University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh Top Questions

I truley cant answer this question becuase I never toured any colleges before attending the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. I chose it becuase it was a smaller student body as well as convienient to be an hour away from home and my obligations to the military.

Once attending Universiy of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, I wish someone would have told me how I needed to be spontaneous and outgoing from the start. Making friends is a lot easier in the beginning of the academic year when everyone is equally nervous than in the middle when things begin to settle down.

I knew quite a bit about this school which is why I applied. Both my mom and my grandmother are alumni of this school. I liked the location of the campus and the activities it offered. The city of Oshkosh is a nice size city located on a lake with a lot of great activities going on. I wish I had had a better idea of the direction I wanted my education to go, but I narrowed it down fairly quickly with help from my academic advisor.

I wish I would have known about all the opportunities and organizations that were here. For example, I am currently involved in the University Honors Program, Alpha Lambda Delta, and The National Society of Leadership and Success among others. I also wasnt sure what to expect as far as classes were concerned. I had no idea what the difficulty level would be or how the classrooms looked. One thing I was suprised to find were all the different ways people dresses with self expression. This concept was new to me because everyone dressed relatively the same in my small town.

That I would have more opportunities to perform at other schools, and also that it is easy to make friends if you put yourself out there and aren't affraid of people's reactions towards you being you.

I wish I had known that crowded parties with plenty of underage drinking in some stranger's house are usually a waste of time and energy. I wish that I had a flawless organizational system for all my homework and textbooks, and that I had taken Interdisciplinary Study Skills (how to study effectively) earlier in my educational career. I wish that I'd have known that the math class in which I'd enrolled was not one required in my program of study. Despite all these wishes, however, I did have a fantastic, joyful, and enriching first semester of college.

I wish I would have known how much better the campus is than what people told me. I had heard from many people how bad the underage drinking is and how instructors allow cheating on exams. But when I decided to attend UW-Oshkosh I was surprised at how student-oriented the campus is, and how different it was from my previous college experiences.

I wish I would have known more about the sororities right away within the first couple weeks of school. Now that I am in a sorority it has helped me tremendously with leadership, cooperation, and many other life skills that will help me after I graduate.

I wish i knew more about financial aid and scholarships to help me pay for college.
