Alma College Top Questions

Live your college life the way you want to. Don't get caught up in the hype of always being a bookworm. Go out, meet new people, experience new things, and have a great time. There will always be time for work. Find the place that suites you the best and a place that you can say years from now "I attended that college, and it was one of the best experiences of my life. I owe alot to my college career!" You only have one life, don't let it get put in to the back pages of a textbook.

Parents: Do not pressure your student regardless of temptation. Every parent wants their child to attend their alma mater, but it is important for each student to find that place that is going to change their life. It is also very important for parents to find that middle ground of still caring about your kid but letting go at the same time. Especially during the first year of college, a student needs space to find out who they are going to be. Many students re-make themselves during college and figure out what they really want out of life; let them do that. Students: First, when choosing a college, find the place that is going to change your life. Then take advantage of every opportunity you can. Get involved in every activity that seems interesting, do all kinds of service work, and if the school allows chances to travel, do it. College is the time to explore the world and find out what you want to do with your life. There is no other time in life like it and there are opportunities around every corner.
