University of Idaho Top Questions

I wish I had known that the All Access food plan may look attractive because it allows you enter for food as many time as you want but the fod gets boring after a while. It also would have been nice to hear that college is less intimidating then I imagined it to be. Finally, I would tell myself to breath and keep your nose pressed to the grind stone. Scholerships are as easy to lose as milk.

I wish I had known not to stress as much. I've always had good grades, however I tend to stress about finances and my future. I am beginning to find that everything will fall into place, just maybe not the way I think it is supposed to.

I wish I had known all of my available places to live. The one thing that I also wish i had known was all of my options as far as scheduling classes goes, I went in under a program that did everything for me and didn't give me many choices.

I feel that I was well prepared for school. However, I do wish I had known that the food was the greatest. And to pick classes relativley in the same area, because sometimes 10-15 minutes isn't enough to trekk across campus.

I wish I had known some better study habbits. You can't just glide through college like high school.

I wish I had known how expensive student housing is at UI compared to off-campus. The savings I have made since I got my own apartment are immense, even with food , rent, utilities, etc. Student housing is way too expensive, especially for the lack of privacy and freedom you get while in the dorms.

I wish I would have known, from experience, how cold it gets here in Moscow. It has been about 15? all week for a high, and about 5? for the low. Other than the very cold winters, I love it here. I just would have liked to be more prepared for Moscow winters.

The water on campus is horid!

I wish I would have known about the cost of attending school a lot more and could have budgeting for the costs better.

I wish I would have known how important it is to get involved early in clubs and organizations. There is so much more to school than just studying. The hands-on experiences you gain from clubs is also extremely important.
