Clarion University of Pennsylvania Top Questions

Make sure to visit the university and consider the facilities near it, not just on the campus. Try to pick one that suits you the best academically.

Students. Go with your gut. For the parents: its the childs education, not yours!

My advice would be to become involved while still managing your time well. it is very important to be an upstanding member of the community, be involved in university activities and organizations, and keep good grades in the process.

College is a scary next step in life that anyone that wants to truely succeed will go through eventually. I advice parents who want to help their child find the right college, to let them be available to all of the options. Take them to visit numerous schools so that they can get a feel of what fits them best when they are there in the moment. And students should always pick the right college that best fits them, academically, environmentally and socially. Do not just go somewhere where you have friends because everyone's interests are different, or there is a good possibility they will become different later on because in college you grow and mature. To make the most of your experience you should try new things, anything that you think might make you happy. And always always have an open mind and say yes to opporunities that present themselves because you never know what you might end up liking or what actions might end up happening to you in the process of long but short and fullfilling road to discovery.

I would tell them to do alot of research on the campus and visit it a few times, over night visits are also a good idea if they are offered. The only way to tell if you like a place is by spending time there and exploring the town its located in.

Go take tours of schools and pick the one that you like best that best suits you. You can always change your college if the first year doesn't work out!

Talk to students who go there, but not the one's giving the tours. They will give you canned answers. Find students on campus and talk to them.

Thw advice i would give is to go where the lifestyle of the campus can agree with you or your child's own. i looked for a conservative meduim sized college and Clarion was perfect for me, but not for many of my freinds. Also is the specifics like majors and houseing, those wshould always be cinsidered, but mainly you have to walk around a cumpus and feel like you would fit in.

To make the most of your college experience I believe it is very rewarding to get involved. Being involoved you meet the most diverse and friendly people. To find the right college for you I feel you have to go with a gut feeling, what factors are most important to you when choosing. Is it distance, cost, other factors.

First of all, if you know what you want to major in make sure to research and find the best schools to provide you with the training and resources to have a successful job in the field of your choice. If you aren't sure what you want to do with your future, I would suggest seeing which schools provide quality education and offer many activities so you can get involved and find what it is that best fits you. Other than that, make sure to keep important facts such as income, the type of environment you prefer, availability of getting to and from campus and your overall judgement in mind so that you enjoy these wonderful four years of your life. College is an amazing time to find yourself and grow as a person, so make sure to find the right place for you and work hard so that you can have a brighter future.
