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

Justin

I wish that I had known just how often that I needed to check my class's website for assignments and quizzes. I missed a couple quizes during my first semester due to not checking it regularly.

Ashley

Nothing..I already knew everything by researching

Shannon

I can honestly say I wish i would have learned more in regards to how to study properly. Its evident to me that i didnt really know how to study properly coming into college and since ive been here i can say that effective study habits have been somewhat of a struggle for me.

Joseph

More about the online programs!

Brittany

I wish I had known that Austin Peay was so family oriented. Everyone is a person wiith value. People are not just numbers at Austin Peay State University. If I would have known this then I would have came to Austin Peay sooner.

Brandy

I wish I would have realized that college was not going to just be an easy breeze. College is not just a fun game individuals choose to play. College is hard and challenging. However, even though college challenges you to do your very best there are many opportunities to become involved on campus. By becoming involved you are connected with a wide range of friends who are always right by your side when you need them. College is a lot of fun but it can be very challenging from time to time.

Amaryllis

I wish that i would have known that the professors gave out alot of homework and that i needed to improve my study habits. Also, i wish that i knew how to write a paper that was on a college level.

Daniel

I wish i had known how to use the websit "rate my professor" so i would have been abl to select the best teachers for me. I like teachers who physically do things not just stand up front monotoned and boring just talking. Also if I would have known the campus buildings location's and names a little bit more then i would have been more confident on where i was going to.

Whitney

Before I came to college, I wish I had known the following things: 1. Don't procastinate. 2. Don't go crazy the first semester away from home, your GPA will not like you if you party all the time. 3. Get involved the day you get to campus, it makes the college experience that much more rewarding.

Megan

It is a backpack college; meaning, it can sometimes be a little deserted on the weekends.

Sonia

How hard it would be to register and get through with everything.

Hannah

that i had to claim my parents on my financial aid application until i'm 24. this disqualifies me for everything when i have to pay by myself.

Danielle

I knew a lot about this Unversity because my older brother had went here as well. I wish I had known how important campus involvement was my freshman year. Everyone puts emphasis on grades and academics in HS, but you must also be an active member and show leadership abilities to become successful and build a good resume.

JaQueya

Be sure to continue checking with financial aid throughout the summer to make sure they don't lose your information. They lost mine and it pretty much messed everything else up (classes, housing, etc.)

Amy

That the financial aid office sucks. they spin you around and around to different places and never answer your questions directly. they make it so difficult.

Kimberly

I wish I had known that living on campus makes it easier to get involved and fit in.

mary

No wish to change anything at this time.

Tangelia

I really like Austin Peay State University and the programs and activities it offers. I have always been very pleased with the education that I have recieved, and feel as though the department of education is doing a wonderful job to give me the skills I need to be an effective teacher. There is really nothing that I did not know about the campus before coming, due to the fact that I researched the campus throughly before registering and coming to APSU.
