Texas Lutheran University Top Questions

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

Jessica

This University, and others as well I think, will make it difficult to get credit usable for your major through AP tests or otherwise. When they tell you that Calculus 1 is taught differently here than at your high school, call bs on them. If you aced an AP test related to your major, push to have it count as a class FOR YOUR MAJOR. That said, it is easy to get non-major related credits.

Amy

More about how small the theatre department is. I would have liked to hang around with the theatre kids for a few days, to see what they thought of the department.

Greg

I wish I could have been a little more focused on my grades. I wish I had been more prepared for my baseball career.

Heidi

I wish I had known how often classes were offered and which semester I needed to take each class.

Valerie

Before I came to TLU, I wish I had known how focused you had to be. I had always heard that college was harder than high school but I never understood in what way. I think the hardest part of college is peer pressure to fall behind. Friends at college ask you to go places or hang out and you have to be able to say no. I wish someone in my family could have explained the difference from colege and high school to me.

Brittany

I wish i had known alot more about the different activities and clubs i could join, because i would have joined them sooner. But it is ok because upon attending TLU I was given the opportunity to see first hand how much fun the other students have in each club. I also had the ability to see what each club did, so I was more capable of picking a club I would fit well with and enjoy more.

Kat

Just that my own financial circumstances would change. I began receiving less financial aid after my sister graduated from college. I'm happy with TLU but the financial strain makes me wonder if it's worth it to attend. But I think it probably is.
