University of North Carolina at Pembroke Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Emily

I wish that I had known that focus can really be a great tool in succeeding in college. If you have the ability to focus, not just on assignments and essays, but on making sure that you complete your education, then you will be better off, because their will be a lot of people and situations that will deter you. Having a strong focus will eliminate those distractions and can make life smooth and easy.

Amanda

that you must have more of an outgoing personality to really fit in, or accept drinking alcohol. i'm not that girl.

Epifanio

I wish that i had known that the on-campus employment was scarce and hard to come by.

Mychal

If you don't join a sorority, fraternity, or sport, this school is very boring.

Desiree

I didn't know that this school is expanding every year. That's not a bad thing tho. UNCP is constantly renovating and building to accomodate the growing number of students.

Amy

Nothing really.. I knew a lot about it already

Travis

I wish I had known more about what I wanted to do with myself socially. I gained a lot of friends, but lost far more then I should have in the course of my first few semesters due to things that didn't really matter in the long run.

Dustin

I wish I had known how unprofessional some of the professors were at this college.

Candice

I wish I had known about the way the professors work and how to research properly.

Brittany

I wish that I would have known more about how to live on my own. All my life I was surrounded by family members. I quickly adjusted, but I would have liked to have been more prepared on "leaving the nest" as my mother would call it.
