Florida International University Top Questions

I reccomend the student and parent to research the subject of study and the school's background. I suggest they apply to the school based on the background check done to the school and to make sure the student is sure they want to attend.

College is one of the most important decisions a student has to face. Which college and why? Fist of all, the student must at least have a clue of the major that he is going to choose, and start from that base point; also, whether or not the student wants to move out of the house. The next step is visit the colleges that you have already select. Ask questions, visit dorms, talk to students and teachers, and most important, ask yourself if you see himself as a student of the university.

Make sure to visit the campus more than once. Visit many schools to see how each one differs from the others. Talk to students from the school and ask what their likes and dislikes about the school are. See what kind of activities are on campus and if you see yourself taking part in them because it is important to be involved on campus. Also see what learning resources the campus has and also find out the average class .

The name of the school is not everything, sometimes the school that are close by are convinent and in the end turn out to be better than you had expected. Check out the campus and walk around for a day, just look at the different people that go to school there, look at the facilities. From this you will realize that you want to attend that school and that it is the right one for you.

In order to find the right college you need to find out what you want to get out of the school. For example if you are interested in sports then find a college that has a strong athletic program. If you are interested in Academics then find a school which is well known for its academics. For the student if you want to get a full college experenice I recommend that you get involved on campus. Remember how much you put in, is how much you will get out of it.

I would advise that future students research and visit the schools they wish to attend

I would say to students is to look at the school in person--visit the school. Do you see yourself in there, can you see yourself using the library, walking to class each day. Does it fit you and your personality. What about the accreditation? Does it have your major, don't just pick a school because it looks good or it has a noticeable name (that is a plus, but that is not all there is to a great career). Is it accredited in your area of study. Think about all these things before making a decision about college. To the parents, believe in how you raised your child. Trust that they make the right decisions, because when they go off to college, it is out of your hands.

to take their time and do alot of research with a number of colleges.

I think it is important for student to like the environment. I love hot climate and the diversity of people in south Florida, hence, I love the school I go to. Students need to do research on the school they are going and make sure it is what they wanted, because many students end up transfering to other school in their second year of school, due to the fact that it is not affordable or they didn't like the school. Other tip on choosing the right college is to make sure they have the program student is interested in. In order to make the most out of college experience, students must participate some school activities, such as joint clubs, try out for sports, or just make friends that will last a life time.

They need to find a place where they feel most comfortable. They need to visit all possible school options and see what campus made the biggest impact on them.
