Ohio State University-Main Campus Top Questions

That all of the opportunities can be overwhelming. Stay focused, know what you are looking for, and go for it.

I wish someone would have told me how hard it is to be on your own. All the bills you have to pay with little to no help.

That I couldn't really affort it

Nothing, I knew what it was going to be like.

I wish I knew that you can't breeze through college like you can high school.

That class moves very fast and that one could fall behind very easily. People have to remember why they came to school and that is to get an education. We can make friends later a lot easier than we can get an education later.

Before I came to this school, I wish that I knew exactly what I wanted to do with my career. There were so many options and classes available that had I had known, I would've been able to better craft a curriculum that was tailored to my own personal needs.

Since Im majoring in Elementary Education I wish I knew that OSU did not offer certification after achieving your Bachelors Degree. I believe the main purpose in doing this is so that a higher education standard is set for students shooting them for their Master's Degree. While I agree getting your Master's is very beneficial in the state of Ohio and in academic success, I wish there was a better option. Some students never plan to get their Master's degree or do not have the funds to continue another year. Many teachers want to start with experience!

Practicing your instrument daily is a MUST.

How to get around.

Just a little bit more about other opportunities that may have been out there for me. I did rather well in high school and probably could have gotten into a really good school. Considering costs (and with the advantage of hindsight) I'm pretty sure I would have made the same decision, though.

I wish I had known that when you go to college you are on your own. Now one cares if you are sick, except for your family and close friends. You always have to watch your back from other people and look out for yourself. At the end of the day, you and your family are the only ones you have so do not give people the power to control you. People will stab you in the back to try to do better than you.

that advisors don't care AT ALL. that to get anything out of the ordinary done it will take an act of god (or at the least hours upon hours of your time and efforts)
