I would have to say that one must seperate their time wisely. Do not porcastinate . I does a takes a toll on your sleeping habits as well as your mind. Plus, try not to worry about what people think about you and just be yourself. It isnt high school any more and people are a little more mature. Also if your going to do sports be a student athlete instead of a athlete student. Its very rare that peopl get professional sports jobs and you need to have a back up plan. Oh and one more thing just have fun.

Make sure that you look at many different schools and find the school that is right for you. Not one school is right for every person. The more that you look at the more you will be able to find one that works for you and where you fit in. Parents, don't force your children to go to any particular school; help them to make the decision of their choice. Support your children in the educational choices that they make, whether you agree with it or not; it's their education, not yours. Students, have fun no matter what and find the right group of people for you to hang out with, you'll love all of your four years if you can do that.

I would tell the prospective students not to go to a school just because one of their friends is going there but because that school feels right for them. They need to have a personal connection with the school and not just go there for athletic or academic reasons because i feel as if they wont be successful. Also some advise would be to choose the right group of friends. Dont hang out with people who go out to bars and party if you dont like to do those kind of things. Dont give into peer pressure! I dont have much advise for parents but one little note would be dont treat your child like their still living at home. They are adults now and have to grow up, make their own decisions, and learn from their mistakes. Overall college is the way to go and i would recommend it to everyone!

Really research your perspective schools and go visit them if possible to see if its right for you. Find out every little bit of information about the college as you can. To make the most of your experience you really got to get involved in the campus activities, it's one of the easiest ways to meet new people and friends.

I believe it is necessary to have the experience of a day at the college when school is in session. Sometimes, highschool seniors are presented with a biased version of life at the school from current students or recruiters. Attending a school visiting day is not enough to figure out the bad side of a school. I wish colleges and universities offered the option of attending classes and living in a dorm for several days, so incoming students can make a more informed decision based on the experience of social and academic life.
