Tarleton State University Top Questions

I wish I would have known how important it is to get involved in student activities and be a well rounded student both for the college experience and for future careers.

I wish I knew how important the traditons were like attending Duck Camp because I feel like I missed out. The tradtions are such a major part of the schools history its best to participate in them all.

That it would be so expensive! And hard to find a good job...but I guess all "college towns" are difficult to find good jobs in.

How difficult the money portion would be to gain.

How small it is and how boring it can get at times!

I wish I would have known more about the campus layout before I came to this school. It was kind of confusing when I got here to begin my first semester.

I wish I had known that the parking was not adequate for the number of students on campsu.

I wish I had known how limited their selection of classes were. Since I attend the Tarleton University branch in Killeen, Texas our school facilities are smaller than our mother school in Stephenville so not all the degrees are offered at this branch AND scheduling your classes can be a little difficult due to the smaller amount of classrooms and teachers as compared to that on main campus.

I whish i would have known more about time management, and being prepared for freedom of choice. Tarleton has a wide diversity of students and just the same as any other university one may be exposed to many different views of others. These other views may influence you in many ways but i believe if some teens relied on themselves more before college in making decisions and resposibility it would make a tremendous difference in first year experiences at college.

I wish I had given more thought in regards to what carreer I wanted to prepare for. I first thought that I wanted to obtain a degree in Social Work and took a few classes however I changed my mind. I eventually decided upon a BS in Psychology. I completed all my core courses however because I was not sure in the beginning what my field of study would be, I ended up with extra hours that did not count towards anything. Although I gained some extra knowledge, I feel like I wasted some valuable time not to mention money.
