Barry University Top Questions

As seniors in high school, many students stay close to home to avoid financial problems and becoming homesick. If I could go back in time, I'd follow the footsteps of my classmates and go to a University closer to home. I'd also be sure to use my time wisely and apply for as many scholarships as possible to help my college education to be more affordable. I'd also give myself the advice to stay focused on school work, because college work is a lot harder and more serious than high school. I'd also be sure to attend counseling services for choosing the right major to make sure that I was really interested in my intended major. I'd be sure to warm myself that college is the most serious part of my life and once the opportunity is gone, it may not come back.

I would tell the parents and the students to search for schools that has the students desire student -teacher ratio meaning if they prefer being in small classes, then they need to look for schools that have a small to medium size population. Secondly, they should go to on the campus tour of the school they are interesting in. By going on the tour they will get more then learning about the different buildings and the services that are provided to the students; however the parents and students can take the time to the chairperson of the students desire major. That way the parents and the students can learn about the services that the department provide to their students, as well as to talk with the students in the program about their perspective of the program. The second advice I would give the students is to take advantage of the services at their school and join clubs that suite their interests. In addition, they need to take the time to learn about arrange services their school provide for them to go to the beach, amusement park, shopping centers, and any location near or far from their schools.

Visit campus to see what school fits you, ask million and one questions about the campus and once you decide and choice a school for you make friends it makes the experience worth while. education is the key to the future no matter how old you are there is a school that is made just for you!!!!

Parents should give advice to their kids about making the right college decision. I went through that experience and I could say that I was somewhat scared about entering a new stage in my life. A parent's support is the best comfort for students beginning college. It is best to make college visits, and then when it comes time to make a decision, pick the best college that suits the student's liking. The student should be able to feel comfortable and secure in a new type of setting. To make most of the college experience a student should come prepared into a new college to succeed and leave a mark on campus, so that student can be remembered when they leave. That is why is it best to get involved in clubs and activities and in the campus community. But it is important to never ignore your daily duties and to never forget why you are attending college.

I would say to researcha nd find out everything about the school that you can. Be sure to visit the school and get to be familiar with your surroundings so that when you are on your own you can know where to get your neccesities. Be sure to find out if the school can provide you with what it is that you are looking for within a safe environment and a worthy school.

The most important advice I can ever give about finding the right school is to go and ask questions. Do research and make sure it is the one where you feel comfortable in. An educated choice is the best choice that can ever be made. When I visted Barry University I feel in love wth the hospotality of all the faculty and staff and in an instant I knew this is where I belonge. Many people frownded upon me for having choosen such a small private school that tends to be a bit more pricey then the neighboring community colleges of Miami but my response to that is, you just can not but a price on your education.

visit the school first

I lived on-campus for the four years I attended Barry University. From my experience, I advice parents and students to visit the college, research the area, and learn about the accreditation of the university and the school of interest attending. These are key factors to know before selecting a college to attend because many schools are not accredited, even though the university has an accreditation. This can cause problems in the long-run because graduate schools require the undergraduate school to have a specific accreditation. Additionally, the best advice I can give anyone is to live on-campus. Campus life gives students the overall college experience because they have all the resources they need to succeed in school. For instance, students who live on campus attend the labs, where tutors assist students with their homework. Also, I noticed that students who participate in extracurricular activities are those who reside in the dorms. Furthermore, students are able to meet their classmates and make friends forever, since they spend more time together: in the cafeteria, library, study groups, etc. Moreover, residing in the dorms allows students to become independent and grow personally and professionally.

Make sure that your child feels comfortable in the environment that the campus is located in. Remember that they need to feel like they are at home and that it is a friendly environment.

Find the school with the field of study you enjoy most and not one you choose because you feel the need or pressure to go to college. Choosing a school for the wrong reasons will cause you not to get the most out of your enducation and social life. When picking the college you wish to apply to pick the one you feel most comfortable in and would feel at home.

If your student is looking for a good pre-med program Barry University is a amazing school. That also goes for if you are looking for a small program where you can expand. Our Psychology Masters program is one of the best in the country. Though other then that you really need to look into your program to see if it suits your student. Barry is a great academic school but campus wise it has a way to go if you are looking for a lot of things to do on your campus Barry might not be a great place to go. Just make sure to take a tour of the school and talk with the students and you will get a pretty acurate desciption of what it is like to be a Barry student.

Make sure that the student has an idea of what is expected of them in school. Make sure that they are not lead on false pretenses that school is so hard and scary that if they don't constantly work hard they will never get anywhere in life. Students must know how to be responsible and know that their life is in their hands when they get to school.

the best way to research about a school is by consulting with students or people that graduate from it

Finding the right college is not an easy task. In order to make the best decision possible for yourself or your children, you must first ask yourself,or them, a few basic questions. First I would ask,"what kind of degree are you seeking?", this will narrow schools down depending on how good they are in directing you to the best path for your future. For example, I applied to many schools and got into about 70{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of them, but in the end I chose Barry University because its business program is very honorable compared to the other choices, and i am a business major. Next, I would ask, " Are you more of a social person, or an independant person?" This will help dramatically narrow choices because a lot of big, social schools especially ones that have prominent greek life tend to outcast students who are not as active on campus as they are. Barry university has greek life, but a majority of the students are just average students. If your a social outgoing person, a bigger school may be better, If not , then a smaller school. In the end figuring out what kind of person you are will help.

It is very important to visit your school choices, talk to current students who will give you unbiased information about the school you have in mind. It is important to meet potential advisors and take a look at what the curribulum will be for your major, as they may differ school to school. The location and diversity of the campus will be important, since most students do not want to be far from home. The student should network to meet people that will start at the various school(s) around the same time, so that the transition will be easier. Also, making the most out of the resources available to you at the school of your choice will make this exciting time continue to remain that way.

This one goes out to the parents, in order for your child to succeed in finding the right college they will need your support in whatever they decide on doing.

when deciding what college to choose i t hink it is really important to have in mind the majors and careers they offer. how long to complete it, the credits, courses and the degree you would obtain after you are done with the programs. research the academic credentials, any internship opportunities, and specializations. also it is really important the location. if you do not like cold weather then you should probably attend a college in warm cities or where it does not snow. in addition, if you want to stay close to your family and friends then go to a college not to far away from your family and know if they offer on- campus housing. Also, class size, do some research about the average calss size of the college. if you are like me I prefer classes with no more than 30 students. in addition, know if the college you plan to attend have any financial aid, scholarship, grants, or work- study. if you play any sport find out if they give scholarships and grants for playing sports. finally visit the college this way you can decide if you like it or not and obtain more information.

Go with somewhere you will feel comfortable.

The right college isnt always the best college. Find out more about your kids and what there interests are so you can pick the right school and not force the wrong school.

I really think that the best advide in your first year of your studies is to find a balence. Balence between academics, activities, and a social life will really help you get the most out of your expirence. In picking which school is right for every individual the best thing to do is the expirence the campus. Sit in on a lecture, look through all the courses, talk to current students and most important walk around the campus and see if it feels right. Listen to your gut, and you will know what school is right for you. However, the worse thing you could do is pick a school based around other people's wants, needs, and opinions.
