UW-Green Bay Admissions | Parents

...Things That Parents Wished They Knew When Their Son or Daughter Started at UW-Green Bay
1.	The anticipation of separation was worse than the actual event..."I needed to remember just how adaptable my child is!"
2.	"That I would channel my nervous energy about her being away into housework. My spring cleaning was done in September!"
3.	How much time actually needs to go into studying. Grades DO SUFFER when not enough time is spent!
4.	More about the work-study program, "We missed an opportunity to take advantage of it."
5.	That the hours for food service are different on the weekends. They may want breakfast food like cereal with them, even on that first weekend!

...Things That Students Brought to School That First Year Which Should Have Been Left at Home
1.	TOO MANY CLOTHES!
2.	"Every pair of shoes she owned!"
3.	The "for emergencies only" credit card.
4.	The wrong size sheets for the Residence Hall beds.
5.	Storage bins that did not fit into the closet

...Things That Students Should Have Brought to School With Them, But Didn't
1.	A "jumbo" pack of toilet paper!
2.	Health insurance information and number.
3.	Cleaning supplies for the shower, sink, & toilet that are "easy to use for guys"
4.	Room organizers or storage bins that fit in the room
5.	A list of over-the-counter medicines and first aid items that they have used at home
