Colorado State University-Pueblo Top Questions

Knowing what I know now I would tell myself to take the ACT more than once. Do more research so that the college I go to meet the needs of my major. I would also advise myself, to either work before I go or try taking my basic /general classes at a Junior college then transfering to the four year college that met my goals. Last I would advise myself to get out of any class that I wasn't connecting with the style of the teacher no matter how much I liked them as a person ; find, talk to some students who had already taken the same course with a different teacher and get there take on the teaching style.

I would make sure that I knew it is not as hard as it seems and that I should have picked the first college I wanted to go to instead of settling. I would also tell myself to do better with money that summer so you have more for school. Another thing I would tell myself was to make sure to be super active your freshman year. Being active the first year helps you to make a lot of friends and get in good with the school.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would make sure I went to Colorado State University of Pueblo right out of high school. When I graduated high school in May of 2006, I did not start college until January 2007 and went to a community college. When I decided to go to CSU in August of 2008, not all of my credits were accepted and I was considered a freshman again. Not only would this be advice for myself as a high school senior, but also advice for anyone who would ask and my future children. Starting at a university as soon as one graduates would keep one caught and one would not have to worry about what will transfer and what will not.

I would give my self the advice is to not be afraid of what is to come in the next few years because you will blink and realize that is all gone again just like it was in high school. Also to not worry about what your going to do with the rest of your life and just worry about what tomorrow will bring. You dont have to worry about what you will be for the rest of your life because you have the rest of your life to figure it out. Life is not something to fear but something to embrace so that things arent missed.

Apply for as many scholarships as possible in my junior and senior years, volunteer more and stay in school through college while I was younger.

Study hard, do well, pay attention and have fun

Find a college that delivers the classes you want at the times you want. Find a school that makes you feel comfortable and at home.

Finding the best college for you or your child can be hard. I would say visiting and talking with the profressors, administration, and other on campus staff helps; but talking to the students that acutally know what it is like to be an athlete, in a club, involved in the school activities or just going there because thats what works is the most important. Students tend to tell you what they go through exactly and if you get enough opinions then you can make the best decision for you.

Choose a place that you are excited to go to! Don't choose based on your parents wants and needs. It is you who is attending the school and in order to succeed you must love the place in which you are enrolled.

Finding the right college is not about where all your friends are going. Sure it is nice to know people before you get there but sticking closing to friends you already know may limit your new friends. So do not be afraid to pick a college that is not what your friends are picking.
