As a small university, UNA has a wonderful staffs and professors. I'm from Vietnam and I was struggling by language, culture and educational system. I was so scared that professors will be bossy but no, all professors here were willing to help me one way or another. They don't mind if they have to sit with me for hour and explain something over and over and. To me, it seems like they treat me as a friend, a daugter, and grandaugter. I feel I'm a part of it and I'm welcomed here.

I wish that I had known that I would end up attending this school in the end. If I had, I might have simply gone here first.

Janae

Nothing, I knew everything about this university before I came here.

How to apply for scholarships.

DeBora

Just in general for any college, I feel the financial aid needs to improve. It is very complicated for any student to obtain the amount he/she needs for college life.

Erin

I wish I had known about all of the wonderful opportunities there are at this campus. There are sports, extracurricular activities, clubs, and other things such as campus tours, plays, shows, fraternities and sororites. This school really has an awesome array of things to get involved in. That is really what I love about UNA.

Heather

I wish I would have known more about how to aquire my credits. Like how it takes 40 hours to finish up being a freshmen. It would have made things alot easier if I would have had someone to tell me everything that I needed to do , example someone to advise me on my financial aid and to just give me advice on classes and professors.
