Wichita State University Top Questions

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

Erin

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!

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.

Phillip

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.

Ted

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

Micah

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

Melvin

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