Where to start... as a double major in English and Information Technology (IT), there is definitely a lot to learn. I really don't know how to explain how much I've learned in my classes. I've loved them all. Subjects range from science to sociology to English to arts administration... there are so many classes to pick from that it seems a little intimidating at first. Take classes in several different areas to see where you feel the most comfortable. God luck!
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I love it here! It was the perfect choice. Classes are not to big and not to small. My largest class this semester is of 70 students, but it doesn't feel that large at all.
Once you find a club, sport or organization that you like you'll make friends fairly easily. All my friends are part of our new Science Fiction and Fantasy club. Branch out and meet others!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
There is so much to learn, you might not know where to start. Talk to your adviser about classes, and talk with your friends about professors they've had and classes they've taken. Also, if you find out what books you need for classes, see if you can by them online, bring them from home, or borrow them from friends, family or your local library. The prices at the bookstore can be higher than you expect.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
1. Get to know your professors and classmates as soon as you can. The more comfortable you feel with them, the eaasier it will be asking for help.
2. Try your best in figuring out what the professors want from you. When you do that your classes become a bit easier.
3. Bring rain boots. Trust me, you'll need them.
4. Many of the first year dormitories don't have overhead lighting, so double check if you need to buy lights.
5. The walls are thin, so monitor your noise level in the dormitories .
6. Explore the library. It has so amazing hidden study areas.
7. Apply for work-study jobs early, as early as the summer before.
