Louisiana College Top Questions

i have comment

Be sure to ask any questions you have. Make sure it has what is the most important to you whether it is size or a social school. If you honestly do not want to live on campus make sure you can live off campus especially as an in coming freshman or a female. If you are a religious/spiritual person be sure they have activities and progrmas to enrich this part of your life, do not leave it hanging in the valances. Don't be afraid to try new things and be opened minded. The dorms always look worse at first than what they really are. Make sure wou pick a roomate who has some of the same things in common with you and the same study, sleeping, and cleaning habits. Remember you are there to get an education not to party 24/7 so don't forget to go to class!! If you are used to small class sizes keep in mind that the bigger the school you choose the harder the class room setting will be for you, a small school doesn't mean a poor education.

To the parents of future students, I would advise you to take your child to as many colleges and visit them to see the atmospere that college would give your child. Walk around and visit students, visit the classrooms and talk to professors to make sure they have the interest of the students in mind because thats what college is for, to get a degree and be a better person for it. To the Students, I would advise going to a smaller school and not the big state school because the classes are smaller in size and the professors actually care and want you to succeed. Im an out of state student from Alabama attending Louisiana College and I have never really felt out of place here. I may have payed a little more for my schooling but wouldn't have it any other way. I have met many friends and know most of the student body here and everyone is helpful from teachers to students to registrars office and more. Dont just pick a college because its a "Big Time School" but for what you will get out of the school: friends, future wife/husband, a future, a DEGREE!

This school is only right for you if you are a close minded Baptist who refuses to accept other religions.

Follow God and He will lead you down the right path in life.

Don't take their word for it. EVER. Talk to students at random away from the admissions people, because they will just give you the run around and make promises that you will probably never see fulfilled. Be aggressive about learning the truth of the place, and make sure you go where you'll be happy. In my experience, I went because the cost was low. I'm getting a good education and have made some close friendships, but I hate it at my college. Cost and education are fine, but make sure you'll be at a college where you will work hard but still be happy. DO NOT SETTLE. Find a way to go where you want to be.

Visit the campuses of schools you might be interested in. Spend time with current students. Participate in preview days. Try to attend some classes to get a feeling for the academic atmosphere. Research the area the school is located.

Remember it is ok to have fun while you are in college but you are going to school to learn and better yourself, so find a college that equally mixes both. Your education is so important if I could do it over I would have never quit the first time around now Im 26 and should be working on a masters not a 4 year degree. Find a college that focuses more on their students not parties.

The process of finding the college which best fits your needs, fulfills your expectations, and ultimately becomes the vehicle to your chosen career needs to begin early in your high school years. Thinking seriously early on about what you want out of college and what your expectations are for college life makes a big difference when it comes to the selection process. It?s very important to not only apply to a variety of schools which fit your needs financially and academically but to visit these colleges. Visiting a college campus is vital in your decision making process. Planning for college early also affords more time to find scholarships/grants which will help further your education and ultimately, your vocational opportunities. Be willing to put time and effort into investigating financial aid. Don?t put the college decision off. Begin thinking about it, perusing websites, and talking to people from different types of institutions. In this way you will best formulate what it is you desire. You don?t have to know what you want to do for the rest of your life, but you do have to know where to attend college and how feasible the finances will be.
