I would tell myself how to prepare for my matriculation into college. Studying is a virtue, only kids how work hard and prepare are successful, however there will always be time to have fun. Think about this once you graduate you will be able to have it all, if you work for it. Life is short, so do you want to be someone who was here or do you want to be someone who was and will be remembered.

I would tell myself to study harder and more efficitiently and talk to my teachers more.

Make your hobbies profitable and develop your set study habits in high school so you don't need to come to college and figure them out.

The advice I would give is to pick the best college that would satisfy you, because you want to get the best out of your college experience. You want to pick a college that has a well balance of everything such as social, extra-curricular, athletic, and most importantly academic life. College is one of the best experiences you can have, and you want to cherish and remember it for the rest of your life.

Look for a school that will ensure your child a great future. It may cost some serious cash, but if your child applies his/herself, it will pay off BIG!!!!

Find the college that best fits you. There are no excuses why you should not go for a higher education. You are not to old to be educated.

It is essential that a student knows what they want to gain from the school they choose to attend. He or she has to know that there is a commitment that is made to the school. One has to know the relationship between institution and student is give and take. In order to make the most of an experience, one has to be able to find a social comfort level at the campus. An individual who is introverted may have trouble doing so. Using all of the resources at the school can also make everything on campus easier.

As a current degree seeking Man of Morehouse College I definetly think that Morehouse choose me instead of vice versa. As a high school senior I did not plan to matriculate into a college I was just ready to be done with school. But little did I know my mother had other plans. She told me this was the place for me and made me apply. I waited for about three months after I sent in my application. During those three months my mother cried, stressed, and sweated and doubts of me not getting in. After those long three months I was accepted. I never thought that with all the great historic men of this fine college I a "Diamond in the Rough" would be honored with the opportunity to wear maroon in white. So I say to parents and aspiring college students the school of your choice will pick you. Your preferences, your personality, your fears, everything you ever dreamed or wished about, your true love, what was meant for you; will present itself onto you. Because all your life you were born to attend that school. Just as I was born to one day become a Morehouse Man!

There are so many options so don't hesitate to do your research on the college to ensure that you will be happy there. Once there, be sure to study first and party last only as a reward. Get involved and have fun!!!

Morehouse College was not my first pick, and i know for a fact that i am in the right place! My advice to propective students of any school is that you never really know a school until you actually attend, don't panick if you don't get your first choice.

its your life, live it the way you want o and to the fullest!

I would tell parents and/or student s to pick a school not only based on its academic qualities but also on the campus activites and the environment . Inorder to make the most of a college experience you should not be afraid to enage in activities.

The first step is to understand what it is that you are looking for in a college and to understand what it is you need from your college experience. Before entering Morehouse College, I had very little exposure as a man of color to other men of color. Additionally I could be qualified under the category of generally irresponsible. I knew that I needed to address both of those particular areas. Once I knew what I wanted and needed from my college experience the choice became abundantly clear. This first step is pivotal to positioning yourself at the best school to maximize your college experience. The next step is to be active in the campus life at your selected institution. When you arrive, you won't have the faintest inkling about which way to go. Becoming involved with campus activities early will help you to gain an understanding of what it is you wish to do and where you wish to end up. Being active on your campus will also open you up to an entirely new network of friends who will undoubtedly make your time there exceedingly enjoyable. Follow this simple advice and you'll love your college expereince.

The best advice I could possibly give when choosing an institution of higher learning to attend is choosing one that you love. Do not get caught up with how you are going to pay for it, or which one my parent wants me to go to. Pick the one YOU want to go to and everything else will fall into place. At the end of the day, you are the one that will have to attend it; not anyone else.

Advice that I give to both parents and students is that college takes both hard work and sacrifice from both the parent and student. From a student stand point the sacrifice is aultering your social life to perform well in your field of study. Students should and need to understand that college is a business and the money that is used to pay for school either borrowed or payed out right is money that is non-refundable. If you fail a class you wasted your money, and your parents money. College is a time to develope and grow as an indivisual when I say alter your social life im not implying not to have one! Just place your priorities in an order that will make you a successful student. Inturn success in the classroom will give parents confirmation that there child is having a good constructive college experience that will further show that there child makes sound decisions when it comes to there own future. My advice to parents is that your childs college experience is there "own" give your child space to develope into the person that you layed the foundation for.

Parents should let the student make the decision and the student should research and decide what they want out of their education and campus experience before making a decision.

I would first like to inform parents that college is when the student really gets to explore and learn new things about themselves. Its an opportunity for students to live life without having mom/ and or dad rite by your side. Advice to parents would be to let there college students go to the college that they choose and dont force them to go somewhere that you have a liking for. Theres nothing like having to go to a college just because your parents made you go there. It makes the college experince for students a lot to know that it was our own choice to go to a college that we feel best suites us and not our parents. As for students, choosing a major that best suites you and what you want to do in life is very important in deciding for your college career.

The right college for you is the one you feel a since a home and feel like you can be successful at. The college experience is a wonderful time I have never experience anything like it.
Andre
The right college for a student is based on which college would provide you with the best surroundings for success. The college you choose should provide resources that will inhance and prepare you in your major of your choice. It is imprtant to find a college in which the surroundings best fits your personality. The more comfortable you feel, the more you will succeed. To make the most of college experience one will need to make friends, and have some kind of agenda to provide the right time to complete classwork and get involved into school activities. Laziness will lessen your college experience in which many school or non-school related activities can be missed.
Aaron
Parents/Students should always do their research on what institution. Yes, friends and family influence decisions but at the end of the day, it is about you attending the institution and setting the foundation for your future. If you are not happy at your school, do not be afraid to transfer and go somewhere where you will be happier. The college experience only hapens once so you should be able to live it up.
