LIfe is not going to turn out the way you have it planned! So take some risks and do what it is that you know in your heart to be true. Follow the big dreams and don't settle for less than what you desire. Don't worry about the little things like GPA and your silly girlfriend. The plans you think that you have and the way you picture your life turning out is going to be completely different in 4 years. My advice: TAKE ALL THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT COME YOUR WAY. You are going places and these small oppotunites are going to take you to BIG BIG things down the road. LIVE HARD!

I would tell myself to not be afraid to go for what you want in life. Don't wait until your mid thirties to take that step.

don't give up on your dreams and listen to your heart

Moving into college is a big step in your life, a step that not everyone has the opportunity to experience. You only experience it once in your lifetime, it can be very hard for you to do this if you are not prepare. In order to get ready for this step you have to do work hard on a few things. First able you have to plan out how you are going to pay the tuition, contact your administration office of your recent school, talk to your parents and find out how they can help; whether they going to support you (if any support), you must apply for scholarships and grants. Once you have figure out how you going to pay for your college, now is the time for you to start looking for the colleges you desire to go, and find out what are the advantages of each college and choose the one that best suits you. When that day comes for you to depart to college, have your family and close friends (if any) come with you to help you move in. This transition is a big process in your life and it could be unforgettable.

Pick the school based on how the professors and staff make you feel. Not everything can be listed and be perfect, but you can't underestimate the value of good professor-student reltationships. That is what is most important for the educational experience.

The moment I got to the school I am now attedning i new it was the right place for me. Make sure you visit and possible school and if you do not feel comfortable their that is a definite indicator that maybe it is not the right place for you. Also make sure the school is in your price range. It will just be one big headache later.

Concerning choosing a college, actively seek what will give you the best broad education possible. Do not be timid ? hold each school liable to the highest degree concerning weaknesses and give due credit when you find a school that does something well. Use this to gage where your calling lies. This will be your alma mater, your school for the rest of your life. Take hold of the opportunity and pursue it with industrious fervor. And by no means are you to expect that once you are at school that your college experience will simply come to you. No! Be active as much as you can in all number of extracurricular activates, Greek life, music ensembles, and political activism. This is the college experience which you seek when applying to a school of higher education ? this is what it is all about. Much luck to you and your family as you begin the greatest part of your life so far.

I would definitely encourage students to visit the campuses that they have applied to. A visit will allow them to experience the college or university's atmosphere firsthand. When you actually begin college, go out and participate in extra curricular activities. This will help you find a group of people who share common interests with you and allow you to make new, longlasting friendships!

Making the final decision on what college to attend kind be extremelly stressful. It is important for the student and family to visit each college that they are interested in. It is also important that the student base their decision on the career path that they have choosen. I am a nursing major and I feel like the small school environment has helped me to excel in my academics. Being a socially driven person, the distractions of large schools could have lead me off path and into trouble. With all the many scholarships available, the cost of private institutions can be minimized. Go with your gut feeling, any school you choose will feel normal, just be sure that the decision has been well thought out and finalized for the right reasons. To the students, listen to your parents and advisors. Do not pick a school just because you like their sports team or just because your friend is going there. Look ahead into the future and imagine how you would like to see yourself in five years. Pick a school that you feel can help you reach that goal, because remember, this is why you attend college.

Get outside of your comfort zone!! It truly helps you to become stronger as a person, and to become more social which will, in turn, help you as you choose your career path. Pick a school with a lot of activities and clubs, it is great to get involved with people who believe in the things that you do!

figure out what u want to major in.

Talk to a career counselor before declaring a major to avoid wasted time as a undeclared major. Make sure its the right choice for you and the money will follow.

I would definitely advise every student to go to the campus(es) that you are considering and see if you could see yourself adapting the area. Also, I would consider picking a school not because of friends or relationships, instead chose the school that will help you in the future. The school that you will benefit you the best with your goals.

To find a college do not go to a college purely for an athletic scholarship or any other scholarship/financial aid package. The students must love the size and style of the campus as well as the opportunities the particular institution has for students. In short, this college is the best time of your life so you should be at a school you love.

First of all, I would tell parents and students to find a college that offers the student's known major. Afterwards, students should go visit the campus of the school of their first choice on a designated touring day and on a regular day. Get a feel for the campus and talk to the different faculty/staff available to converse with. Once you arrive at the college of your choice, make sure to get to know the students on your hall-believe me, they're just as nervous as you are. While at school, make sure to be involved in the things that interest you and always remember your first priority: doing well in each of your classes. If you have kept in line with all of these helpful tidbits, you're sure to reach success in your college life and in life after college as well!

Talk to students at the college-not just the ones admissions/enrollment are paying. Look up someone on facebook. Ask about stuff that doesn't seem like a big deal, just as much as the stuff that seems really important. Those little things become big things if they build up and it's easier know them ahead of time. Don't worry about what your friends are doing or where they're going. Choose the right place for you.
