Top 09 Regrets Of College Students
Eden Ugaddan
College can be the best years of a person's life. These are the years when one can gain the best friends and make life long decisions. If you ask any college student, they can tell you some of their best experiences about college life, but they can also tell about the regrets of college life. Most people failed to make their college experience one of the best because they are unable to achieve what they actually think of. Following is the list of some most common regret one can hear from college students .

1. Wrong major

The first and utmost common regret is choosing the wrong major. The leading reason people regret the decision they made years back is either because they failed to get a suitable job in their required field or they have lost interest in it.

2. Failing to use what the campus has to offer

Majority of the students regrets not making use of the campus facilities they had. College campuses provide different facilities like libraries, gymnasiums, clubs, etc. Students are either busy in their studies or in other activities and often do not make full use of what the campus has to offer.

3. Being Single and/or in a Relationship

A great deal of college students regret the relationships they had in college. A large amount of people who were in a serious relationship regret being in a relationship early, while those who missed out because of studies regret that they were deprived of the charm of keeping a relationship in their college days.

4.Traveled less

College students, mostly travel with friends on semester breaks, an ample amount regrets not being able to travel more; completely missing out the spring breaks or study abroad opportunities.

5. Regret studying less


A large number of college students who failed to score well in college regret their grades. They believe that if they would have studied harder they might have scored better.

6. Only Making few friends

Some college students regret socializing less and barely mingling. Some tend to stick on their own cliques and are afraid or uncomfortable to meet new people. Some regret attending only a few school related activities like Homecoming and missing out school spirit.

7. Being Clueless about Student Loans

Citizens Bank for one has found out that 77 percent of the students regret they haven’t managed their student loans as well.

8. Overconfidence

Plenty of college students failed to seek advice because they felt that they know everything well, so they see little need to seek for or want an advice from anyone. However, afterwards they regret their over-confident attitude and wished that someone could have guided them through.

9. None/few working expereince

College students do not realize how important it is to get work experience during college. At the time they ignored this fact, just to enjoy their time with friends and regret it afterwards.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
