Caldwell University Top Questions

I would tell myself to become more organized, always read the textbook, and don't be afriad to ask for help.

I have learned that there are people willing to work with you at this college that encourage you to succeed. The people at this college are willing to take time out of their schedule to sit down and have a chat with you if you need one. For example, someone from this college was willing to sit down with me and plan out my next few semesters at this college telling me what classes remained for me to take and advised me on which classes to take during each of the semesters. I have found that I have been accepted at this college. All students are different and the professors are willing to work with the students in order to have their academic needs met. The relationship between a student and a professor at this college is very professional and very heartwarming to be a part of. This has been valuable to me because I was very scared and confused when taking the steps of setting up my classes. This college has assisted me in ways I never thought possible through e-mails and phone calls. If I was ever confused with anything, there was always someone there to help.

Caldwell College has provided me with opportunities to grow as a student leader. It has helped me to get my education in a very caring and supportive environment. The student to faculty ratio is very small and students get a great opportunity to interact one to one with their professors in the class and also outside the class. The campus community is a very close knit community that has always helped me to become successful in what i do.

If I could give myself advice now, I would have chose my college wiser. I applied to a few colleges and than went to the one my parents were more interested in. I would have done a bit more research into the tuition and fees as well as the school's academic, social and housing situations. I really enjoyed the aspect of small classes and getting to know my teachers, so I would make sure I chose a school with that factor. Also, I would research the academic standing of the college because although it was not important to me at the time, looking back now I was I realized how important it is. Unfortunately, I am now over one hundred thousand dollars in debt to student loans for an education I could have received much cheaper at a potentially better school. Looking back now I really wish I did more research and was more interested in where I was planning on attending college.

Having been out of high school for nearly 15 years, the first thing I would go back and tell myself is not to wait so long to go to college. I would tell myself to graduate high school with the best grades possible, and to attend the college of my dreams and love every minute of it, but to do so responsibly. However, the most important advice I would give myself, as cliche as this might sound, is to follow my dreams of being a professional musician and music teacher with all my heart, and not to allow anyone, not even my family, to deter me from doing so.

I would tell myself to do the Freshman Connect Program at Caldwell College and to try my best at everything given to me. I also would apply for more scholarships and do well on my SATs.

Dear Girl with the 2.7 GPA, You didn't finish high school at the top of your class, but thats okay because you certainly haven't shown the world your true potential. However, there is no time to worry about any of that now. You have successfully been accpeted to college, so now it's time to make some changes. The best advice I can give you is to go in with an open mind. Always be warm and welcoming because the friends you will soon meet just may end up being your friends for life. Take your academics seriously! College is a chance for you to take control of your academics. Chose your classes on days and times that work best for you so you can accel. Most of all, get involved! The more you become involved in, the more people you meet, the more you learn, and the better your college experience will be. You need to understand that the choices that you make now will shape you as an adult. Your college identity is your pathway to the real world. Make sure you take the right path! Sincerely, The girl with the 3.5 GPA

The advice I would give to someone trying to find the right school is keep an open mind and don't limit yourself. Just because school x is not what you think college is supposed to be like does not mean it can't be the right school for you. Visit the school and find out what they are about. You may find something you weren't expecting.

The advice I would give to parents and/or students about finding the right college is to visit the college before they decide on one. I only visited the school after I knew I was accepted and made the decision to live at home because of financial reasons. But I do think it is important to visit the college because not everyone will be content attending a college where the most activity surrounds school work or internship work. Partying is not a necessary part of college life, but it is part of what most students look foward to the most. In regards to making the most the ones college experience, I would advise both parent and students to keep an open mind about the colleges their visiting and the obvious and un-seen prospects. Life is what you make it and college life followers that rule also. I feel that in order to maximize ones college experience students have to at the very least get involved in clubs. That is where the most activity begins and it is the perfect place to meet and interact with other students who have the same interests you do.

Well, First of all a person should decide weather he or she wants to live near the family or away. Then, you decide if you are comfortable with a big, huge school or a small cute place. Then comes the money part, you need to know what your parents' budget is. Or if you are taking out a loan, how much can you afford. After deciding all this, apply to all the colleges you can, and my bet is pick the one that offer you most scholarship! It does not depend where you study, it depends how you study and what are you going to make of it. Finally, enjoy the college experience, don't get a full time job while at school. Try to spend less and budget yourself so that you don't loos eyour concentration from studies. Make friends, don't just sit in the dorm and have fun with them. Get involved on on-campus activities and you will do fine. If you really need cash, get a small on campus job!
