Auburn University Top Questions

I attended Auburn University because I am a legacy here and have always loved and respected Auburn. Even though it seemed like what I had dreamed of my whole life I realize after actually experiencing it that it may not be the right school for me. I am not saying that it is not an awsome school because it is, but students and parents should not base their choice just on a dream. Students should believe that they are going to feel at home and get exactly what they want out of college from the school they choose. Even though Auburn has a huge selection of majors, I don't think they have exactly what I am looking for and I should have considered that more before I chose to go here also.

Go to the place that will help you become the person you want to be. Don't choose a college for your parents, your siblings, your friends, or your romantic partner. Choose a place that feels like home to you and you definitely need to visit the college you're interested in.

Find someone that already attends the college already to see what things are like and to help the student along. Make sure it is where the student wants to go to school. And take a deep breath and enjoy the ride. There are many ups and downs along the way, but in the end it will make everybody involved a better person.

Go to the college where you know a lot of people.

Visit the campus and make sure they teach your interests.

Students should listen to the advice of parents, friends, and counselors but ultimately make their own decisions. They should not allow someone else to make one of the most important choices of their lives for them. They are the one who will be living and studying at that school for four years. Students should take a tour or at least go see their top choices to make sure that they like the atmosphere and the surrounding area. Most students do not realize that it is not just the campus that is important but the city it is in. To make the most of the overall college experience, students should explore areas off campus. This includes volunteering on and off campus to help the local residents and current/ future students. Students should take pride in their school and help to maintain a certain decorum. Get involved! Studying is not the only thing to do on a college campus, but everyone should remember that moderation is very important.

I would say make sure they have majors that you are interested in so you can make the right decision. Parents need to understand that there opinion does count but that they aren't the ones attending the college or the classes so allow there children to grow and make their own decisions. Make sure that the resources that you believe you need to succeed are available and that you can afford the school you select so money won't be another issue you have to deal with. Whatever a school offers where you think you can excel is a good school. You're going for an education so if you know that there are way to many distractions way your options and see if there maybe a better alternative. Most of all make sure you are complete confident with yourself and your decision so you can be happy at the school you choose.

Research degree options, and try to decide on a career you want to stick with. Once you have done this, research colleges that best suit this degree. Talk with the staff and other students currently on campus. Also, never take home for granted, nothing will ever replace it!

Look for a school that fits the definition of what you want to experience at college. If you want to party at school, go to a university that is known for partying, if you want to push yourself academically, go to a school that is known for its academic rigor. Pick what attribute is most important to you and find the school that best matches what you want. If you choose a school that does not match your idea of what college should be you will find yourself feeling isolated and disconnected from the other students. College is not the same as how your parents describe it. It is a societal norm today and expected of many high schoolers to attend and because of this, there are a number of students who either do not want to be there, or should not be there. To best enjoy the college experience find people that have similar goals as you (not necessarily the same field, more along the lines of, I want to get a good job, rather than, I want to get a good lay) and enjoy the time you spend together.

Be ready for an amzing and beautiful experience, but be prepared to work hard and often. Dont let partying hinder your schooling but at the same time dont be afraid to let school work hinder your socializing epecially when it comes to meeting the right person! Know that you make your grades they are enred not given and hard work is the only way to obtain a resonble GPA. Here at Auburn you will believe in it and Grow to love it if you dont the moment you step foot on her campus!
