I would tell myself to go to college and stay in college. The outside world can wait and the money you could be making will come with a college degree. I would tell myself to put all of myself into school and never give up. I would also explain that even tho others or out parting and having fun you will in the long run have more fun and have more money. Life is what you make it, take it or leave it. Don't wait too long or you will never do it...

If I could go back I would make sure I drill in my head to go and do your best no matter what or who may try to get in your way or head, just to do your best. I say this to say that their are alot of changes that people make as a college student about theirselves, and i have notice those things. Thats why if i could go back I would say to myself never let anyone change who I am.

Do research on the neighborhood the school is located in. Find out the crime rate and what kind of activites the neighborhood has to offer the students. Make sure the school is accredited because that might matter to you depending on what the student plans on doing after graduation. Make sure the school is a place where you can feel comfortable, somewhat at home. You do not want to step out of your comfort zone.

Find which one is right for you and live your life because you only get that once, first time college experience so use it wisely.

Always research the school you plan to attend. Look at imprortant factors, such as cost of attendence. Be sure that the school you plan to attend can meet with all your adjectives.

Finding the right college is about locating the campus where you will fit in the most and be yourself. When going on college visits, one should try to conversate with current students and ask about life at that university. Once getting feedback from students, faculty, and university officials, ask yourself, "Is this really the college for me." Making the most of your college experience the basically doing what makes you happy. Dont tag along with people of negative influences as you will only hurt yourself and family in the long run. College is a place where you will meet a lot of friends, some of whom will remain for the rest of your life so choose them wisely.

Make sure that the child want to go to the school and always visit the school as many times as you can to get a feel of what goes on at the school at different times. and make sure they try to fill out all the scholarships that can. And always try to make the best of your school because at first you might not like it but sometimes it grows on you

The advice that i would pass on to parents or about finding the right college would be to find one where you feel like you would fit in the best. A college where you don't feel out of place due to your religion, ethnicity, or way you dress. If you are able to find a college where you fit into then it will be very easy to make the most out of your college experience because then you will love the place that you are at and will want to be involved with everything that goes on at that school.

choose a college that is well organized. If you or your student needs to accomplish something they shouldn't have to run to three different places to find the application and it be the old form.
Tiffany
choose the college that best fits you and your budget. make as many friends as possible but stay focused on your work.

Do a lot of research and visit the school. Ask students, people you may not even know. My parents did not have the money to send me to school, and I was scared I would not be able to pay for it, and I did not want to be in debt the rest of my life so I did not go straight to school. I now know I should have went straight to the right University even though I would have to take out student loans. I have wasted so much time and taken so many classes that do not count for anything because of a bad school. Now I am 23 and have a year and a half of school to do, and I will still have to be paying student loans, what I tried to avoid in the first place.

The advice I would provide parents/ students about finding the right college is make sure that it is memorable. College is a stage in your life that you do not want to regret. Parents should make sure thier child stays focus on the ultimate goal , which is graduation. So relax, study hard and most of all have fun.

Thouroughly research the goals of the school, specifically the department in which you are interested in enrolling. You need to know where your school stands on important issues, and be able to know whether or not they are going to provide you with both appropriate challenges, and set you up for a future that is successful in the real world.

Dont be quick to make a decision, look at all options first.

No one really gave me any avice, my mama just ask me was I 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} sure thats where I wanted to go.

I mean you never no what college is for you until you real attend, even when you go on campus tour, you want no the real deal until you real go to the schoola and become a student. College is what you make it, it's depends on how active you are , and who you know. So finding a college is hard but no matter what choice you pick it's not the college that it right,its you that makes the college.
quentin
i would tell parents to let their children pick the college thats right for them.i would tell students to pick a college they can afford and that has some activities they are interested in either on campus or around the campus. I would also tell students to do their work but also have fun and try new things.
Leatrice
The advice that i give parents and students is to do a full research about the college before you pick but Elizabeth City State University is a good college because it's a small school and that gives the professor to help students individually with anything that they don't understand. The professors and the advisors care about the student academic work and do the best they can so the students can be on the right path.
