you dont have to get drunk to have a good time

Katie

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.

Gregory

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.

Kurtis

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.

Alex

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.

Luther

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.

Ryan

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.

Natalie

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.

Rachel

I wish I had known more people at the school.

Jean-Marie

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.
