Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania Top Questions

I wish someone had told me that you don't have to study all the time. Studying is very important-- the main purpose of college is to graduate and get your degree. However, living on campus and being a full time student gives you plenty of time to do other things! I think that being involved in extracurricular activities during college has really helped me to grow as a person and encouraged me to do fun things while I'm not busy studying.

There is nothing that I did not know that I wish I knew. Everyone is very helpful and will give you the information you need to know before hand.

I wish that I would of known how many students attended the university. Somtimes the school seems small. I also wish that I would of known the weather conditions because winters are very cold.

I wish i had known how much free time you have. You have a lot of free time so you need to have really good time management skills to be able to balance everything you want to do with things you have to do.

How much I would fall in love with this school

Not to be so nervous and learn time management. Most first year students are nervous for classes and studying and meeting people. All you need is to balance your time. That was one thing that I learned and also something that my friends helped me with.

I wish I would have known more about all of the available clubs that were available, because I would have been more likely to join more clubs and organizations.

I walked into the college setting being pretty well prepared in every aspect, however I could have never predicted that I would need to know knowledge that I was already taught. Listening to lectures and writing papers on just about any topic has widened my eyes as to how much I could have learned if I would have appreciated my high school education. I wish I would have known the educational oppurtunities that were available to me before I graduated.

The only thing that I truly wish I had known before I came to this school was that, had I started the process earlier, I could have been a more contributing member of society, and had a greater self-image. I spent far too many years working to barely keep my head above water, when, had I simply shown some discipline and determination, I could be at a better place in my life by now.

I wish that I known that the school was not going to give us a different selection of food. We have to eat the same food everyday for lunch and dinner.
