DeSales University Top Questions

choose the school you want to attend based on the major, im transfering to Kutztown from DeSales because I made a mistake in the beginning but now I corrected it so I'm on the right track now.

I would say not to worry about attending the biggest party school, or even worrying about a social life while in school. If you go in very focused and tough out the years, you'll come out mature and ready to have an entire different kind of social life. You will be able to socialize with people who very well match your interests as well as afford to do fun things like going on trips and weekend getaways. Education is the best part (in the long run) of college.

It is really as simple as this: find the school that feels like home!

Choosing a college is one of the most important choices you will make in your life. It is vital to pick a school that will give you a great education as well as provide excellent opportunities for growth as a person and student. Extracurricular activity offerings are also a critical point to consider when choosing a college. My recommendation for choosing a school is to visit each option several times to really get a feel for the campus atmosphere. Sit in on some classes and stay overnight if possible. Once you have made your choice and have started school, try to get involved in as much as you can handle. By doing this, you will make friends like no other who share your interests and ambitions. Plus, you will be able to network with professors and alumni for possible jobs when you graduate. But do not forget your school work. Academics is the reason you are attending college to begin with, so make the best of it. My best suggestion is do not procrastinate and always stay caught up with your work. These tips will ensure success both socially and academically. What else could a college student ask for?

-keep an open mind, and always apply to a safety school! -stay overnight at the school which you apply to if @ all possible!

Feel at home, first impressions are not always the best. Go on a nice day because a rainy one could ruin your whole view. Check out every aspect of the school even if it is not your interest at the current moment, your major can always be CHANGED!

Chose a school that is willing to go out of their way to make you happy. You will know once you step onto a campus if that school is one you want to be enrolled in.

Go with your gut, don't choose a school just because you're best friend, teacher or family member said to. Go where where YOU truly want to go, it will make things so much easier for you.

I would advise both students and parents to look at many different qualities about each school before making your choice of college. A great way to do this, which helped me, is to make a Pro/Con list for each university of choice. You should first and foremost look at each college for your defined major. You should look hard as to which school has the best program for your major. Also, I suggest you look at college size, campus life, off campus life, etc. That way, you will make the most out of your future college experience. No matter what, you should always have fun at college. And you will always have that no matter which school you choose. Look into every aspect as to what each college offers you, and you will make the right decision. You are going to college for a purpose, and you should also have fun while being there. Make the most of college experience, follow your heart, and you will have the time of your life.

Trust your instincts and drink a lot.
