Georgian Court University Top Questions

I would have told myself to get out, see the country as I did, but to then get down to business, stop wasting time and go to school. I would also tell myself to get the Ascociates degree, pay attention to grades sooner, then transfer to GCU and live on campus at least one semester while I am still young and unattched enough to do it and enjoy it. I would also tell myself what I wish a financial aid counselor had told me.. "Do NOT take out any more in loans than is absolutely necesary". Other than that, I think I made the right choices in my life.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself when I was a high school senior I would tell myself to visit all of my choices for college before making any decisions. It pays off in the end to know what you're getting yourself into. I would also tell myself to apply for three times as many scholarships as I did. College is expensive and any free help needs to be taken.

Stay focused don't loose sight of my goal. Use all of the services my school provides. Such as free tutoring, book vouchers, career development, the weight room, and the library. Find ways to not have to spend my money for something. Whether it's books, a trip, fitness, food, anything that a college student usually spends money on. Talk to everyone, build my network. Always look and be professional, you never know is looking or how your actions are going to effect you late in life.

I would tell myself to search and look into colleges better. Think about what I really want out of life before I make a desision.

This is a very hard question to answer. Finding the right college is difficult especially if you do not know how or what to look for. The most important factor may be to find a school that has the major or carreer that you, as a student, are looking for. If and when you visit, make sure you feel at home on the campus before deciding.

Make sure the student goes on a tour of the campus and does an overnight, just to make sure thats where they want to attend.

The advice i would give someone about there decision of choosing a school would be to choose a school that is most similar to your lifesyle. because then you will fit in easily. In addition, choose a school with high graduation rates.

Allow the student to make a decision in a college on what FEELS right to them. Ensure that the curriculum at the school matches your expectations of college and that the social life equally matches your wishes. Try not to make a decision based on financial aid because that may always change. The college of your choice should feel right from the moment you step on campus until the day you graduate.

The most important advice that I would give to any parents is to let their child attend a school where he/she feels the most welcomed. Making a child attend a school where they are not 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} into is a dis-service to the child. The parent must support and provide encouragement to any students to whatever school they want to attend.

College is a big step for many people and they will meet new faces and have tons of different experiences. It is important that the college you choose will help you become the best version of the person you want to be. When selecting you should look at aspects of the school such as class size, campus location, and diversity, because these are the factors you will have to deal with for the duration of your education. By picking a college that fits your needs you will become more tolerant of others and learn how to work as a team while getting the education that can take you where you want to go. Once you have found the perfect match the biggest thing to remember is time management. A lot of students get swept up by their new surroundings and friends but it is important to balance your work load and your social life because, let's face it, college isn't cheap. So don't waste it! Finish that paper then go have fun, join clubs, and make friends because college can be a great experience. You just have to decide what you want and go for it!

My advice to student is to make sure that you really want to go to the school you choose. my mother always told me that money was no option, even though we can barely afford the school im going to now. she just wanted me to be happy with my choice. that was a very comforting feeling, and thats the best advice i can give to parents. make your son or daughter feel comfortable with thier choice and always support them.

Live on campus and do your best at what you are studying!!

I would want to tell students looking at colleges and trying to find the one for them to look at all that are available to them, and go for the tours for each. I think students need to consider if they like the campus and its size, the dorms, and the class sizes. Definately students should do some research to find out if this is the best school they could go to for what they want to do. The most important thing however, is if the school feels right. When I picked my school I loved it at the tour. Once students get to school they are tempted not to go to class and once in a while everyone needs a mental health day but don't make it everyday. When it comes to school work and classes, just make sure you go and get all your school work done. The most important things for new students is to remember to have fun too, get involved as much as possible. They need to be silly and outgoing, do clubs and sports what ever is available, it makes all the difference. It will give them something to look back on.

Before choosing a college to attend, it is important to go on campus tours and to figure out what your major will be before enrolling.

Visit as many schools as you can to find the perfect fit for you.

If you are looking for a college don't only look at the programs for your major also look at the neighborhood as well as what different activities they have on campus. Another priority is making sure that your student feels like they fit in. It's almost essential for being in colege that you truely feel like you belong and have a friend on the campus.
