Cheyney University of Pennsylvania Top Questions

Just to choose the college that YOU want to attend..... Not the one everybody else THINK you should attend....... Stay focused and graduate on time..........

Always stay on top school work. Never think you do not have to study for test or review your work after class. It's always good to stay on track with school.

i would say find a college that has a lot of scholarship oppurtunities, academicaly strong, and a carrear service center. a college that is very diverse and also a good fitness center.

In order for the parents of the new college student to feel the most comfort out of the college that their child has selected, would be to visit the college with your child and to take in what the college has to offer. It helps the parent when they are able to be hands on and see that this college is an excellent choice for their child. For students, in order to find the right college do your research, that is extremely important. Make sure that you are happy with everything on campus, and do not be afarid to ask questions. College is a different experience then high school, it teaches you responsiblity by being in an mature independent enviornment. Make sure that when you pick the college of your choice you enroll in activities so that you take pride in the college you plan on attending. Being involved gives you school spirit and helps you to grow to love the university that you plan on going to.

Early preparation is the best way to start.

Visit the Colleges you are interested in and talk to the students there. Be sure to try different activities and get invovled. Talk to the professors and staff members, they will help you out when you need it. Don't forget the values your parents taught you . Take classes outside of your major, and try new things. Talk to career services and get an internship. Have fun.

If you have a dream never give up, because education is not expensive at all.

Make sure you the college has the academic programs that you are looking for. Make sure that they have scholarship opportunities available. Visit the college before you decide to enroll. Once enrolled, utilize every resource that is available to you.

Before selecting a college to attend I advise parents and prospective students to research the school to gain knowlege of that University. Do not limit yourself when choosing a college. Have at least a few colleges to choose from. Take college campus tours to get a better idea of what your academic and social experience will be like so you can make the most out of your college experience. Ask students that may already attend a school that you are interested in about that college. Get different opinions about your financial package from various colleges so you will know who sponsers the the best award to fit your budget and financial needs. Lastly, choose wisely to make the most for your future endeavors.

I would say before you make a decision of whatever school you pick that fits you best do as much research as much as you can look for campus life, financial , majors, etc anything you can of picking the right school for you. Also as far college experience I can say do your best at school make good decison, hang out with the right people, always do work and concentrate, and never anyone come between your study and work habits and always manage your time.

When looking for the right college, visit the college campus, tour the dorms and buildings, talk to current students, talk to current staff. If possible, find alumni and talk to them about the school as well. Consider the tuition, but also remember that even though college may be expenisve think of it as an investment into yourself. When you find the right college for you, remember to stay focused and determined. College is one part of your life that can make or break you. You may come into college not nowing exactly where you want to go or do in life, but make it a point to find out what it is that you would love to do, not just the first thing you find that your good at.

The advice that I would give to another student & or parent about finding the right college is think about everything that the university has to offer such as housing, scholarships, class size, location and the ability to get to places that you need (grocery stores, & hospitals), campus activities, diversity & opportunities for jobs & internships as well as other opportunities that one could rely on to put them where they need to be. Additionally I would tell someone to look at what kind of teachers are teaching at that college because you do not want to be taught by a teacher who barely knows what they are talking about. If a student were to ask me advice on making the most of their college experience I would tell them that the key is communication.Also, the more opportunities that you take advantage of on campus the more well rounded you will become.

The best thing that i would tell people is to make sure that the school feels right to them. That has alot to do with how a studend does in school. I would also make sure that the school has majors that the student wants. Also the school needs to have a strong job placement program as well as intership fo students through major companies. Campus should not be boring on weekends there should always be something for students to do.

Become a part of your campus community. Meet as many people as you can from as many different backgrounds as you can. Get to know a few professors and take classes outside your major. Attend seminars and don't make your life revolve around your school; Join some clubs. Go to class, every class, every single time. Sit near the front, its easier to pay attention. Study hard and belive that you can and will be sucessful. Congratulations

As a student who is dealing with the right funding for school, I express the importane of earning good grades in high school and being very active in high school. Most scholarships come from being an athleic or having very good grades. My grades were not the best in high school and I wish they were, becaus eI would not have the problems Im having now. I would let parents know that it is important to support their child in every desicion made in life espically when it comes to college. A child's dream can be destroyed faster by a parent then by a friend or someone else. Prayer and Faith is the number thing to help people with anything. Right now I have to find 10,000 to retuen to Cheyney, with my mom by my side and all thne faith and prayer I saw this opprutunity to win a scholarship. It is also important that just becaus you may not be able to attend the school of your choice, does not mean that your college plans are over. Be strong and never give up.

I would tell them to talk to other students on campus if they could just not the ones the college appoint to talk to you. Also you are paying for your education or using loans that you have to pay back so you should utilize all the resources available, participate in activities, get invlolved. Volunteer. because out there in the work world they are looking for ambitious people, people that are serious and are able to work and love to help. and are not lazy. Always ask questions and aim to be a master student because in the end the reward is Good!
