Western Michigan University Top Questions

How much different the classes are in size compared to a community college.

I wish I had known about how spread out it was and how the transportation system worked both for on campus as well as off campus.

I am the type of person that loves to look ahead and plan out my next steps. This is often a good quality but it put a lot of unneeded stress on my life in the months growing near to college. I wish I would have been more aware that if you just relax everything will work it's way out. After stressing myself out for months, I finally came here and realized that this is the place that I am meant to be. I wish I would have focused more on all the opportunities I have coming my way.

I wish I had known how much snow they get, this way I would have packed some extra items for outdoor activities. I wish I would have found out if more kids from my hometown were going to attend Western Michigan University.

Before I came to college, I wish that I already knew about how much time I really do have to put into my schoolwork. In high school, I got by easily and I thought that college would be the same. I was wrong. I learned that you have to work so much harder because this is when it truely counts and is so much more important.

I wish I would have been better informed about what EXACTLY my chosen major was all about. I would recommend doing as much research about what your major is all about, what career paths are available when you graduate with that degree, and people you should talk to about your major. I guess what I am saying is I wish I had known everything about my degree before I decided to pursue it.

To not wait to get involved. Once I did become involved it made college even more enjoyable.

That most of the math teachers have a hard time speaking English well.

I wish i would have known how to be more prepared for orientation and the first day of college.

More money and an idea of what I wanted to major in.
