East Texas Baptist University Top Questions

It is really important to find the school that best fits you! and make sure that you talk to students throughout the campus to know how they feel, they will let you know what everything is really like. Look at all the dorms and sample the cafeteria food as well. Make sure that you dont go home every weekend when you first start going to school because you make most of your friends at those times and you really wont like your experience at all. Most of those people end up leaving after the first yr. Try to get involved in something that you will really like. Not everyone is made for frats or sororities, so do intermurals or anything that you find to be fun, and you will meet way more people that way. Dont forget to study because it is NOT like high school, you cant coast if you wanna get somewhere in life! Its ok to miss out on some things because you need to study. Dont blow your money and get in debt, it will hurt you later! And stay physically active, it will help your grades and the freshman 15 is real!!

There maybe a million schools out there that call you asking repeatedly for your attendance, but the one you want is the one that you call repeatedly asking if you can attend. Even so that is not always the one that you should go to. Opportunities are hidden in every school. Be sure to look at the ones that don't seem to offer much,because it could be a diamond in the rough. Ask about the student life and how you would be able to help. If a school doesn't have what you are looking for think about how you could be the one that goes in there and makes the changes the campus needs. Every school is different. The school that was made for you may be the school you least expected, so don't be afraid to dig deeper and truly research schools. Be confident that your four years will be well spent.

Get involved before and after enrolling in the University. Money is available if things are submitted on time and the future is bright if only students step up and take what is offered to them.

Just make sure it will be a college you will LOVE to go to... You don't want to ALWAYS count down the days until the next time you get to go home... Students remember this is for your future! Don't slack off too much! WORK HARD and earn your grades make yourself, and your family PROUD!

Go to a state university and not a private one.

Never Choose a school that just looks good, find a college university or trade school that feels like it's perfect otherwise you'll spend the next four years trying to figure out why you're there and not focus on graduating

Choosing the right college is very important. I would advise parents and students to look at several different schools in different parts of the country. The college should fit the student's needs toward learning and equipping for the future and fit the student's particular lifestyle. Look for the best and do not give up until your goal is accomplished.

My advice to anyone searching for that right college or university is to find a place where you can be you and also grow in your education. Many times, first time college students attend the "wrong" school because they wanted to get away from home and party, not have to listen to parents, or whatever. College should be much more than that. Everything done from this point out will effect the rest of your adult life. College is too expensive and much too valueable to wasted.

Don't just think about where you're going. Think about where you would have been once you've gone where you were going. Don't go to college because it's the thing to do. Go to college because life is in your grasp and you need to seize it. Find a school that will serve your dreams for the future as well as satisfy your college expereince with the joy and pride of college life. They are both equally important.

Through all college searching, choose a university or college that best fits the vocation you desire to pursue and accomodates your social being. Finding a school that srengthens your character and grows your desire to learn is equally significant.
