King’s College-Wilkes-Barre Top Questions

Keep most of the information you learn in highschool. It plays a big part in your classes in college.

I would suggest prospective students to choose the college that they feel most comfortable at when visiting, after all, you will be spending the majority of the next four years of your life there. When visiting colleges, make sure you find out about clubs and other activities that the campus has to offer because you will have more time than you think to get involved at your school. Once you get to school, attend all the orientation events because this is where you could meet many of your friends you will have for the next four years. Don't give in to peer pressure, being your own person is the best thing you can do. And remember to have fun!

When you look at the school, be sure to go when class is in session so you can get a feel for the people there. Don't be afriad to ask questions to students/ faculty about the school. Students should definitly get involved around campus and have fun. Study hard and have fun...but not too much fun. College is a great experience and it flies by, so enjoy it while it lasts!!

The best advice I would give is to visit the campus and sit in with some of the professors in their classes. This is the best way to tell if you feel comfortable at the school. If you feel uncomfortable your learning experience will suffer! Make sure the school has classes that interest you and fit your needs and wants. If you're interested in varsity sports or extra curricular activities and certain clubs, see if they offer them and go to a game or function. Financial aid is always a worry for students and parents. Stop by the financial aid office and see what they offer! Many have their own grants they award to incoming students. Take the time to visit and do some research on your school choices. Make sure the school is right for you!

Plain and simple: just follow your heart. If you do what you feel is the best for you, you will have the best experience. Get involved and make your voice heard. Also, make sure every decision you make is a responsible one because the smallest mistake can change your life forever.

make sure the college and the money are not a hardship. all college have the basic classess, don;'t go to a college just for the name.

First, as a returning adult student, I would begin by encouraging students to do what it took me ten years fo figure out, that is, to do what it is that you love doing. Once you figure out what that is, it is extremely important to find a college that has an excellent reputation in that field. For students who are more comfortable in a small community and in smaller groups, a small college would most likey be the right choice for that individual, where as students who thrive in a big city would more likely enjoy a large university. These individuals would probably feel stifled attending a smaller school. Class size is an important consideration as well as financial aid packages offered by individual colleges, extra-curricular activities and student housing. My advice to parents is to help your child research and choose the best school for their personality, needs, and intended major. Keep in mind that, in most cases, this will be their home for the next four years and therefore this is a very important decision as an unhappy student will not work to his or her fullest potential.

Students should always go where their hearts direct them and parents should always be supportive. College is an important experience for all people and students should go where they believe is best for them. College is about finding oneself and discovering who you are, in addition to preparing one for a future career; if a student chooses a college based on anything other than where they want to go, they may not be getting all that they can out of their college experience. This is why parents need to support their children and urge them to choose the school that is best for them; if a student picks and attends the college that they wish to go to, they will succeed better than if they attend a college that someone else forces upon them. So students, pick the college the suits you best and that you could see yourself happy at, and parents help your kids through the process by supporting them and realizing that what is important is that they are going to be learning about themselves at college as well as gaining experience for a career. College is a vital experience in a person's life.

Try to determine a path you would like to take in life and follow it, remembering to keep your options open. Visit schools when you can and talk to students to get a feel for life there.

My advice is to consider these major points: (1) size of the school, (2) student-faculty ratio, (3) strength of the reputation of the program of interest, (4) location, (5) availability of on and off campus activities, (6) availability of internships, and (7) the ratio of commuter students to resident students. The price of the school is a factor as well, however, there are plenty of opportunities for receiving financial aid and scholarships due to financial need or academic success in high school. Location is a main issue due to the amount of opportunities for employment upon graduation.
