Lesley University Top Questions

Look at the majors offered and look into an extra curriculars that you may even POSSIBLY be interested in. Also look at what is surrounding the campus and decide whether or not you see yourself going there everyday.

The advice I would give parents and students about finding the right college is to ask as many questions they can. There is never a stupid question to ask, the more questions you ask the more answers you will recieve, the better vision knowing the perfect college. As for a college experience, never hold back! speak to professors and classmates about any ideas or questions. A professor once told me, "dont just come to class because you feel like you have to, come to class to see the best come out of you." in other words, make the best out of it and never hold back. The more you hold back, the more you wont experience, the harder it is to better yourself. We all need the inner motivation and strive for our own succeses with what we have around us. College gives you the opportunity to express ideas with others to better themselves. Asking is knowledge and im thankful of having it. Thank you. - bryan

Students should go to a community college for the firt four years and save their money to attend a really nice school for graduate school. It is still difficult for students coming out of college to get a job, so now most people are forced to attend graduate school. I personally think that graduate school is more important than your first four years. Instead of wasting your money on an expensive college taking classes that really do not have anything to do with your major until your last two years save your money and time attending a community or even state college, espeically if you do not know what you want to do when you attend college.

Work on discovering yourself, and what you enjoy. Try as many new things as possible and takes risks and learn from your experiences. Don't lose yourself in a group of friends.

One of the best ways to make sure the college you're looking at is right for you is by visiting and, most importantly, doing an overnight stay. When I visited my school for the first time, I was convinced I wouldn't go there. However, I decided to do an overnight stay which changed my views completely. This was a time I could see the housing, try the food, and get the insider view of the school. Best of all, I saw that the students there were just like me! After that I was convinced I would go to Lesley, and I did. In order to make the most of your college experience I would highly recommend taking advantage of all the activities and opportunities available to you. Don't hold back, and try something new! Sign up for clubs and teams you are interested in. Also, look into travel courses and/or community service trips your school offers early on. These can be some of the best times you'll have. Overall, trying new things, leads to meeting new people, which will hopefully lead to an exciting college experience and better understanding of yourself.

If you like small schools and teachers who really know who you are this is the place for you.

find one that has you major as one of their top departments. the area aroudn the school also should be a factor.
