Colorado State University-Fort Collins Top Questions

I really wished i had, had a better idea of what i wanted to study. I really didn't know what i wanted to do after graduation so it took me a little while to decide what really interested me. If i had, had a little more guidance as a senior in high school i think it would have helped a lot.

I wish I would have had more knowledge of what I wanted to do. I am currently undeclared, and although I am getting alot of help, I wish I knew what direction I wanted to go in.

I wish I had known some people, but its ok because I've met a lot and have loved every minute!

dry campus. Its a good thing just would have been nice to know.

I wish I had known how financial aid can be a difficult thing to attain depending on your socioeconomic status and other critiques. Another thing would be how many credits it would take to attain my degree in terms of both the types of classes and years in college. Finally, I wish I had known how friendly and open the students and staff at this school were and how they are truly life savers when it comes to my higher education.

That they are so career minded and strict.

First, I wish that I had known how the big class sizes would be on a reserved, shy, hands on student like myself. I wish I had known that on such a big campus, my advisor would never know my name and subsequently would never really care about my educational success. I wish I would have known that tuition would increase over thirty percent in the course of three years on that I would qualify for latterly no aid but a loan and that the financial aid office would take no incentive to help understand you situation.

How expensive the cost of living was.

Coming from a high school class of 39 students I wish I would have known my first class at CSU would be over 400 students. That class size took a little while to get used to, but it became easier as I advanced out of the general education classes and into more specific ones with much smaller class sizes.

How to study for college courses; it was totally different than high school courses. Also, how to cook my own food.

The difference between a B+ and an A on your GPA.

Get involved in extra-curricular ASAP. and my preferred major of study.

Nothing I found my self pretty well off.

That the tests pretty much determine your grade in the class.

If they had they had the majors and the sport clubs/ varsity sports that would interest me in trying out for the teams and pursuing a degree in those majors

I wish I had known to take all the easy classes first, and the hard ones later

I wish I had known there wasn't any digital media programs at my school to pursue my hobby. But the program for my major was totally worth the trade off.

Students need to study 2-3 hours for every hour of class time!

Before I came to this school, I took advantage of every opportunity I had to learn about the procedures and available services. I was very knowledgable about the campus before I came.

Before coming to this school, I wish I would have known more about financial aid. I would much rather have more debt in student loans than credit cards...which is how my situation is shaping up right now (more credit card debt, hardly any student loan debt).

I wish I had known how great the skiing was before I came.

I wish I would have known to join more organizations right away. As a transfer student, that would have been a great way to integrate into the community more quickly.

I wish I had known more about the clubs and orgs. available.

I really wish that i would have known more about what major i was interested in. It makes life a lot easier when you generally know what field you want to study coming into the college experience. That way you don't waste any time with classes that aren't necessary.

I wish I had known how easy it is to make friends if you just put yourself out there, and how much people do want to help you. I would have kept my door open more in the residence halls, and gone to more events.

wish that i knew how amazing old town and the atmosphere was. you have to visit. i transferred and wish i found it 2 1/2 years earlier

I wish I would have known how accepting the students and staff are at CSU.

It is the complete opposite from that and I am incredibly happy to be surrounded by such great people!

Nothing, I was a transfer student, so I knew what I was getting myself into
