Winthrop University Top Questions

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

Rodney

There is nothing I wish I had known before coming to the school.

Brittany

It was the most expensice public school in South Carolina.

Meghan

I believe that I knew everything that I needed to know. I live in the town the university is in, and I had researched the school throughly.

Sarah

I wish I had known that I would run into many overzealous Baptists and a few creationists. If I had known that I would have kept my mouth shut about my own religion in order to save time and prevent awkward conversation with ignorant, intolerant people. This school is filled with many classic southerners. Not the most Yankee friendly place, but still warm and fun most of the time. I also wish I had known that I didn't need to work as hard as I was working and that it was okay to miss a class or two.

Katherine

I wish I had known all the things involved in taking and doing to get my degree. It wasn't explained well to me by anyone. New things I need to do pop up each year.

Amy

Stay on weekends and do things

Crystal

I knew pretty much what I needed to know.
