Tarleton State University Top Questions

I came to this school from across the country. I did not know what to expect when I got here other than what I read in the literature. I wish I had known how friendly the students and the faculty were before I came here. I never would have spent so much time looking at other schools.

I wish I would have known more about the transfer of credit hours. I had quite a few transfer hours, but I think I might have been able to take more classes that transferred if I'd known more about the university policies.

That once you sign up for housing you can not get out of the contract. That shopping was an hour to the nearest mall. How small the town really was.

The different organizations that were there, so that I could have been more involved in the beginning.

Nothing. There isn't anything I have done, or anybody I have met that I regret. I love Tarleton State Univeristy and I'm learning SO MUCH! Isn't that what college is about? I've learned so much about the world and myself, thanks to the people I've met and wonderful professors that have helped me along the way.

I wish I would have known better study methods. High school tests are much different than college tests. The questions are more about why something happens rather than when and who did it. It takes a deeper thought process. It has taken me a while to figure out how I study best.

Well this school has given me an amazing learning experiance, but the only thing that I wish I could have been made aware of is: the cost of school itself and the cost of living on and around campus. It is hard to estimate how much living really is. I recieved scholarships from my high school but they only helped the first year of school. I wish that the school could have given me kind of a heads up on how much it was really going to be.

I wish I had researched more into the opportunities available as far as facilities, courses offered, and specifics about the school. I am embarassed to admit that I had not discovered the wonderful resources available in the library until the beginning of this semester (my fourth year)! There are many courses availble that can be used for upper level elective hours that may not be a requisite for any particular major. Had I known what resources were available, I might have had an ever better experience.

I wish I had known that school would be so costly and that everything would keep going up more and more.
