Wichita State University Top Questions

I wish that I would have known more people before I got here. Coming here alone was very scary at first, because I understand that networking is the best thing you can do for your future. Then again meeting new people is a blast. I also wish I would have known more about the parking services on campus for freshman in the dorms, because it is a struggle trying to get to places, not having my car right outside the door like at home.

I wish I had known how much change was going to occur while I was attending school. In the course of my three years of study there have been mutlitple changes in buildings and structures that have gotten in the way of my over all satifaction with Wichita State.

I love WSU, the only thing I wish I had known before coming to it, is what I really wanted to do with the rest of my life. WSU is a fantastic university, I just wish I would have known myself better before going.

I wish I had know that to get an A you need at 95{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} or higher in a good portion of classes.

Actually nothing because the only thing I personally stuggle with is my finaces. Paying for school seems to be alot harder than I realized once I was in and performing in classes, but the idea of actually getting no asistance to pay for school kept me from attending until I researched financial aid options. It was just kind of a leeson learned.

I wish I had known how to navigate the many scholarship opportunities that would have been available to me as an undergraduate student.

I wish I had known more information about the different programs, student groups, and opportunities for returning-adult students. Many of the programs and activities are geared toward first time students, many of whom are close to 10-years younger than myself. It has made it difficult and awkward to get involved with these groups as many of the other participants do not understand that I have a life outside of college that includes a husband, mortgage, and children to take care of. If I had more information before I enrolled I may have reduced the adjustment period for myself.

I wish I had known that on the first day, there are no available parking spaces.

That the dorm I live in is located 1.25 miles away from the dining hall.

I wish I would have known how many different organizations that I could've have involved myself in beforehand. Wichita State University offers many organizations that any student can get involved in. There are just so many that a student can pick from and many that I didn't know or have ever heard of.

I wish that more of the classes that I needed could be online. I have to commute back and forth (three hours total tuesday and thursday's) and with my two girls, I have to pay daycare and other expenses, which gets really expensive. If I would have known that a lot of my classes were not able to be done online, I would have tried to found another college that supplies my demand, but overall I love WSU! Go Shocks!

To have a previous job that could have been transferred to Wichita and have some money saved up.

I wish I would have understood the idea of a commuter campus. Few people live in campus, and it is sometimes difficult to get to know others.

I wish I had known more about the Greek organizations at Wichita State. I had always had the stereotype that people in Greek organizations just partied all the time, and did not focus on academics. However, soon after arriving at Wichita State, I learned otherwise. While it may be true that some Greek organizations live up to the stereotype, the Phi Delta Theta Kansas Delta chapter at Wichita State does not. That is why I am joinin this great organization. We put academics above everything. We also take very seriously community service and involvement, brotherhood, and moral rectitude.

I wish that I had known to study more basic classes, such as chemistry, biology, and algebra. I also wish I had known more about financial aid that headaches that come with the puzzle you have to go through to get all the paperwork filled out. I also would have liked to know more about how the professors react to students.

I wish I knew that freshmen being accepted with a pre-nursing major have an atomatic acceptance into the nursing school. Transfer students have to apply and the compitition is rough.
