Florida Southern College Top Questions

Visit every prospective school and make sure its the right fit. Look at all the facilities, and see if you can talk with some of the students. If its possible stay the night and see how you really like it.

Choose what feels right. Don't take in consideration what anyone else thinks.

Just make sure that you talk to other people besides the tour guide. You never get the true facts about the college from a tour guide because they tell you everything that is good and even some lies.

Make the most of your college experience by doing everything you can and also manage your time wisely between school work and social activities.

You should choose a school that not only suits you academically, but personally as well. Make sure you visit the college to obtain the full experience that the college catalogue doesn't give you.

Find a school that you love. That way, even when you don't want to be in class you'll go because you want to stay at the school and make it worth while. Go to classes at the college before you go. A school where you don't feel as if you're learning will not keep your attention. Make sure that you get involved with people around campus or at least in the community. Not having enough to do drags people down and leads to unhappiness and the want to leave. Learn, stay social, take some classes you don't think you'll be so good at (I'm in Tennis...), take on new experiences, involve family, and don't forget to study!

Let your kids pick a school on their own and live their own lives. If they go off to college by themselves and experience it for themselves it is more likely that they will become overall better people. Don't force them to stay close let them go off and experience new surroundings.

Make sure that you tour and speak with faculty and current students when making your decision. Make sure you pick a college where you will feel at home and comfortable as well as one that has the right academic program for you.

Find out what you do not like first don't try and search for that perfect place right away. Chip away at the negatives you find in schools and then take all the positives and try to find an institution that best exemplifies what you are looking for.

Make sure you look into every asepct of the college. For example, the class requirements, the social life, the extra curriculars, on and off campus job availability, how well the financial aid or business office will work with you and many other things as well. Those things are big important issues that they dont discuss with you at your orientation, or campus visit. Oh and make sure to have a campus visit before hand, maybe go twice, if possible, because everyone will tell you different things! and good luck!!
