Cheyney University of Pennsylvania Top Questions

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!
