University of Southern Mississippi Top Questions

It is okay to take a break from hard science classes.

The school and all the faculty and students are amazing. Everyone is willing to give their all and help others, and it's a good environment to be in. I wish I had known more about the weather around Hattiesburg. I didn't realize it got super cold, and I wasn't prepared with the clothing that I brought with me. I also wish I had known about more scholarships.

I don't have any regrets, but i have back flashes of things i would have done differently now that i've been through alot. The first of things was taking things for granted. I wish i would of taken my classes and free access to the resources that were given to me. I felt just because they were there, they always were goin to be and that i didnt have nothing to worry about. i made plenty of mistakes that could have easily been avoided. With that being said use every resource your given like it was the last.

I wish that I had known more things about college life in general. I was not prepared for it, as I did not have a lot of help. USM is not that great about helping transfer students get their footing when coming from another school; they tend to only focus on incoming freshman. I wish I had known that before transferring here.

I wish that I had known not to stress over school work too much. I was nervous that the classes were going to be huge and that the professors did not care about the students, but they professors did everything in their power to help out each and every student.

I wish i had known that it would be that hard to find a job on campus..

I wish I would have known that I was not going to have a good time there or have my time waisted with the classes I take.

How large the campus really was and how crunched for time I would be to get from building to building for classes.

I wish I had known more about all of the scholarships that are out there.

I wish I had known how important the classes and people would become to me. It is difficult trying to mingle my new world with the one I still have at home.
