Mount Washington College Top Questions

Do not be afraid of papers due or get intimidated by college professors. Work hard and take one step at a time, your professors and the college staff are there to help you succeed. Be ready to ask questions and do not quit no matter how difficult; before you know it you will be done. And do not forget to have fun.

If I could go back in time to talk to myself as a high school senior, I would definately make sure I convince myself not to wait and jump right into college right after graduating high school. I know I have wasted to many years of my life not in school and giving myself the chance to get a great degree to better my family. Now being a single mother of three beautiful little girls, I know it is very important that I make them proud of their mother and finally get into a field that i enjoy doing. Being able to graduate and jump into law enforcement and financialy take care of my family would be a dream come true. Again thank you so much for the opportunity to enter into a scholarship to help me pay for college.

If only we could all actually do this and remember the mistakes we made along the way, I think the world would actually be a better place. If I could go back in time knowing what I know now, I'd definitely not hesitate to start college immediately after high school. I would have become more aware of SAT and ACT scores in order to get into a university instead of simply a community college, even though it's cheaper. I'd tell myself to do this because by now, I could be off to graduate school, but instead it seems like I'm only just beginning and taking baby steps. I'd tell myself just because I graduated from high school, doesen't mean that's the end of the road - that there's still a lot of work and self-discovery to do and i shouldn't waste anytime.

Take any courses and join any prestigous clubs or organizations that are available. Do not look upon this last year as a chance to goof off. Look at it as a chance to start your future!

I personally would have pushed myself harder to get into a better school. I barely got through my senior year. I would also tell myself to stay focused on school work and studying. I have worked in a warehouse for twelve years. If I had known this is what I would be doing I can guarntee I would have done better. Thats ok we learn from our mistakes and that is what makes us better.

Never procrastinate, work your tail off to get exactly what you want, always have loyal friends at school, have fun with your friends at least once a week at some kind of club at school, NEVER GIVE UP, KEEP YOUR HEAD HELD HIGH, AND REMEMBER: BE WHO YOU ARE AND SAY WHAT YOU FEEL BECAUSE THOSE WHO MIND DON'T MATTER AND THOSE WHO MATTER DON'T MIND in the wise words of the late Theodor Seuss Geisel!

I have learned a lot from my college experience, and therefore have much advice for parents, as well as students, about finding the right college and making the most of their experience. First of all, for the students, apply to as many colleges as you can and visit each of them. Don't pick one because the price is right and limit yourself the variety of choices. Also, when you do go to the college for a tour, if you don't like it be honest about it. Don't simply go to that school because of the work you had your parents do just getting you there, you feel obligated. For the parents, if your child doesn't look enthused about the school you just visited, tell them you are willing to look further. After all, it's money, time, and education you are worried about; don't waste any of it!

look into different colleges. check into the school, the majors who is teaching the classes etc. prices. til you find the right one

I think one thing that is very important when choosing a school is finding one that is right for you. Being a continuing education student, I choose my school because of its convience to my job and home, and because of it's cost. It also has small class sizes which makes it seem a little more personal. Really look into schools and make sure that you are choosing one that works for you.
