Kennesaw State University Top Questions

Make sure you enter into a field of study you enjoy. Think not of it as work but something you enjoy doing everyday. As far as a transition, everyone has to go through it. You are not alone. Make sure you make new friends and open up. And don't be afraid to talk to your professors no matter how intimidating it may seem because they are there to help you succeed in college. One huge piece of advice is exactly what I do as a time management technique. Think of college as a typical work day for most people. get into a Monday through Friday 9-5 schedule routine and devote it to college classes and work. I have found it really useful and it allows for me to have my evenings open to be with friends or work. College is a crucial time in our life. If you can survive this, life will be just as easy. Enjoy college. It will be the most memorable moments in your life.

If I could go back and talk to my high school self as a senior and would say not to stress out so much. College is a lot of fun and is not as stressful as everyone makes it out to be. I would stress that I should enjoy senior year and have some fun and not worry about grades all of the time. I would also tell myself that I will not lose touch with my friends, so there is no need to get so upset about going to different schools. I would remind myself that I'm beautiful no matter what anyone says. I would let myself know that it may be hard sometimes, but my eating disorder stays under control and in remission; there is no need to worry about relapse. I would mainly say, trust yourself, you're a good girl and will have fun in college!

I would tell myself that it all works itself out, and worrying and being scared are truly a waste of time. If you do the work that's asked of you and learn to ask for help when you need it, you'll be just fine. Accept the responsibility given to you by the school and your family; college is where you can make adult decisions and feel the adult consequences, but still get help very easily if you ask for it. Enjoy your freedom and relax. You'll see that things really do work out in the long run, and you'll end up looking back and wondering why you were ever so worried in the first place.

First off i would have given a lot more effort in high school. I continued my education at a 2 year community college and then transfered to a tecnology center where i got my LPN licence. I think that i have made wise choices in my life but i still think that if i would have given a little more effort in high school that i would be futher along in my education. My best advise is to do as many college classes while in high school. I did take two but they are cheeper in high school. Thank you for your consideration!

The primary advice to know is appliance. One must apply themselves completely in education during highschool. Every lecture and class during highschool provides one with the necessary knowledge needed to succeed at a University. Also, make sure to study very efficiently for the SAT/ACT because it is a very important factor when deciding which college to attend. Another important aspect is the GPA. The GPA should be as high as you can maintain it because it also contributes greatly to ones college choices. Most importantly of all, always study and be on top of things in order to succeed. Make studying and concentrating a habit because it is essential when participating in a University.

There are three things that I wish I had at the forefront of my mind when transitioning into college. First, I would give myself the advice to learn to study efficiently in groups. With so many extracurricular activities available along with a great deal of unstructured time, learning how to effectively and efficiently study in groups allows for a designated time for studying while also making commitments towards others and still engaging is a social activity. Secondly, I would tell myself to be open minded to all groups of people. In high school, groups and "cliques" are formed based off of many socio-economic categories, many of which do not create groups in the college environment. Engaging with people from different cultures, different age groups, and with different life experiences is equally a part of the college learning experience as attending lectures. Lastly, I would tell myself that the most difficult aspect of the college transition is not the course material, but time management. Spending time to schedule the next day, the next week, or the next month is more than half the work of being successful in college.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself I would tell myself that I need to study more and not work so much. I would also say that college is not so bad and that I should not worry about it, but to be excited about it. I would also make sure that I take my grades a little more seriously so I would not have to play catch up in college. Also, make good study habits so it will benefit me in college and help keep my grades up. All in all though, just be excited and look forward to going to college!!!!

I would give myself the advice to put forth a little bit of extra effort to earn HOPE scholarship. Unfortunately, I graduated high school with a 2.96 GPA; if I had earned one less C and one more B I would have had exactly a 3.0 which is HOPE scholarship elidgable.

If I could go back to my senior year of high school, I would give myself one piece of advice. The advice that I would give myself is to stay the course that I was on. With that being said, I enrolled at a junior college for two years after high school. I wanted to go to a two-year college to prepare myself to go on to a four-year institution. I was an average student in high school. I had always wanted to go to a university, but I did not wan't to flunk out. I heard from others that taking the two-year, junior college path would not only prepare you for a four-year university but provide you with the maturity to handle the workload that you will experince at a university. With all the positive experinces I have had in the past year at Kennesaw State, I still believe that attending a junior college prepared me for Kennesaw in many differnt ways. I saw myself mature at handling the workloads I was not prone to in high school and opening my mind towards different people and ideas. that I'm now experincing at Kennesaw.

Listen Evan, college is great. Its fun, energizing and amazing in every way. Even tough its maybe the best thing to ever happen in our life you are going to have to work hard for it. We don't have mom or dad helping us out anymore ,we are on our own! My first rule to us is to stay away from the pretty girls. There are too many of them and they are only going to distract you from achieving your dipolma. Second join a club, its important that we make friends with the same common interests because studying all day can get depressing. Third, when you go to register use a website called www.ratemyprofessor.com that will help ya a lot when making sure you pick the right professors. Fourth study before you have fun, college is a lot harder than high school and you will not be able to wing it like you use to. Make sure you do the work because no amount of play is worth the education. Lastly have fun, college is the one of our best experiences in life. Enjoy it because it will be over soon.
