University of Phoenix-Online Campus Top Questions

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

Sara

I wish that the school was a little more forthcoming about the lack of continuity in the financial aide department. I have found that they change advisors like gloves. I get frustrated because of the lack of continuity. This part of the college experience is very sensitive to me.

James

I just wish some of the programs were more computer friendly. It is hard to see how the classes are set up at first and how teachers do their syllabus. Over all the staff has been very helpful, from the administration to financial aid. I am still learning the in's and out's. I am a nurse so I learn quickly.

Josefina

I wish i would have known how easy the whole entire process of becoming a phoenix was because I spent so much time looking for a school like this one. I would have attended this school since the very beginning right after graduating high school. I consider myself fortunate to attend such a wonderful school.

Tana

That I could use employer benefits to help pay for it.

Cynthia

After many years I returned to school and now had a family to take care of as well as a job. Going to school full time is difficult at any age but the older you get and the more responsibilities you have it only gets harder. Take advantage of the advice of other students. Set a schedule for your self and stick to it. Allow yourself enough time to learn the material and if you need help-ASK! Remember, just because you don't have to go to class, doesn't mean you don't have to do the work

Ashley

Not Applicable.

April

When I graduated high school with attendance honors and ranking in the top fourth of the class, I originally was considering going in the military to increase my knowledge, skills, mindset, strength, and focus to advance myself into college and to earn my college credits. Before my son was born I had wished that if I could go into the past and talk to my high school self and convince her to go into the military but now that I have had my son I am unaware of the ramifications if I would have done that.

Alisha

I wish I had known even though your syllabus may say one thing, but your instructor says another whatever the insturctor says is the final say.

Jessica

I wish I realized how difficult it will be to pay the loans back.

noe
