Clarion University of Pennsylvania Top Questions

I would frankly state that tuition and expenses will be outrageous at any school they are researching. I would suggest taking a tour of the school and asking to meet with a professor in the department the student is interested in majoring in. Try a few out on for size. It is difficult to make a decision on that scale at 17 or 18 years of age, so explore several options before signing anything.

My advice would be to take the time to visit several schools. Do NOT let money be the main deciding factor, although it must be considered. Cheap is not necessarily the best option. Paying a little more money may be the key to more enriching activities, better professors, more class choices, and more on campus activities that provide sources for making friends. The more people and activities on campus, the better the chance you'll find people you click with. Also, get involved right away! That is the best way to meet people. Keep your doors and minds open. You never know when you'll meet your closest friend. Take advantage of the various classes. You'll be surprised which ones will be your favorites, and it could change your career path.

When you step onto the campus you should be able to visualize yourself attending that school. Go somewhere where you feel comfortable and you will be happy with your choice.
