Malone University Top Questions

Be open to making new friends. It is very helpful when you live on campus

Take the time to look into many departments of the college not just the one that you are currently interested in, chances are that you will change your mind at some point in your college carreer.

I would encourage any college-seeking people to go online and google all the colleges that you're interested and/or has the program that you're looking for. If you're a people person, go to a big university, if you're a small town person who likes small town stuff then go to a small college. If you love the arts (theatre, art, music) then I suggest to find a really detailed good program. I am going to a Liberal arts college and I hate it because the theatre program is really small here. I hope that what you choose is the best and if it's not, transfer to another college. be thoughtful and careful of what you choose because it's possible that college isn't for you and you don't want to waste your money on it. If you're not sure that you can be college bound then take a chance and try it out. Don't be afriad to go out of state to college because it can be an adventure and you can learn a lot about people. Good luck!

Live. Take your time chosing where you want to be and know that it's okay to change your mind. Changing your school or major isn't a big deal, just live your life the way you need to so that you can have a happy life both in and out of college.

In order to find the right college, I feel that parents and students both need to check out the schools they are interested in thoroughly. They need to ask students, faculty, and staff every question they can think of to get the full and accurate opinion of the school. Once you find the school you're interested in, run with it. Once you get there though, to make the most of it, you have to make sure you get involved in things that highly or somewhat interest you. It's something you will never regret. Even if you didn't like it, you will wind up meeting great people and maybe even make a lasting friendship. Friendship and community is what makes your experience at college the most worthwhile, and if you don't have that, you'll have nothing.

If you are looking for a nice friendly Christian college that is small yet growing and where the professors are there for you and willing to help you out then Malone might be the place for you. It is great to be active in the college. Malone offers a lot of activities to get involved in throughout the year. There are also concerts and theater performances that you can be involved in or just go and enjoy the show. Malone offers a lot of oppertunities to do a lot of different things.

Students and parents, Please take this as advice to you: When choosing a college don't be afraid to try different schools that are not your first choice. Malone was not my first choice and I was really bitter when my mom made me come here, but as soon as I stepped foot onto the campus I fell in love. I enjoyed the tour and all the students stopping to say hi and to ask me what program I was looking into. Once I had considered all my college choices I sat down and wrote down all the positives and negatives for each college. I looked into major, class size, religion, dorming, cost, and resources available. Lastly, this is your choice so make sure you make the right one. Visit a college you are considering more than once and even see if you can stay overnight to see what the school is really like. Staying a night at your future school will show you how the students interact and what activities are available. College is a great place where you will make friends that last for a life time. Choose wisely and enjoy it!

The right college may never be the college you THINK you want to or need to attend. Don't choose a college until you visit the campus and meet the people. Lacking facilities can easily be compensated for by a caring, competent staff and honest, helpful people. Meet the professors in your major or, if you are undecided, talk to the school's admission counselor about the strengths and weeknesses of each department. Making the most out of your college experience is completely up to you. Whether you are a partier or a prayer warrior, you will find community at most colleges if you know where to look. The hardest part is always balancing your academic and social lives. If you can find a middle ground that mixes proper amounts of both, they both seem to intertwine and mingle in such a way that they compliment each other. Your academic successes will cause you to socially prosper and your social life will give you the confidence and motivation to excell academically.

Don't submit yourself to the ideal college situation (Example Division I, Out-of-State, Ivy League School). Know yourself and rank what is important to you (God, Family, Friends, Career, Athletics, Boyfriend) and pick a school that will foster your growth toward those priorities. I made the first mistake the first time and transferred to a place I never considered my freshman year. I was so depressed then and I am so happy now. :)
