University of Arkansas Top Questions

I wish I would've known how rewarding being in the Honors college would be at the University of Arkansas. I have achieved so much in just one short semester. I have learned alot about myself and my own capabilities by the work that I have put in here at the University.

I wish I had known not to be nervous about asking questions. There are thousands of other students in the same boat, so there is no need to be nervous about anything. I know now that if I ever have any questions abou anything, I can just call a phone number in that area, and they are always more than happy to help.

Be original and do NOT be afraid to stand out! I understand that it seems like everyone around you is wearing Chacos and NorthFace but in thirty years from now, will you really be concerned with what brand you were wearing or what social group you pledged? Absolutely not! Do not forget why you enrolled in college – for an education and a brighter future! These next few years are the deciding factor between a job and a career. Make the most of this time, not only for now, but for the rest of your life!

Buy RAINBOOTS! When it rains here, it rains sideways and floods.

I wish I had known about the in-state tuition waiver. I found out about it really late and although I had a great high school gpa, my act score was only one point away from allowing me to qualify for in state tuition.

It's a whole new ball game. College is more than just the next step in school, it's the next step in life and so much changes beyond just the kind of classs you take.

The location of the campus is on a very hilly terrain. Walking up and down hills is a daily activity for most if not all students. Luckily however, buses transit the school (for free) all day and help transport students all over campus and to locations around the city as well.

I would not necessarily want to KNOW something in particular about the University, because I wanted to learn about it as I progressed each year. I wanted to learn by experience. However, I do wish that I had been prepared better financially. I wish that I would have had a savings account or made sure that I had someone to support me financially, because one thing we need to understand as students, is that we need to have financial support because it is very difficult to study and work efficiently at the same time and be successful at both.

I wish i had known how to adequately study and to go to my professor's office hours. Studying is important because by reading the book and reviewing your notes after a lector you understand more and have a better chance of remembering what you learned. Going to the professor's office hours is important for many reason. First, it helps to get aquanted with your teachers because they are the ones that control the grades and usually grade more leniently for students who have come to them for help. They also right your recommendations for jobs and scholarships.
