Kutztown University of Pennsylvania Top Questions

Don't be afraid to dream big. Apply to schools that have a good reputation for education in your field. Visit the schools you are considering, and sit in on classes if possible. Once you've picked your school and you start the first semester, it's time to make the most of your time in college. Try new things! While in college you have many opportunities that you may never have again. Get involved in a club or a cause; it's the best way to really get to know people and you need to have something besides school to focus on. That being said, don't ignore your schoolwork, but don't let it take over your life either. Sometimes it's hard to balance classes with friends, clubs, family, and personal time, but it is well worth it. Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Learn from them and fix them. You can't achieve true greatness without taking some risks. If you don't like your major, pick a new one. If a project flops, figure out why. Don't prevent yourself from succeeding by being afraid to try. Work hard and have fun in college!

i would tell students that when looking at a school, make sure that it fits several catagories or characteristics that you are looking for in a good school, dont be set on one specific characteristic in perticular. To make the most of the college experience, you need to be able to have a balance in your work schedule and your social life. If you have a hard time doing this there can be some problems along the way.

Please try to visit the college, ask people from facebook their expierences, try to get in contact with someone in their community who goes to that school. GET INVOLVED! and early on too! There are dozens of inolvement fairs, and they have something for everyone! If you like something and its not at your school, there are bound to be people who have the same interests as you! So you can start a club or organization yourself.

It is important to make the most out of your college experience. Lets be honest, you only get one chance. But at the same time, I wouldn't recommend that you get so caught up on having the right colorbed sheets to match your room. No, college is about learning. And not nessisarily in the classroom alone. You learn about life, suffering, courage, patience, relationships, and mostly, about yourself. The major you pick to start out may not be the one you end with...but thats ok! You are allowed to make changes!! So don't let anyone tell you different. You are allowed to take time to discover what you are really passionate about, and once you discover that, you'll be given the oppertunity to experience, learn and eventually live out that passion. When you are seeking out which college you want to attend, it can be difficult. I would recommend you look for a place that you feel most comfortable, and visiting it is the only way you'll know. State schools vs. Private really does not make a difference when it comes down to your education. And money, is never what its all about. Good luck!

Take your time and actually look. Start early because feeling rushed in the end can cause the student to feel like they made a mistake. Try to know what you are interested in for a degree and see how the school compares to others. Also, talk to people at the campus and visit it...at least twice to make sure you feel comfortable with its environment.

Make sure that you'll get you money's worth. Don't pick a college off of looks, pick it off of academic records.

I'd say find the best college for the major the student has chosen and aim to get in that one. Forget about the other details, you want the school that will give you the best learning experience.

Start looking at colleges early. As you get closer to the application time, narrow your choices down by size, distance, setting, etc. then apply to 4 to 6 of them. If you aren't accepted at your first choices, seriously think about whether you would be happier at community college and then transfering to your first choice, or whether you could be happy at your 2nd or lower choice until you are able to transfer. To make the most of your college experience, get involved! Clubs, sports, on campus jobs, anything that gets you meeting new people, and making new friends will help you feel like you are a part of the school.
