Fayetteville State University Top Questions

I WOULD RESEARCH OTHER SCHOOLS WHILE I'M IN HIGH SCHOOL INSTEAD OF WAITING UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE. I WOULD LOOK AT SCHOOLS THAT OFFER MY GRADUATE PROGRAM AS WELL AS UNRADUATE BECAUSE THAT'S INMPORTANT WHEN IT COMES TO SCHOOL.

My name is solofoson emmanuel , anglican priest since 1996 and I wish to follow a training I need a scholarship

I would tell myself to stay focused on the prize, do not let your social life or work get in the way! Keep pushing through all the negitive things that people have to say! Study harder and longer then what you are use to doing, reach out to more people around you. Use your resources teachers, coachs and other students! Do not try to do everything on your own and do not let your pride and fear of embearusment get in the way of anything you want and need to do! Set up as many back up plans as possible! Keep up on all of your school work do not allow your self to fall behind! The last and most important thing do not procastinate! Strive for that 4.0 GPA and graduate with honors! If I could go back in time I would inforce that on myself more than anything!

When finidng the right college take your child to visit the campus and go to different offices and talk to people so that you will get the fell of the campus. You also have to look at the campus that is willing to give you the most scholarships. Look at the school spirit and how friendly the other students and professors are to the students. Look at the surrounding off campus and what it has to offer to your child. The most important let your child make the decision of what college he/she wants to attend so they will get the fell of being and adult and making big decisions because their the ones that has to attend the college not the parent.

I would advise all parents and/ or students to take a campus tour and possibly stick around for weekend for a quick preview of what it would be like when she/or he is there. I would also recommend joining a networking site such as myspace, facebook, twitter etc. and find people who currently attend the school that you interested in. Of course I do not recommend meeting complete strangers or at least meeting complete strangers in non-public places, but I do suggest making friends, communicating your feelings about the school and what you are looking for. Nine times out of ten the person can give you insight about what you are getting yourself into.

The right college determines how you will suceed in life. It helps you gain the knowledge you need to know to make a better and brighter future.

I would advise parents to ask students what they are planning to achieve from the college experience. I feel that most students go into the college experience uninformed. Parents and students should sit down and make goals for college instead of just jumping in. Just because a campus is known for good parties doesnt mean it fits your academic needs. Pros and cons should be weighed.

I would say that apply to all the colleges that you can and look at your options. Do you want to be close to home or far away from home? Are you going to be able to afford then college you want to attend? See what colleges offers the programs you want to be in. College is a big step after high school there are alot of changes and responsinilities, you can't call on mama and daddy all the time. Attending college will make you a better person and strong becasue you are going to be around differeent people with different cultures and religion. I know that alot of parents are going back to school which is great just make sure it does't interfere that much with work and your family. I think its great that parents are going back to school that shows that theya re trying to better themselves. Some people go to a 2 year college then transfer to a university which is great to. To me it doesnt matter what college or university you attend as long as you are happy and you are getting your education. Thats how i feel bout attending college.

Please make sure that your financial aid is correct. I had to transfer back home because the school I attended didn't want to offer me enough within my mothers income. Also do your research, ask other people about the school, the down and dirty information. When you goin as a freshman, don't have the mindset that its just like high school because it's nothing like it. Make wise choices; its okay to party but make sure you get your work done first.

College is a big decision in not only a students life but the parents life aswell. You want to choose the college that best fits both the student and the parent. The college should be affordable for the parent and should contain the major the student on wish they follow on their carrer plan to succes. College plays a big role in peoples lives its a great experience. As a student you get to meet new people experience new things like living on your own. The advice i have to give to upcoming parents and students to finding the right college for them is to do reshearch on the college.
