Campbell University Top Questions

What should every freshman at Campbell University know before they start?

I would advise both the parents and students to tour the campus, and get a feel for the university's social life, possibly by spending the night in one of the dorm rooms. The potential college attendee should try to get a feel for how academically competitive the school is, possibly by conversing with some of the undergraduates, or by attending a class on campus. The student should also take the cost of attending the institution into consideration before attending the school. In order to make the most out of their college experience, I beleive that students should join a couple of on campus organizations, such as the college democrats or republicans; or subject based group, such as one that focuses on math or computers. students could possibly volunteer for certain organizations in the surrounding community. I reccomend that all undergraduates apply for internships during the course of their college career. In conclusion, no college/university will be a complete fit for the potential attendee. By thouroughly searching for an instittution that matches at least 80{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of that student's preferences, one can be assured of at least being partially satisfied with the institution he or she chose to attend.

When chosing a school, take into account what the college or university stands for and prides itself in. Visit the school more than once and talk to a variety of students. Finding students that you can relate yourself to can give you a better idea of how you will like the school.

Ruby

I would advise parents and/or students to look at what career path they are going for, and then look at size of school. I would also talk to students who attend there or have attended.

Pick a school that matches you and your identity. Sometimes it may not be a right fit at first or at all but you should always be able to change and perhaps find another school. It helps to talk to faculty early on and learn their opinions and advice. Think long and hard about this choice and visit all of these schools.

Daniel

Make sure you find a school where you feel comfortable. You won't be able to learn effectively if you're not comfortable.

In order for a student to find the right college for them, I would highly recommend a visit to the campus while it is in session. I would also recommend taking one of your parents with you as they will be able to gather their own viewpoint of the campus and share it with you later. It's important to go while students are there so you can look around at their faces and their activities to see what's going on and if they look happy and comfortable in the school's environment and even interview one or two of the students. I would also set up an appointment with the financial aid and admissions office while there to discuss what options you have and to see if you qualify for any scholarships. Making the most of your college experience depends on you. Don't go to school somewhere because all your friends are attending there. Pick a school that offers the things you like most in life. If you're comfortable in a small classroom, then attend a small school. If you like the hustle and bustle of a large university, then that's where you should go.

I would advise them to start planing early. It is never too early to begin planning for your college education. College is a very important time of your life to grow and find yourself. Where you attend college is a very important decision that will impact the rest of your life.

Choosing the correct college for a high school student or for someone who is returning to school can be very difficult. Filling out applications and visiting campuses can be hectic. It takes much time and thinking thoroughly each and every school in mind; however, the choice is to be made. Every student should consider primarily if the campus desired is a small, nature-like campus or if they prefer a big, busy campus. These are, of course, according to each person?s taste and what they prefer, but other things in mind should be the professor to student ratio, the size of the classroom, and even the dorm rooms. Financially speaking, one should choose a school that offers plenty of help for the family according to how much help they may need. All of these are very important to consider when choosing the best college for any student.
