Marietta College Top Questions

Vist the campus and try to meet the students maybe eat at the dining hall or attend a class. These are the pople you will spend 4 years with so you should probally meet them to see if you like them. And just make sure you visit the campus.

The number one thing for any parent or student to do when looking for a college is to first stop worrying about money. There are plenty of scholorships and grants and loans that you should be able to find the money. Secondly look at as many colleges as you can, and that means actually visiting the college and if you can talk with the students, and see what they have to say, especially alumni. Try also to look at the curriculum and what classes you'll be required to take.

I would tell a student to follow their heart and figure out if they would rather attend a small school or a big school. Look at a college by themselves without a campus tour guide and try to imagone yourself on the campus, if you cannot imagine yourself there at the school, then the school is not right for you. Location is everything, if you want to go to school in the city, do not go to a rural school. The best advice: NEVER go to a school because your friends or your companion is attending a specific school. Attend a school because you love it, because you want to spend 4+ years there. College is amazing, especially if you pick the right one.

First, figure out if you want a small or big school. Then find a school with a lot of majors so you can choose and rechoose if you want to. Read articles about colleges. Apply early!!! Talk and network with alumni and professors once you're there.
