Texas Southmost College Top Questions

I wish I had know that financial aid does finish. I did not know that till this last semester my loans went directly to pay for my classes.

I wish I had known about how the presidents and board members of the college are not willing to hear out students and help gain school spirit . Coming fresh out of high school I still imagined the same preppy fun spirit but unfortunately there at TSC it's a whole different ball game. I actually created and founded a dance club/team on campus and trying to get the president and board members to hear us out never works, We always get turned down and they treat us like we are nothing everytime we go with them with ideas.

Its only has for you to get your associates maximum of 2years.

Before i came to this school i wish i could have known how easy and fast time would pass through out the semsester. I would also take more classes to finish faster and proceed to obtaining a higher education. I wish i could have know that as long as you give it your all and work hard the classes will be extremely easy.

TSC exceeded my expectations by offering extensive help with the admission, registration, and financial aid processes. The counselor staff were very supportive and helpful while providing guidance on my educational goals and needs. With the assistance from TSC, I was able to gain confidence and energy to start my first semester in collge. I would recommend TSC to everyone I know.

I do not wish to know something I already informed myself in any sort of particular way.

I wished I knew that I would have choosen this degree plan from the start instead of changing my major two times.

I wish I would have known that to get work- study you should of applied before getting into the college. This way I would've had a greater opportunity to get a job within the university. I really did not know much about how work-study worked.

I wish had known before came to Texas Southmost College a little bit more information about financial Aid. Becasuse I had no idea about school scholarships or Financial Aid struggles as verification. Most of the time, TSC think that HS students are already informed of it. But is not true. That is why I suggest that TSC send a person from Financial Aid to each HS. In order to get clear any possible questions about financial Aid.

I wish I had known How helpful and friendly the staff is; I would have attended right out of high school.

I wish I knew it was cheaper than the university i was in. Also, how there is less students in the classes and the teachers can work with you individually and being able to answer your questions immideatly. In some classes, our books come in the system and that is a money saver and it is quick to use anytime and we can't use the excuse that we forgot our books. I wish i knew all of this before attending the university i was in.

I wish I had known about the Texas Excellence grant, that money would of helped me alot this year.

work/study jobs

i wish to have known about the specific courses for the nursing program to be taken.

That it was even more amazing than i thought.

Before I had come to this school I wish I had known how involved I would be so I could have started doing many things in high school. When I was in high school I didn't know my full potential and now that I do I wish I had explored it in high school as well. I wish I would have taken my studies more seriously as well. I wish I had been more involved. So if I could go back in time to tell myself anything it would be to do everything I wish I had done then.

I wish I would have known all the clubs and extracurricular activities that the University provided to its students.

that the work was going to be very demanding. and there was not going to be enough hours in the day to complete the homework.

I wish I would have known how loans work and how to get free money; not being able to make up your mind about 'what you want to be when you grow up', only adds to the loan debt and the decreasing usage of your lifetime pell grant. Things are way different now that why I started school in 2001, and I can honestly say students were a lot more careless back then than they are now- I was one of them! Existing funding cuts are in place for that purpose- to be used wisely! Don'd waste time, finish!

I wish I had a better idea of what major I want to strive for and live with the rest of my life. That way I wouldn't be as afraid of choosing a career I might regret in the future. Although UTB has a great system of classes that is flexible with any major, and they provide many different types of advisors.
