Kentucky State University Top Questions

My advice I would give to both the parents and the student that will be entering into college is choose the campus that has a positive environment and ask yourself: how you feel once you are on the campus/ If that is a positive feeling all around, probably is somewhere you will feel safe with your child and money for school in. First, for the parents, make sure your student/child understands the importance of school and that someone, if not yourself, believes in them enough to pay for their education. As we all know college is far from being cheap. Second, for the student, go to school with goals and knowing and believing that you can and will accomplish your goal of being a college graduate that did well while you were in school. I like to think of myself as a good example because in high school I was a decent student, but it wasn't until I got to college that I realized I could be doing so much more. With that, at the end of my freshman year I made the Dean's List both semesters. College can be fun, right along with the education! : )

I believe parents and students should visit the college campus and speak with students who attend the school. When I say attendees meaning those who you just see walking around the campus beacause the tour guides are taught to tell you all the great things. Ask questions about financial aid and housing situations, and any other concerns which may be sugar coated by faculty.

When looking for a college, think about what the student likes. Although they might be there for school, school can't be 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} the only thing they are there for, they need to be able to get out to releave stress. When choosing a college look for that stress releaver.

Make sure u know and are comfortable with the financial situation pertaining to the school. And just choose what you feel is right, not necessarily what everyone feels is right for you, but what you feel is right. Make sure you pay attention to size, culture, and the majors that the school offers.

My advice to a student is to first find out what he or she takes passion in and then find a school that is best suited to enhance his or hers passion. Once the student finds their passion and school, look at the cost of education and the best way to pay for that education. The student should also know, even if they can't get into the school of their choice they must still keep up their grades and possibly transfer into their dream school because once they have the degree from their dream school it doesn?t matter where they started as long as they finish. A student must be serious about their education and have a plan on how they will finish school and an idea of what they can do with the degree they have earned.

Anybody can make it into college, the true challenge is staying in. Know what you want to get out of your college experience; mentally, emotionally and physically. Choose you're college like you would your clothes in the morning and look at the big picture. Focus not only on the college but the surrounding area and the vibe it gives off. Remember college is what YOU make it!

Finding the right college is important. I feel like all students should experience going to school out of state. If you don't like it you can always transfer. Also when you find the right college you will know. It will feel at home to you. You have to make college. Get out explore your options and get to know other students. College will be boring if you don't get involved with activities they have on campus!

Money, location, education, and distance from home

the advice that i would give parents and students while choosing a college would be for them to start early in their decision making (preferably early senior or junior year in high school) and to most importantly be patient with the process. I would want the parents to make sure and be a part of this very important process (both emotionally and financially (of course!)) because us students really need the extra support and encouragement during this stressful transition. I would advise the students during this transition to find a balance early on between studying/work/and fun because this is an essential part of college; learning to manage stress and balance all of your responsabilities. and...lastly I would urge the parents to be patient, supportive and involved in their students lives while still allowing them the freedom to discover themselves.
