University of Toledo Top Questions

I wish I have known that I could do online classes and when the cutoff for admission for each semester.

I wish I had know how much I would like it here. I was originally not even considering UT but now that I have been here for almost a full year, I would not change a thing and do not want to be any where else.

That the Arts and Science program was going through changes and were not very helpful to students to keep them on their career track or to help them figure out what classes to take. I've had teachers appologize to me about how poor my college is right now for my degree, something I never expected to hear from a professor.

i dont really know what i should have known or want to have known but i do wish i would have brought a bike with me to travel across campus.

I wish had known how to manage my study time a little better. In high school, I was fortunate enough to not have to study that much. When I got to college though, it was a different story! I found it hard to balance some things at first, but I eventually buckled down and got it.

I wish I would have known that their Honors program with the psychology department was not worth all the work and tears put in. I wish I would have known that most psychology majors do not get accepted right away into graduate school and usually take jobs unrelated to their degree after graduating.

I wish I had known just how long it actually takes to earn a Bachelors degree. It felt like it took forever.

Before coming to this school I wish I had known how important it was to be close with your professor. Your professor can really help you with your work and even give you credit when they see that you are working hard.

Pick smaller classes based on good teachers. Larger lecture classes do not appeal to me or my learning methods. The teacher does not know who I am and it is a hard way to interact and voice your opinions.

I wish I knew what the administration was like. The admins at UT are not very accessible and I feel that they don't care what the students think or feel.

THAT I HAD TO STUDY REAL HARD

One thing I wish I knew before I came to Toledo was to check my professors before I signed up, and to study better (I know how now). I also wish I knew more about the living arrangements before I moved in, just to be more prepared and what to expect. I went into college expecting anything since I was basically clueless.

Before I came to this school I wish I knew that I wasn't geting the scholarship they promise. I was suppose to get a scholarship that covered my tution and general fees. I had the g.p.a required but I didnt have a pell grant. I ended up having to sit out of school this semster for financial reasons. I stayed on campus first semster only because I thought I had a scholarship, but I was told I wasn't geting the scholarship after I moved on campus.

Before I attended the University of Toledo I wish I would have known that coming from high school to college is a major transition and while in high school you should really sit and think about if this is a transition you are ready to make. When in college you are on your own so, no one is there to tell you to wake up or go to class you have to be willing to push yourself to those kind of things on your own. Lastly, surround yourself with people who are willing to help you, you will need it.

I wish I would have know how not to stress out over the little things. I had to learn fast things will happen and I just have to learn how to deal with it.

There is not much I wish I had known. People came to my school that attended the University of Toledo, and my family members attended the University of Toledo. So, I kind of got a feel of college life, I just needed to attend college to really grasp what I had been told.

Within my major, many classes are make it or break it. Many students will no do well in my classes because they are not willing to devote the time and energy necessary to succeed in such a competitive major.

Nothing

I wish I would have known how bad the parking was, I would have rethought bringing my car.

That some on-line classes require you to take exams on campus.

The crime rate is high not only on campus but surrounding campus. Many of the professors are extremely hard to understand either because they are foreign or are not good instructors.

I wish I had known about all the walking I have had to do to get to some of my classes. Also, I wish I would have known about the parking problems before I bought the parking permit that I bought!

The activities and groups available to students, and how to get the most out of your college experience. I know a lot of others were able to join group after group and get involved, but somehow I feel I missed out on that boat, and subsequently look back more fondly on my high school social experience than my college days. I think if I had gone in with more of a knowledge of these people meet at this time and this is what they do, I would have gotten more involved.

How unpredictable the weather is on a day to day basis.

I wish that i would have had a better idea of what i wanted to do with my life. That i had poor study habits, and i needed to be more focused.

That there was not alot of school spirit at athletic sporting events.

I wish I would have known about how dangerous the University's surrounding area is. Also, I wish I would have learned some better study habits.

I wish I had been a little more culturally diverse. This school has a lot of cultures/races that I was not personally used to at home. But I have found that most of the time everyone gets along ok as long as boundaries are respected.

That I wasn't going to want to be 2 hours away from home and that i should consider a closer college.

Be ready to experiance the big city and small town America all in one place. The city is east and cornfields are less than 5 minutes to the west.

I wish I would have known that the weekends here are dead.

That it would be colder than what I thought. Also that it would be harder to not have a car on campus while I was living in the dorms because the dining hall food would get old quickly. Be sure to bring lots of snacks and such.
