Gwynedd Mercy University Top Questions

Make sure you visit a lot of schools and talk to current students about how they like going there. You want to make sure you have enough choices so you can see the differences between schools.

Don't let the cost of the school get to much in the way, it's better to enjoy yourself while you can and go to school in an environment that you will embrace rather than sacrifice all that just to save some money and go to a cheaper school.

Look around at many different colleges- ie- types, palces, sizes- so you know what you truely like and don't like. Taking time to invest in looking, exploring and visiting will definately help in the decision process and later on, a finanical process. Also, doing things as a family would definately be a plus so everyone sees and understands the time and engery that goes into the search but the change in lifestyle that is coming up. Overall, make sure the choice feels right.. you'll know when youa re in the right place.

Tour the campus first. I didn't tour the campus first and I am wishing I had. I wish the campus had more social activites to offer. Our school mainly has sports programs only. Also take a peek in the cafeteria as well because the food at my school is really greasy. If you are going to live on campus make sure the food and dorms are up to your standards. Always apply for finacial aid.

My advice on finding the right college would be to research your interest by speaking with professionals in that career. Many of these people know what schools offer the best programs for their career. Making the most of the college experience is to not be narrow minded and enjoy the pre req classes because you may find a new interest.
