Wichita State University Top Questions

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

Alesa

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.

Chloe

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.

Brandon

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.

Cassie

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

Michael

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.

Susan

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

Lindsey

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.

Nicole

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

Michael

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

Phuong

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.
