Dixie State University Top Questions

I would advise myself to study and read out of the textbooks. That is the hardest thing I've had to get used to in college- reading and studying from the textbooks. I would also advise myself to read ahead and/or prepare for the coming lessons, rather than trying to catch up after the lecture. Once you get behind, it's hard to catch back up. Another piece of advise I would give myself it to learn how to budget money- make an actual budget with projected expenses and income and learn to live within that budget.

Plan ahead as much as possible. Take a class in financial aid or ways in obtaining free money for school. Have fun your first year and enjoy the experience. After that, decide what you want to major in and get it done. College is as easy or hard as you make it.

What's up Bro! You know those honor/ap classes you wanted to take to help you with college? Don't take em Bro! You'll have to do a little extra work over the weekends. You will have to "study" for your test too and than you wouldn't be able to chill with the buds. Sure you could save thousands of dollars in the long run and make your college trip a bit lighter. Or maybe even get a scholarship to the "too epxensive" school your best friend got into, for actually going the extra degree, so that you can attend with him. Eh, it's not worth it to go the extra degree. Why work and learn new things everyday when you can just coast through the material from a class that is below your potential learning ability. You'll just go with the flow, right? No point in creating more prosperous opportunities for your future. Besides you have a whole four years of high school! It's not like it will flash by and leave you regretting because you did not took that extra degree. Well don't let me keep ya. ..Your friends are waiting.

dEAR SELF college is full of ups and downs but all you can do is float...with the harsh dorm conditions and the weird roommates. Oh yeah manage your money son, cuz we took a hit several times and needed things we had no funds for so save at least something. Study dont be so distracted by the maybes out on campus meaning(girls,recreational basketball,and parties). Stay on track your a strong young gifted man use your brain.

College life was a complicated transistion for me. If I knew in highschool what I know now, I would tell myself not to get discouraged and pay attention in math. For me, the transition was a little overwhelming, but I had lots of support through faculty at the school. I was not prepared to absorb so much information at once, so I struggled in math my first semester. Although, I did do well in all of my other classes. I absolutely loved being challenged and learning new information. I was very sick throughout my first semester and I got discouraged, I would definately change that. If I truly got the chance to go back and give advice to highschool senior me, I would say, "Don't give up, no matter what!"

College is a lot harder than high school. Professors are not as concerned about your well being as high school teachers. Your college success depends on you and only you. There is a lot of work that goes into applying and deciding which classes you should take. Nothing comes easy but by the time you are done it will be worth it.

Take harder classes and do well in school.

To work harder in school and make it a priority. Just be yourself and do not worry about what others think. Save money for college.

I would have spent a little more time trying to find more scholarships. I just relyed on my accademic sholarships but now that I have been going to school for a while I wish i would have spent more time finding scholarships that i could win. I also served a two year religious mission that really helped me pepare for college life.

If I could go back and give myself some advice about transitioning from high school to college I sould tell myself, I would tell myself not to stress so much about my schooling! I would tell my self to study hard and have confidence in myself! The knowledge will come if I read and pay attention in class! Now that I am graduated from high school I am not required to go to class, but not going to class hurts you a lot more then spending the fifty minutes in class! Going to class also takes away a lot of stress because you can ask questions and get clearification on questions that you get from your reading! I would also tell myself that a college education is priceless!

I would tell myself to try and decide what I want to be in life before I start trying to be something unknown. I would say set goals and stick to them. College is really hard and really expensive and wasting time is not a good way to go. Apply for every scholariship you can; they are a must when it comes to College. Lastly, have fun! It's not worth it if you don't enjoy it.

Do it! In other words take the time to find the right college. While you are there, prove to yourself that it is the right college. Create your environment, make the most of it, learn and apply it in every way possible. But don't stress too much about which one to go to. Just make sure you go!

Look at not just the college but the enviroment around it. For example Dixie has beautiful National Parks all around it, lakes, snowboard resorts, parks, and really its a wonderful place to live, it has everything. I believe it plays a big role in college. And last but not least, of course, is the academic programs that best fit your needs and your goals.

College is a delicate balance between academics, social activity, and a myriad of other things, depending on what you're involved in. The role each of these plays in a student's life is entirely up to the student. The important thing to remember in selecting a school is to select a school that best fits what you want out of your college experience. Remember, college is what YOU make of it.

My biggest piece of advice to parents and students alike is to start looking early! It is never too early to start discussing and looking into differnt options for college. The sooner you start, the better prepared you will be when it finally comes time to make a decision. Every college has some kind of website; use them! They carry all kinds of valuable information about the school and forms that you will eventually need when you decide on a school. Another thing that proved to be very valuable in my decision was to tour the campus of the school(s) that I felt I was truly interested in. When it came down to deciding time, I chose the school that I felt most at home and comfortable with while on the tour of the campus. It was a good tie-breaker between the colleges I had trouble deciding between. Also, talk to friends and other parents about their past or current experiences with colleges you might be considering. They can give you firsthand opinions about classes, teachers, and other campus things that you might not be able to read about or research. Remember that this is a fun experience!

Choose wisely. Look at all the options available and don't chose the most expensive school because that doesn't mean it's better. Small schools have a lot to offer, especially being able to know the professors.

The first thing you need to look at is, do they have the major you are pursuing. If not its not the right school for you. I think the next important thing is the location of the school. Not only the town and state but also how close family or friends might be. If you know you are going to get home sick really easy. Its probably better to go somewhere closer to home. You don want being homesick interfere with how you do in school. To get the most out of college you need to work hard and get good grades. Its important to have a social life and be involved with activities and clubs. Those things should not come before your school work though. After all that is the reason your going to school, to get an edcuation so you can get a good job. Its good to have a balance between school and the social life. Another thing to remember is that school is going to be hard and stressful, but there are many people to help you and it will definately be worth it when you graduate.

I would advise them to visit the colleges with clear questions in mind. If the student isn't sure what they would like to go into then to take a variety of classes that can help them learn about different fields. Don't feel like that would be a waste of time to do. Be open minded about what kind of schools you apply too and spread out your options. College is fun and take all the opportunities you can to enjoy it!

I would suggest that parents and students look for schools that have a wide variety of academic opportunities so that students don't feel trapped in their majors. More importantly check out the class schedules to see if the school offers enough classes to obtain the desired degree.
