What should every freshman at Delaware State University know before they start?

I would say go to a school that will help you to advance in life. Choose a school that you will be happy to be attending the whole time you are there. Also for the students, just enjoy the college life and live it to the fullest. Do not have any regrets when you graduate from college.

If you're going to attend Delaware State University, make sure you know what your major is going in. Do as much as you possibly can in advance, and DO NOT get a job on campus... unless you do not need money, or you're willing to do it part time while you are employed in another job OFF CAMPUS (if you're lucky enough to even GET a job off campus).

i would just reccommend that parents stay invloved and active with the status of the University

I would tell the students to try and spend a week at the school and try to explore the area so that they can get the feel of the campus and its surroundings. This will let you know if you will enjoy the school or not.

The advice that I would give anyone trying to find the right colllege is to first visit the college. This is probably the most important thing you will do in the search process. I did not do this and wish I had. The quality of buildings and resources found on the campus will be a reflection of your experience to come. In addition, ask questions, read any rules or propaganda provided by the college and make the college stick to any promises they use to bait you to come there. Making the most of the college experience can be done by taking advantage of every educational program, food night, sorority or fraternity intake, friendship, sports event, class and scholarship possible. The social life of college is something you will never forget. But most importantly you are there for your education; work hard in order to play hard. Get the academics out of the way so that any free time can be spent doing something enjoyable. Complete every assignment ahead of time and on time. With that said the rest of the time can be spent creating relationships and fond memories.

Talk to students that attend your prospective college to find out how they feel about it and the aspects important to you.

Before you worry about findong the right college worry about finding the funding. with out that you can't go to the college you need to or want to for the degree program that you really want to earn. If money is not the problem. take your time, read everything, visit unexpectedly as well as during an open house or appointment. go to a football game and observe the students and staff as well as security- is it abnormally high, extremely low, what is the area like and are the academics strong enough to challege you in your desired field

First, visit the school's campus, talk with the students, ask questions about campus security, soros. & frats, clubs & organizations ask are the teachers helpful. My college experience has been a hard road, classes are hard, I stuggle to understand,but I have yet to give up. My gpa should not be a reflexion of who or what I am. I've struggled with learning and I've struggled with getting little or no financial aid. My advice to anyone who begins college is to " NEVER GIVE UP" teachers may get you discourage, YOU may even discourage yourself from finishing college. For some people it takes 4 years, for others it may take longer. Nevertheless, as long as the goal of getting a degree has been fulfilled it doesn't matter how long it takes. I'm 22 years old and I won't be graduating until 2010. My friends have all graduated before me and some even laugh that I am behind. So when someone criticizes you about how your doing in school. Tell them, " I will take a new direction in life and I will do my best, because in the end, the best is all anyone can do."

Make sure you go to the college before making you final decison
