Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University Top Questions

I would say keep your head high, and be strong for your about to experience the most difficult time of your life right now. This was your Grandma's dying wish and your Grandfather's dream. you're about to be the first of your family to go to college so do your best and stay true to yourself always. When times get rough stick with the guns that got you here, keep your head in the books, and your eyes on the prize, and your faith in the lord and you'll soon see that the light at the end of tunnel just became a little bit brighter.

First off, I want you to make a budget. Plan how much you will spend on partying and make sure you have enough money for food. Is going to the next Delta party reallii worth a weeks worth of food? If you see an organization you want to be a part of go ahead and join it. Know that there will always be another party. You are going to school to become a doctor and you're are definitely not a party major. Your grades are the most important thing and should come before any and everything. Everything also includes boys. I'm not telling you to shun every guy that approaches you but remember boys bring problems that you don't have time to deal with. And last but not least, don't forget that some friends are there for a season and some for a lifetime. Learn to let go of the friends who cause problems and hold on to the ones who are there for you on those not-so-good days. And of course, HAVE FUN!!

Fill out for more scholarships and go to a more diverse school dont have any roomates and keep gpa high

I would have told myself that because I had been so lazy in college I would have to work harder my first two years in college then I have ever worked in my life. I wanted a car my freshman year but was unable to obtain it because I only had enough money to pay tuition and several fees. This was primarily because I could not get scholarships because my grade point average coming out of high school was very low. Additionally, I would tell my younger self that I needed to become more sociable with my fellow peers. I should begin to build some kind of network of associates among other students because they can further facilitate my matriculation throughout my undergraduate experience.

If i could go back in time as a high school senior, i would explore my career options alot deeper.

I would advise every student to try to go on a college tour and get an up close few of schools they are considering, because it's not always as it seems in a picture or on the internet. As for parents I would just say support your kids decision on where ever they chose to attend. They should be some place that makes the happ, and comfortable, versus your feelings. Back to the students, strive to do your best where ever you end up, and aim high, set high goals, and do your best to achieve those goals. Stay focused on your eductaion, your social life is not more important than eductaion, because education is the key to sucess.

The advice I would give parents and/or students about finding the right college would be to look at everything the college has to offer. Look at financial aid, living facilities, city life, and the course of study. The advice I would give about making the most of the college experience would be live in the moment. Don't worry about the small stuff, just take the time and enjoy these years. These are the best years of your life. Everyday is special. Enjoy your friends and really take in what you are learning.

Making the right decision is life altering and scary at times. Sit down and really think on what you want to do in the future. What is your passion and what do you like to do? Always be open to new things because you never know what you may like. Never change your morals and values just to fit in because there are other people around you that believe in the same thing. College is a new place and environment to really find out who you are as a person but academics come first. Picking the right school should be based on academic excellence, great environment, and financial means. The best school for you meets all your needs. Always visit your top three choices because you will never know if its the right school until you visit the school and feel the environment you might be in. You need to have a love for your school and a passion for the goals they set for you. I love my school and we fight through the hard times. Making the most of your college experience is staying true to yourself and open to different ideas.

I would tell the parents and students to make sure that they choose a college for the right reasons. They should concentrate on what type of academics and learning environments the college provides. Also when choosing that school make sure that you take advantage of the college tours and other information that is provided by the college. While in school I would suggest that the student attends most of the on campus functions and activities. They will be able to meet and interact with other students which will make their college experience more exciting.

choose a school that you feel is right for you

I would advise the parents and students to visit the college's website and see what the campus can provide for their interests; whether it be the best major for them, activities, etc. I would also advise them to visit the school's campus and ask the current students there on how they like the school, would they reccommend someone to attend it, how do they feel about the campus' safety, and how would they rate the school overall on a scale of 1 to 10.

My only word of advice is for parents to let your child make their own decision, even if it means that they're farther than you would prefer and be supportive. As for the students, choose the college that you truely think would be more beneficial to you, don't base your decision on what college your friends are going to. Make sure you visit their websites to find out as much as you can about their class sizes and succcess rate.

well i guess i would say that they should do the best they can to find out how much assistance the professors provide, because it will makes learning a whole lot easier if they actually care about whether you learn anything or not

The best advice I can give to a student who will be attending college is to be very selective about the schools you choose. Do not decide on a school because it is well known for parties and fun, visit your top choices that you have and you will know which campus and environment is the best for you. Also, when you have finally decided on a school be sure to have an open mind and go into the college experience with great optimism and a strong desire to help positively affect the world. Get involved as much as you can and get to know the people on campus, from student to professors, you will have something to learn from all of them.

I would suggest that your junior and senior year in high school should be filled with college decisions. Finding out what the future college student wants to do with their life and then planning the necessisary steps to get their. Also, a few back up plans in case the student changes his/her mind during undergraduate courses. Parents should be over supportive almost like cheerleaders for their children during college. Children should use the support of their parents along with on campus personell and offices to excell in every area of their college life. All in all, I believe that a good sense of communication with teachers, students, administration, workers and co-workers, family, and friends will be benificial to all incomming college students. Always remember that information is always waiting to be discovered. As a college student we must find it.

I would tell parents to make sure the school is accredited and known for reasonable numbers of graduating students. I would tell students to be aware of the location (there's no place like home!), remember why you came to college, and to be smart about the choices you make.

I would encourage the parents to put their natural parenting instincts in reserve for a couple minutes while choosing the right college for their child, because ultimately it is the child, student, who has to live the college experience and sometimes going through things and learning the hard way is the best way for teenagers like us.

Research.

Make sure that the person attending college wants to continue education and has goals set forth to achieve. If the student doesn't have the mind-set of attending college then they are just waisting their time. College is a great experience and not everybody gets the chance to experience it. So enjoy every time you get because once your time is up you can't go back.

Parents should research the major that their child want to get into and make sure it will be a good school to help the child grow in the learning experience
