University of Nebraska-Lincoln Top Questions

How much work it took to acheive the grades you wanted. I knew it was going to be hard, but I didn't know how much I actually had to read during the week.

I wish I knew this was the school I wanted to be at. I transfered here for my sophmore year and it was one of the best life choices I have made to this date. I wish I would have explored my options better my senior year of high school, then I would have been at UNL my whole college career.

I wish I would've known how much more different it would be. I wish I would've known the proper amount of studying I actually need that I am now doing after realizing it last semester. Also, I wish I would've known how much I was going to mature.

I wish I'd known how strange (and wonderful) was going to be to have the power to make my own desicions. In high school, even if you're over age, you still live at home. You still have your parent's authority over you- heck, when I'm at home even now I check in with my mom when I go places. But in college, when you're no longer living at home, there's a freedom to make choices. It seems really obvious, but be careful how you use that new freedom.

I wish I would have known how much money that I would be spending on supplies and books.

Go to a community college first and take online classes for the intro stuff. While you do that, get a full time job and you will have a lot less debt.

I wish I would have been more prepared about how big the campus really was and how much of a change it would be.

There is a lot of construction going on, all the time.

I wish I would have known the difficulty of the science classes here, as I would have prepared better for the competitive classes in the sciences.
