College of Mount Saint Vincent Top Questions

If i had the chance to go back in time i would have went to Penn State instead of listening to my father. He wanted me to go to a in state school and now i am at a school where i am not happy.

With the experience I have in these two years of college you and the things you've been through. If I had the opportunity to go back in time, I would give some tips. One would not waste my time with friends, not doing what is supposedly good for them, if not follow my instincts, my goals and do what I really want. Which was to graduate with good grades and get into a good college with good scholarship. Which if you enter a good university is the Puerto Rico Inter American. But that last years or high school rather than cutting down notes for leaks go, stop studying for partying and let my friends do anything with me, keep my average due to get better scholarships in the same inter-or at another university good and who knows if classes jumping forward so inncesarias for my future. Anyway, I would love to have another chance with the ability that I have to have better vision of my future. But as I can not, all I do is to thank God for letting me get where I am and ask him to be He, directing my way from now on.

In college, you meet people from all walks of life, the good, the bad, the plain old ugly, college has it all. And no matter how weak you think you are, college will show you your strenghts and vice-versa. I learn about people and myself and my place in the world. In college, you will become the person that you really are, your best friend or your worst enemy.

Learned a lot from classes and campus life.

I have learned many things in my short time at college, both socially and academically. Having a roommate who lives over five hours away from my hometown, in addition to several new friends from other parts of the country, I have become appreciative of new customs and traditions practiced in other cities. This particular college is located close to the center of New York City and I have therefore had several new experiences that taught me many things. My professors live in or around the city and therefore they, too, offer anecdotes and lessons they have learned from living in such a diverse area. I have come to appreciate new walks of life and new ways of approaching life as well as better alternatives to some of my own customs.

The advice I would give parents and/ or students about finding the right college is to make sure you are happy with the location, the cost and the courses you will be taking. Check out the schools reputation and the facilities. After all, this is where they will be spending the next 4 years of they're life, make the best of it.

Making the most out of your college experience will help set up your personal and professional success. The process of selecting the right school will be somewhat daunting and exciting, but it should be a process of making a wise decision. To find a college that is best suited for you, you have to visit the campus and get a feel of the community. College will become your second home, so you have to see if you are comfortable in it's environment first, so that you do not have an experience where you have regrets about your decision, because it will be a waste of time, effort and money. Make sure to include your parents in making this decision because a second or third perspective can help you narrow down your decision. While you are at college, explore the interests that you have with campus activities and clubs because you can meet people that will stimulate your experience and help you feel rooted throughout this journey. It's important for you to grow personally and intellectually so that you are a more well rounded, mature person when you recieve your diploma. GOOD LUCK!

Keep an open mind and visit as many colleges as you are able. Overnight experiences with current students are much better than a mere open house. Try visiting the campus when admissions events are not being held. Don't become hung up on worrying if you make the right choice; you always have options later should you feel you're where you want to be.

Make sure you visit the college first. First impressions are important and if the student would not find the college like home then most often the student will not like living there and go to school there. Also be active on campus that is how you meet most of your friends. The friends you meet by being active would turn into your friends for life.

Find what's right for YOU (the student), not what your told is right. Attend open houses, even if its more than one - you need to get a feel for the Campus before deciding if it's really the right one. GET INVOLVED. GET INVOLVED. GET INVOLVED. It was the BEST thing that I did during my four years of college - and it helped me get an amazing job.

Make sure to take advantage of all the resources your school has to offer (academic and extra curricular); it'll make your experience more memorable. And more expensive doesn't mean better as far as tuition goes; sometimes the best quality of education comes from the most unexpected places.

First, make sure that what you're planning as a career in the future is being offered on campus. Know the requirements, the curriculum, the plan and the cost. Go to orientation to get a feel of the campus and the faculty. Make sure that they staff make you feel comfortable and it feels at home. Know where everything is located.

The advice that I would give to both parents and students about finding the right college and making the most of college experience would be one saying. "Don't put all of your eggs in one basket." I was 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} sure that I wanted to attend a particular Division 1 University and I fell in love with the school. Unfortunately, due to an injury my senior year of high school, my D1 Baseball scholarships were retracted. I chose not to look at other universities before this point. After receiving notice that my scholarships were taken away, I had to scramble looking for D2 and D3 colleges where I could succede both athletically and academically. The coaches here, along with administration did everything they could to help me with my situation. Wrapping it all together - Keep an open mind to what college you are looking at. Do your research on various colleges. And go into everything knowing change is comming. Its a hard adjustment, but if your willing to strive for success- you will certainly find it.

Make sure you explore all your options and find the one you absolutely fall in love with and could see yourself at for 4 years!

I would just tell them to make sure they make a school visit, but one through the school as well as one on their own, that way they won't be influenced by school official's opinions. I would also say to talk to current students, not just those involved in the admission process

If your looking for a small, diverse school, Mount Saint Vincent is that place for you. Although there is not an extreme emphasis on religion, you still have to take religion classes. The campus is beautiful, right on the Hudson River overlooking the Palisades. The teacher-student relationship and ratio could not be any better. The teachers are the best in their field, with plenty of published work. They really care for their students and understand that things happen sometimes. They are flexiable and will always work with any problem you may have. Your classmates are one of your most useful tools here, use them! Group study sessions really will help you and your friends. Mount Saint Vincent is overall a great place to attend college. Being a stones throw for NYC, you have the world at your hands!

When looking for a college, just don't jump at the first school that excepts you or go to a school where your friends are going. make sure that you do as much research as possible so the at you can find the best school that is for you. If you like a small school, do not go somewhere that is big. Also make sure that you have a general idea of a major that you will like and not get yourself stuck with a major that you do not want to have a career in. It is great to choose a school that has an amazing program, but make sure that you can afford it and most importantaly, have a great college experience!

I would tell parents and students to find a place that's comfortable, not too far away from home, and where you truly feel you will get the best education. My experience may not be the same for everyone so it's important to know what you want and look for a school that best meets those criteria.

My advice for choosing the right college is first figuring out what kind of environment you would like to spend everyday in. The saying is location, location, location! Look at the student handbook and compare the services the colleges have. Also, look into colleges that have a wide range of scholarship opportunities. It is very important to visit a college for an open house and ask random students (other than the tour guides) their opinion of the school. Look to see the facilities of the school, if they have a pool, tennis court, football field, gym, or recreation center. Overall, compare schools on the degree programs offered and if they even offer your choice of major. This means looking through the school's course catalog and seeing if they have interesting classes. Going to college is a wonderful experience whether you commute or reside on campus. I think to grasp the full experience is becoming a resident and enjoying the extra activities at night. College is what you make of it. If you stay focused and have a positive mind set, you can succeed.
