Crown College Top Questions

Living on campus helps a whole lot because you make friends much more easily. Choose a school that best fits you, and don't let financial stop you from doing what you love doing. Would you rather be in debt for a career that you get tired of or would you rather be in debt for a career that you will love doing for the rest of you life? In addition, be sure to get involved with the school so then it will be worth going to when you get out of school. For the parents, support your children where they are going and for what (major) they are going for. Keep in touch with them as well and send them care packages once in a while.

I would encourage every student and parent to visit the school on a non-visit day and hang out with one of the students to get a real feel for the school.

Weigh out the options, and check out the colleges being applied to. Watch how the students treat each other and how the students and faculty interact. Schools where there is a ratio of around 20 students per professor will generally have closer relationships between students and faculty. This makes learning easier, but you also have to know what size school better fits your needs. Another reason checking out the campus is a good idea is to find out if the setting fits what you're looking for. If you feel uncomfortable in the country and the three you applied to are in the country, you may want to do some rethinking, unless you are looking for a new and different experience. Know what you want for distance and environment, ask lots of questions, get opinions from those who know the college, and make sure the college is going to fulfill all your needs before you decide on a college.

Know what you desire in your college experience. Know the background and reputation of the colleges you are looking at. The students, faculty, and staff are the best resourse to know how your college experiencec is going to be. Don't necessarily look at how big the college is, the location, the "cool stuff" look at the people. Know who you are and pick a college you will fit best in for the next 4 years. You will never regret your choice if you follow your heart.

Start the college search early and be open to both public and private institutions.

No one knows you better then yourself. Make sure that you are looking at everything that you need to succeed after college. Dont make a decision based on where your friends might be going because they are not you and as you go through college you will change. You grow up and sometimes grow apart. Look for what you need to achieve your goals in life. Follow what feels best and trust yourself.

Going to college is a life changing experience. To parents I would stress the importance of guidance and support as your child goes through the process of school selection and preparation for the transition. To students I would say visit as many schools as you can. Spend some time on campus without the admissions counselor. Do not be afraid to ask for help. Do not feel embarrassed if you are unsure of yourself. And above all finish a degree. ANY degree.

plan carefully

Really check out a lot of colleges and when you find the right one. And make the most of your college experience and HAVE FUN! Don't be so into your studies that you don't have fun with friends. Also don't get a boyfriend right away, enjoy the girl time and make the most of your college experience. Don't drink and do drugs...you want to remember your college experience! You can have fun without doing drugs and drinking!

Finding the right college is like finding an extension of you. When you visit that school and you start meeting students and faculty who have the same goals and worldview as you do, you know you have come home. College provices an opportunity for you to develop your character, work habits, as well as learn the consequences of both good and bad choices. As a result, choosing the right college is all the more vital. When you have found and attended that right college, all those development and learning opportunities will all be there for you to take advantage of. If you truly desire to make the most of your college experience, be proactive to take advantage of everything your school offers. If you can but do only that, you will go far.
