Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania Top Questions

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

Melissa

i wish i knew that the weather sucked

Kaitlin

I wish I would of known that school spirit is not as strong as some other schools. Being able to go to a football or basketball game with the seats packed with students is a lot more exciting and enjoyable compared to when the student section is less than half full.

Paul

I wish I knew it was a little too much country for my taste. It is very fun and awesome scenery, but I would enjoy it more if it was a little more city-type.

Samantha

i wish i would have known how amazing it is. i really love this school. the classes are the perfect size, the professors help so much, and the friends that i've met are incredible. i don't think i was ready for the amount of good things that were about to happen before i came here. i'm just so thankful that i came to slippery rock. i feel as though i will be able to succeed in my major and find my dream job

Don't be afraid to drop a class if you're not doing well. Teachers won't look down upon you, and your QPA is much more important. Usually you can always make up that class or you might even find that you don't need tha class anymore.

How depressing it can be when you don't get to see the sun for a while!

Laura

I wish I would have known how much trouble I have gone through. At first I loved it but now trying to keep a GPA up to their par to recieve finanical aid is killing me. I thought that this was the less expensive school that I picked, but that is just because the numbered they gave me were a bit unclear. I also exprected to make a lot of friends because that's how high school was, but since I'm not in a sorority no one seems to want to be friendly to us.

Brandie

That the amount I owe the school would vary so much from semester to semester. The first semseter I owed $500, the second none, the third and fourth $500 the fifth $1600 and this semester $2000.

Kelley

I wouldn't change to much I don't think. I wish I would have realized how easy I had it in high school. Alot more studying is involved in college and you have to force yourself to do it, unlike in high school where they force you to study.
