I wish I had known more about the scholarship opportunities they had to offer while I was still in high school.

Rebecca

I wish I had known that UTB and TSC were splitting up. This effected alot of people. The students, factulty, and staff. The students at UTB don't have as many class choices as they used to have. Some of the faculty got laid off along with some of the staff.

I wish I knew that I could get a discount at Churches Chiken because I am a student! This school is just great.

Ruby

I wish I would have known that UTB and TSC were going to split up because they've been making a bunch of unnecessary changes.

I wish i knew how to do a resume and satisfy all the requirements to get a job easily in school. I would've also wanted to be sure of the major i was going to study in order not to waste time in my career education. Another important thing, i would've liked knowing was that there were many scholarships opportunity that i could've applied to in order to help me in my education expenses and rely heavily on my loans.

Juan

I wish I had known about the incredible facilities they have. The gym is amazing. It has raquetball, basketball, a small track, weights, and locker rooms. The Arts Center also looks amazing with its decorations and artwork being displayed all over the building.

Janie

I would have asked more questions about mediacal waivers and found a more cooperative campus staff. The office staff seem very cold, distant and uncaring about the people that attend campus. Not to mention the staff is not forth coming about information or special departments that can help a student. Not to mention childcare is only avalible to nursing students and other in the more vocational training.

Yvette

I did not know that the university would help me with my accomodations. The accomodation that I had in high school. I have learn a lot this semester about the university. For example, there are different kinds of disabilities and help on campus for you to succeed. They also have workshops I personally make time to attend all of the workshops because I do learn from them. I did not know that there was a program at the college call A.S.P.I.R.E what they do is guide you through all of your college years.

Stephany

What I wish I had before comin to the University of Texas at Brownsville is time. There is so many activities and events I wish I could go but I have other things to do. There is always something to do in campus. They are many organizations and clubs that UTB have to offer and so many oportunities.

Miriam

Before I came to this school I wish I had known how much differnt it is than high school. I was shocked my first semster, because I had been so used to teachers always on your back to get your work done on time in high school. College is much more indepented, and you have to be resposible for your own work .

To know better what classes to take first for my degree.

Ashley

Beniise

The transfer from High School to a University is overwhelming. As a teen, my parents were my backbone for any situtation, responsibility and time management were no where to be found in my dictionary. Now as an adult, all I have wished to know, I have acquired through out my pursuit of knowledge at The University of Texas at Brownsville. Not only has this University helped me broaden my knowledge, it has also served to implement certain criteria, such as time management, responsibilty and values into my personal agenda.

Bryan

That it was way more easier to get into the university here in brownsville than other colleges here in texas. I got so many rejection letters for other school, dropping my self-esteem. As of right now Im happy Im in school finally living my dream of going to college.

I wish I had met "diligence" before I came to this school. I notice that as a full-time student, diligence is very required to preservere till graduation.

Albert

I wish i would have known to get here one hour early. The parking lots are always full.

Krystal

I wish i knew how to manage my time before I came to this school. But while in college i learned how to manage my time so with that I am learning how I can pick up my GPA

Benita

before coming to this school i wish i had known that there is not that much school spirit. i think school spirit is very important for a school in order for the students to get involved in school activities. i also wish i had known that its not the strongest school on the education field.
