University of Louisville Top Questions

I wish that I had known how difficult it would be to return to college as a non-traditional adult student. I wish that I could go back in time and tell myself at 19 years old that I needed to finish my education before I started a family that needed my financial support. Returning to school has been one of the most rewarding, yet difficult, things that I have ever done.

I wish I had known that living on campus for the first year would help me feel more connected to the school from the beginning. I chose not to live on campus because of the cost, but looking back, I think it would have been worth it to pay a little more and live on campus. Luckily, I joined the Women's Rowing Team my freshman year and that helped me feel engaged in the community. Incoming students need to know that getting involved is SO IMPORTANT when you want to feel like you belong at this university.

I just I had known they still did not offer a physical theraphy program at this school. If I still want to focus on this, I will have to find a new school to attend in the long run.

Before coming to this school, I would have liked to know more about the classes I would have to take while pursuing a nursing career. I wish I would have had the opportunity to talk to one of the professors about what to expect in certain classes at the University of Louisville. Also, I would have asked to shadow a student that was already excepted into the Upper Division of Nursing, so I could see first hand how they performed throughout their day. By doing these things, I would have had a better knowledge about the University as a whole.

That it was so flat and when it rains, you MUST wear rain boots or you'll be soaked while walking to class.

I wish I had better understood the importance of volunteer and other extracurricular activities. Such activities expose you to a wide range of people that you might not otherwise associate with and thus really helps to expand your intellect while doing things that are fun and rewarding.

How to recieve scholarship money so I wouldn't have to work 3rd shift to put myself through school.

Nothing

The city the school is located in is very large and confusing.
