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

Alexandria

I wish I had known what a wonderful University it is. I believe that if I would have known how supportive, and encouraging the staff and educators are I would have chosen to go there a long time ago. I wish that I would have known that all I had to do was put my mind to it, and have a little faith in myself and my school of choice to be successful.

SIERRA

I had gained all types of knowledge about UOP before I applied. My academic advisor gave me so much information that I felt so confident in UOP that I applied within two hours of speaking with my advisor. I researched at least a dozen online universities. I'm so happy that I chose UOP, could not have asked for a better online school that has a great program!

Vanessa

My counselor was great so I feel I was well informed before enrolling in this school. The one thing I wish I would of known was that there are not very many locations for graduation. I dream of walking across the stage when I am done. Unfortunately I will have to go to a different city or state to make that dream come true.

Melody

I wished I would have known to ask the professers more questions during the classes I was taking Instead of just the minimum amount of questions.

Debra

I wish I had known how easy the enrollment process was and all the support given by the University employees. Enrollment was a breeze because i had three advisors to answer all my questions in ways that I understood. I also wish I had known that the convienence of online classes were truly as they were advertised. I can plan my day around my classes and assignments to fit my daily needs at home.

Derek

When I originally came to the University of Phoenix I was taking class on campus. I later switched to Online due to a couple life events. I would have liked to have been back on campus for my advanced 400 level courses, however, most the campus classes for the Accounting courses had been phased out and could only be taken online. I wish I had known about the future unavailability of the campus courses before enrolling. If I had, I would likely have chosen a university local to where I live.

Angela

I wish I had known that it is going to be hard. At first, I did not realize how difficult the classes were going to be. I assumed that taking online courses would be easier than the on campus courses I had taken at a previous university. My first few courses were much more challenging than I had expected, but, with much hard work, I have been successful and learned much from my classes.

karyn

I wish I had known all the faulty ways this school has.

Celesse

Before I came to this school I wish I would of known about the student loans because I never knew that I could apply for a loan like that and be approved and I could actually go back to school and follow my dreams. I think if I would of known that sooner I would had went back to school a long time ago.

Kateridawn

Nothing, I am completely satisfied so far.

Aleah

Before attending University of Phoenix, I wish I had known how quickly a person can become enrolled and begin their classes. I called the University to speak to a counselor regarding my career-choice options and educational goals, before I knew it, I was applying for financial aid and registering for an online orientation class. Three weeks later I found myself beginning my first set of classes. All of this happened before I could reallize that the financial details had not been set. I wish I would have researched different school options as well as schoalarships ahead of time.

Katherine

Something that I wish I would have known was that going back to school at University of Phoenix is a very helpful school. With all of the professors, as well as advisors are there for you anytime that you need them. The OLS is very easy to nagivate and get the hang of. As going to college online is a challenge, but with Univeisty of Phoenix they help you with time management and making school into a habit.

Laura

I wish I had been better prepared to study as hard as is expected of me and wish I had known the teachers were so willing to help even before the classes start.

Angela

I wish that I had known how hard the classes would be.

Dawn

I wish that I had known how easy it was to go to school online. If I had known how easy it would be, I would have started school years ago instead of waiting as long as I did.

Jacqueline

I wish I would have known that i had to have certain criteria to get in this college it is alot. But I made it and that is all that counts.

Cheryl

I was pretty prepared on what to expect out of college. Being a single mother with a full time job seems hard, but having a school like University of Phoenix makes it very easy to manage your time. There is nothing I wish I would have known before going to this school, because I was well prepared aws to what I was about to embark upon.

tim

That I would have to do a lot of the learning on my own.

Nathan

I wish I would have known how much I would be short on tuiton.

India

Before I came to this school, I didn't know exactly how the policy goes with making payments. So when I first signed up and found out that I had to pay for my classes up front almost 2 weeks after I started, it did put me in a little rut. But, I was still able to pull it together and pay it off well. It is important that you ask your student advisor these kinds of questions before you decide on what school to come from. Other than that, I really love this school.
