Wichita State University Top Questions

I wish I had known how difficult it would be to get a tutor, and work with the TRIO disability program. I am autistic, and I have had issues obtaining a tutor. I'm six weeks into my algebra class, and even though I have called repeatedly to the TRIO office and have set up times with tutors, something has happened to cause it to fall through. Just make sure you make it clear what you want in the beginning, to be delegient about getting the help you need!

Ratio of student to a professor

I wish I had known college was going to be so expensive, that way I could have saved more money. I knew it was going to be expensive but I did not account for all the fees that are added on to the classes' tuition and how expensive the books are, which for some classes we would need to buy three different books.

Before I came to this school, I wish I had known the incredible inspiration and assistance I would receive from my professors. Upon entering the college, I had great anxiety about whether or not I would make the cut in my department. In the last year I have not only gained so much knowledge about education, development, and methods; but, I have also improved my organizational and writing skills, taken up new interests, and gained so much confidence in my ability to provide students with a superior elementary education. I attribute this personal growth all to my wonderful professors.

I wish i had known how tough it can be to adjust to college life. Teachers are less personal, and as a student you must be driven to complete your homework on time and to study for tests without being reminded. It's your responsibility to succeed in college, not the teachers responsibility anymore.

I wish I had know the difficulty about the difficultly for international students to manage their fee. I wish I had more knowledge about the scholarships for the international students and how we can apply for them.

I wish I knew more about scholarship oppurtunities. It would have helped me out a lot fiancially when I began to attend Wichita State University. In my senior year of high school, I was never notified about any scholarship oppurtunities. Since I am the first child in my family to attend college, my parents and I had no idea what to do when enrolling for college. If we knew more about scholarships, it would have saved us a decent amount of money to better sustain our family.

I wish I had Known that they offer great internships with leading aircraft companies such as cessna, boeing and airbus which are in close relation to the school. I wish I knew this because the school I was in before had no affiliations to this companies and was more expensive yet offering less possibilities

I wish I had known how much easier college would be if I didn't fall behind at all.

That everything comes fast so take notes or tell your instructor to slow down. Also take part in scholarships early.

you dont have to get drunk to have a good time

I wish that I would have known that college professors are not like high school teachers. Some college professors don't care about your grade as much as others. But overall I feel pretty comfortable at Wichita State.

I wish I would have known better study habits. After attending an easier Jr. college, I wasn't ready for the more in depth studies a 4 year school required.

I wish i had known more about scholarships to come to Wichita State. Also, i wish i had got to experience campus life before i lived on campus. I think a lot of other people would choose to live on campus if they experienced it first.

I wish that before I came to WSU I'd have know how important my ACT scores were. This applies to any college, I could have gotten more scholarips had I known. I worked hard to get a good GPA, but I did't know how important ACT and SAT scores were to recieving scholarships.

I wish I would have known that the finances get tighter than you think they do during college. I would have planned better financially, worked more and saved more before attending college.

Before I came to Wichita State University, I had the image of college being very much like High School, which was definitely wrong. It is very different than where I went, because I never had to study in high school. Study, study, study.

I wish I would have known about the poor parking. It can take several minutes and several parking lots to find a spot to park. Even after you find one, you could end up being up to a mile away from your building. Also, the grading scale varies from class to class so it can be frustrating trying to figure out the grading scale for a particular course.

I wish I had known more people at the school.

The university is so engineering focused that all general ed studies resemble engeneering courses. The college algebra classes incompass a large portion of engineering type skills.
