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.
