to better pick a minor, and sooner.

I wish that I would have known how loud the dorms got at night, when I would like to be sleeping. They tend to get pretty loud. I also would have liked to know what dorm to live in depending on the classes you are taking, or the major you are in. I also would have liked to know how to apply for scholarships before attending Shippensburg University as a senior in high school.

I wished I would have known about the surrounding areas of this school before I came. I also wished I did my research as far as academic goes, I cam in thinking it was going to be just like high school and was soon to see that it was completely different I was on my own and didnt have to be forced to go it was all up to me.
