Kutztown University of Pennsylvania Top Questions

I believe that while everyone is different, one college can be "home" to many people. Parents and students should choose a college that has an enrollment amount that they feel comfortable with as well as class size. I think class size is very important and will either hinder or help a student depending on what size they prefer. Some students feel more comfortable in a more compact lerning atmosphere and others are opposite. Also, a concern is what job opportunites are provied for interning and after graduating.

choose and area that you want to learn in. The area is as important as the school, if you want a city go to a city, if you want the country go to the country. Look into the program that you want and learn about the paths you can take, before just jumping into them, If you have more than one idea of where you want to go, make sure the school has decent programs in both. Getting a degree can be done at many places, what is different at each school are the paths of getting that degree. What classes you'll have to take in what order, what the classes are like, and what extra clubs you can join are all apart of this. You might discover that the path you'll take at one school will be better than your original first choice.

First and formost a prospective student should come to the realization, by natural processes, of what it is they enjoy. My university experience has been infinitely enhanced by choosing Kutztown for its Psychology/Art deparments because I love both. Once an interest has been established, said prospective student should consult with his/her parents and discuss/search the web/talk to friends/etc. about which schools excel in teaching that particular field. Once the choices have been narrowed down, start making treks to each individually on weekends and time off. Once on a campus, they should alk to as many professors, students and other faculty about what it is that they want to do. Also, the campus itself is very important and they should be sure to choose a school that fits their given needs aesthetically as well as academically. Once all of these variables have been incorporated into a final equation, the solution is their success and satisfaction at choosing a school that will be the launch pad for a new life.

Just go wherever you feel comfortable

Every college will try to make itself sound like the best thing ever because it's a business that wants to be successful. Talk to a variety of students who already attend the university to which you are applying-- they know best!!

The best advice is to apply to every college you have interest in and to also visist the campus and see if you like the location. If you go to a campus just stop a student and ask for his or her opinion of the campus.

Don't go to the school that is in your price range if it doesn't offer your first choice for a major.

I believe that the student should be able to feel comfortable in the school that they are attending. They should be able to find a place where they know that when they get there, there will be time for other things other than academics that they can do that will encourage their college careers to be an experience they will never forget. Parents should help the child with the change from home to college. College in all is a big responsibility because at this time you are looking out for yourself, but with time things feel better. College is a time to explore and have fun while still doing all you can do academically and loving every minue of it.

I would say the best choice on how to find the right college for a student is letting him/her choose it themselves. Students tend to listen to their parents or friends about where they should go to college but the best way to make this decision is to let them do it or their own. My father had no say in where I was going to attend college. I told him that i was gonna make the choice for myself and nobody else could tell me different. Now I am attending the school that i wanted to and I am having a good time while doing it. If I would have chose another school to attend I dont know what I would be like right now. I have met amazing friends that I will have for life and I am doing pretty good with college right now. My life is depended on what I do in college in the next two years and im not going to do anything that will screw that up. So I say the best way to find the college that is right for you is to make your own choice without anybody's help.

Pick what you want, not what your parents or friends want.
