Bethune-Cookman University Top Questions

Make sure that you visit as many schools in person as you can. Think about if the size of the school is for you.

Make sure you choose the right school for YOU not for anyone else. Your freshman year be aware of what you eat, you do not want to gain those infamous "freshman fifteen". Choose the right crowd to hang with. YOU ARE GUILTY BY ASSOCIATION. Attend class regularly, most of the people that you start school with will not finish with you when you graduate. Most of all have fun. Join an organization or greek life. You will make life-long connections and friends. Always remember though that it is the beginning of the rest of your life.

The best adivce I can give to someone about choosing the right school for them is making sure that is the major they're shooting for and do reseach on the major, find out the tutition, and visiting the school.

Parents that are concerned about the school their student is going to be attending should research all schools that interest the student with their child and make sure that the school they choose is in the best interest of the student. A parent forcing a child to go to a certain school limits their educational abilities. Always make sure the school has majors that you are interested in studying and per suing after college. I also would suggest narrowing your options down 3 to 5 prospective schools and take a college road trip and visit them before making a definite decision, you never want the first time you see a school you choose to be at registration because you might be disappointed. Always make sure that you are going to be satisfied with the facilities beforehand. If parents and future college students take these steps, they should have no problem choosing a school that?s right for them.

In order to truly get a genuine college experience, the student must be allowed to attend the college of their choice.

Make sure they have your Major. Talk to some of the students already attending. Go on the tour of the college. Make sure you can afford it, or you are willing to take out loans to pay for it. Make sure they have any organizations you would like to join. Look at the social life and make sure its compatibale with your personallity.

For the students, I would advise them to apply to all of the schools that they may want to attend or even thought about attending. By doing this, the student will have plenty of options to choose from rather than having to rely on one particular school. I advise the students to thoroughly research the different schools to see what degrees, extra curriculum activities, class sizes and programs that are offered. If a parent feels that his or her daughter may not be able to handle the work load in college, then I would advise the parent to start the student off at a community college to see if the student is capable of keeping up with the work being done at a community college.If the student shows great progess, then sending him or her to a university would be a good choice.College should be one of the best times of your life. Get involved in different campus organizations. This is how you make new friends. Learn all that you can learn, but at the same time enjoy your college life. Make the most of your college experience. Study hard. Party some & get involved!!

Students should know what type of school they want to attend such as a private, vocational, or public school, etc. I would also strongly suggest that the students as well as the parent/guardian go on a tour of the school(s) of their choice. The parent should know about the school and its surroundings but most important, the parent and student must understand the financial aid process and how the can receive scholarships and grants versus applying for loans. In making the most of the student's college experience, it would be helpful if the student gets involved in some kind of campus organization or activity. It may seem difficult at first but as the student gets more accomodated to meeting new people, college life won't seem as overwhelming.

In order to truly get the most out of your college experience, be sure to attend a university of your choice. By making the decision without influence from any outside factors, you will enjoy college because it will be based off of your own intent.

Have your kids to start thinking about college there first year in high school. One can never start too early when it comes to college. Have them to start looking for scholarship money for college. In researching, colleges first find out what you want to do in your life. Then find a college that has your major.

What I would suggest is to enter knowing your goals and don't let the unneccessary distract you.

Follow your heart. don't go somewhere just because someone else think you should because then you might end up somewhere you really don't want to be wasting money that you could be applying yourself with. education is everything and you should ve somewhere you know you're going to be proud enough to say "that's my school, or i went there."

Be prepared to be home sick and get accustomed to a new living style. College is a very fun experience and can make or break you. Books come before partying and extra activities that go on so always study and expect weekeneds where you can't go out because you may have a paper due. Have fun and stay focused!

I would say to students saty on campus to get the full exsperince and work hard for what you want . Dont grow up too fast.

Go and visit it. Talk to someone who is attenedinit and get their feedback on it.

I would have to say make sure you have all the factual data on your future college. Because if you don't you will be left to go to a school where you will just end up settling , which is not good to do all the time. Since its your life and future career that you are going there for , so make sure its your final thought in consideration . Not to mention being at a local college isn't so bad in most situations, but it does currupt you goals to taking your eye off the prizes.

Be resources and take college campus tours to help make the right decision

When choosing a college, consider your interest, such as the type of enviroment you would like to live in , if the school caters to your major and provides you with great resources, also consider visiting the school before enrolling, when you visit the school check out the living conditions, food, and how helpful the faculty and staff is.

In finding the right school, make sure you do your research so that you know exactly what you're getting into from the beginning. Always visit college campuses before attending any school. Always check the reputation and the surroundings around the school so that you and your family will know that their college student will be safe at all times.

Make sure you choose a college that is accomadating to you as well as your major so you don't waste precious time, effort and money.
