Marian University-Fond Du Lac Top Questions

Ask if the school is tuition based or if they get a lot of money from alumni. Meet professors and see if there is a connection, because how professors act can determine whether or not you want to stay in a field of study or not. Be somewhere you feel comfortable. If your not one to go home every weekend, ask someone if a lot of people go home on the weekends or not. Some colleges a lot of kids go home on the weekend.

I would recommend going and looking into all the schools, visit them get to know the campus try and talk with the teachers to understand their methods of teaching better. Make sure you look into the on campus living areas and be sure that they are places that you will want to spend the majority of your time. Look into the library and the resources of the school and what it has to offer try and find the teacher to student ratio to help understand if it will be the class size you are looking for.

The advice that I would give is that make sure you really look into the programs that are offered at that college and to make sure that you can afford to attend that college without problems. You want to be 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} sure that the college that you choose is the right one, there should be no doubt in your mind that it is truely the one for you.

Finding the college is a hard decision. You have to take into account the size and location of the college. Some people can do better within a big college while others do not. Some students' cannot live without their parents or want to go home a lot. That also has to be taken into account. Lastly, you need to have a campus tour to make sure it feels like somewhere you can attend and potenially live.

To find the right college, you must be sure to check out every option available, including price, what the school offers, how many years it will take to complete your education, and the all around different options. When visiting campuses, pay attention, you will know when you set foot on that particular campus if you are going to attend it or not. Also, make sure to apply for schools, loans, and scholarships far ahead of time, otherwise it might be too late. As far as being on campus, don't be afraid to make new friends from day one; those people are going through the same things as you are. Don't stress about the little things, and participate in organizations. Make sure to socialize and not stay in your room constantly doing homework, or working all of the time. Take advantage of the professors, ask questions, that is what they are there for.

The college admissions office is very helpful, but remember that they will filter what you hear about the school. To get the "real" story about life on campus, talk to students you find on the sidewalk. Make sure you talk to students, staff, and faculty that are not involved in recruiting. They are much more likely to tell you exactly what they think. Also, make sure you can afford the school you choose. You don't want to graduate in an economy like this, with $50,000 or more in debt and no job. The financial aid office really does want to help, but there is only so much funding available. Don't overestimate your expected aid, or you will be paying off loans for a very long time. Finally, get involved on your campus. Join a club, an intramural sports team, or any student group. You will get to meet other students, and will enjoy your campus experience much more. It's much better than sitting alone in your room doing homework!

If you are unsure of where to go, check out as many places as possible. Try to find where you are most comfortable. College is going to become your second home, so make sure that you like it and feel like it could be that kind of place for you. Pick the campus size and city that you like best. If you are not happy and do not like the college that you attend, you will not do enjoy college. Get involved as much as possible and put yourself out there. Have as much fun as possible and be ready to meet new people. Even when it seems overwhelming, keep a positive attitude. College is going to be one of the best parts of your life, so enjoy and make the most of it!

My advice to parents and students is that it takes time and it is difficult to find the right college, especially if the student plans on living on campus. Finding the right college can mean many different things for students and parents. It can mean the cost of the college, is it affordable? the size, how big is the school, or how many students are in a classroom? And how far away is the school from home? Before choosing a school, students need to look into all of those matters, because it's important that students attend a school that they like and feel comfortable. I recommend that students go away to college because it is a great experience to have. It allows students to become independent, which comes hand in hand with time management. I would most college kids have a hard time managing their time because in college there's so much free time, and it' allows them to decide what to do with their time. Some choose to use their time wisely, and most choose to use it ineffectively. But overall, living on campus allows students to grow and mature, which will help them in the future.

Look for something that fits you. Find a place where the class sizes are conducive to your learning. Look at the overall campus in terms of extra curriculars, quality of program, price of program, and location.

I thing that I didn't consider when choosing a college was the proximity to my parents. I attend a college less than half a mile away from my home. While it is very nice to save a ton of money (food, housing), a bit of the "college experience" was lost. Living on campus gives many more opportunities to attend social events or join groups. Also remember to ask about class sizes. My school has very small class sizes which promotes sharing and discussion. The largest classroom on campus holds 40 people, which is very cool.

choose what you love and go for it. Don't worry about job outcomes as much as your passion and what's in your heart.

Make sure the college you pick is a college that fits you. Also make sure when you get to college to meet new people, make new friends, because I believe it is true that you meet your closest friends in college. The most important thing is be yourself!!

Provide your student multiple choices of colleges to go to, so they will get the full choice in deciding which college they want to spend their college career at, making sure to have time to contemplate each and every choice.

Students- Make sure you look at all your options when picking a school. Make sure that you won't be too deep in debt, but a place you know you will enjoy. Take what your parents say into consideration, but make sure they are not making the decision for you. Parents- Try to be supportive of your student, if you force them to a college, they have a better chance of hating it and transfering. Make sure to be there for them when they need you, and dont get to controlling of them when they come home, (when you do that they are less likly to come back to visit as much).

The best way to a student to live the college life is to live on campus. I myself do not and I wish I could. Not only would I be more active in school, but I would be able to meet a variety of people and have lasting relationships. Make sure to use the library to its fullest along with asking questions of teachers. Do not be afraid to ask for help, it will be worse if you dont. I had a hard time speaking up in class which is hard since most of the courses required discussion. Overall, you will only hurt yourself if you dont make the best of it!

Definitely look at the class sizes and the one-on-one attention from the professors. Also, look at the support and counseling that is offered so the student has someone to fall back on should they need it. As for the student they should put in all their effort from the start. Don't take any day for granted and look to each experience as something to learn from.

The advice I would give to incoming students and parents would be to find a school that best fits their needs. Some needs would include costs of tuition, housing, and meal plans, financial aid offered to the students, scholarships available to students, caring faculty and staff, and potential majors. Students need to take all of these needs and many more into consideration when choosing a school. Another piece of advice I would give to them is to get the most out of their college experience. I would tell them to consider schools that have good extra curricular activities and good opportunities for finding a job after graduation. I would lastly just tell them to compare schools and do all the research they can on potential schools. Touring and getting information from the school websites is a vital part of choosing the right school to attend. Choosing a college is one of the most important choices a student and their parents will face, so it is very important to get all the information they can.
