Neumann University Top Questions

Don't screw up. Stay on the books and pay attention to your professors. Remember this is a dry campus and a Catholic Franciscan institution.

Look at more colleges and find which one suits you best. You do not need to decide what you want to do in your freshmen year of college.

I would tell myself that no question is a stupid question, and never be afraid to ask for help. Keep an open mind to everything, and try to get involved as much as possible. In college studying the night before the test will never work.! Moving in with people you do not know will be hard adjustment and sometimes you and your roomates might have confrontations, but try to settle them in calm respectful ways. They say college is the best years of your life and I believe it truly is as long as you take advantage of them.

Look for scholarships!!!!

As I reflect on my life, there are some things I would have done differently in my high school senior year that may have helped me in my first year of college. I had a strong value for education. However, I did not know the best way to navigate the collegiate systems and make my dream of going to college come true. I knew that maintaining good grades were important, however, I did not adequately prepare for the SATs; neither, did I understand the importance of asking for help. I later found that there were people that were willing to spend time to help me achieve my goal. If I had asked and accepted guidance sooner, things would have been much more smooth for me. I would have been able to manage deadlines more easily. Furthermore, mentors assisted with educating me on how to climb the financial mountain that accompanies higher education. This is why seeking further assistance is vital. It is normal to be ignorant of some things, now I know to ask for help. Seeking guidance from a variety of sources can be beneficial for staying on track for a successful college experience.

If I had the opportunity to give myself advice, as a high school student, I would begin by stating the importance of time management and building good study habits. College involves heaps of studying, so learning to manage time in high school will prepare you for time management in college. Procrastination may have worked in high school, but it will not work in college. Get assignments done early and then speak with professors if you need extra help. Another important element of high school is being involved around campus. This is a fantastic way to socialize while strengthening a future resume with volunteer hours. Having a high GPA is one thing, but having both a high GPA and good social skills is another. By getting involved around campus, you will be better prepared to speak with faculty along with building a resume for internships/jobs in the future. College is very expensive, but there are many scholarship opportunities to help decrease the cost of tuition. Speak with faculty who understands scholarships because it is your responsibility to pay for your tuition, so begin thinking about scholarships. To be successful in college, you need to build study habits and get involved.

If I could go back in time to when I was a high school senior I would have saved up as much money as possible. I knew college was expensive, but I never thought it would be this difficult to pay for. In high school I wish I would have taken sports and classes more seriously. If I could go back I would have forced myself to get nothing but A's and I would have been committed to some type of varsity team. Getting outstanding grades and being on a varsity team could have maybe given me a full ride to college or even just more scholarships. If I would have known then what I do now, things would have been much different. Instead of settling for a small, but yet expensive school, I would have gone to a bigger school with more diversity and more opportunities. Overall, I wish I could have taken high school a little bit more serious, so I could accomplish my goals in life quicker and easier.

I would remid myself that I am not alone. I often thought I was alone i man aspects when i first started college. The truth was that everyone felt this way and I wish I woul have reached out more to others for support.

Hello, nice meeting you. So your number one college you'd like to attend is Neumann University. I have visited the school a few times. I can take you there one day so you could have a feel for it. You never want to finalize your decision without visiting the school. When we go for the visit you may want to observe the environment inside and out. Ask yourself, do you learn better in small or big classrooms? Or, are you more comfortable socially in a small, private campus or a big campus with parties? Knowing these things are important factors because it could make or break your college experience. For instance, if you are easily influenced or inexperienced with party scenes, a big party campus may not be a wise decision. Constant partying could put your grades in jeopardy. Temptation is at a high in college. Your conscience would be your bestfriend so use it wisely when it comes to decisions,procrastination, and slacking. The transition from highschool to college is like playing basketball regularly in a school gym to making it to the WNBA. The ball is in your hands, with faith and determination you will score successfully.

I would say to always take things seriously. Highschool is a very important step to getting into a good college. I would say that I needed to work harder and get the grades I knew I could. Just because you have good grades already doesn't mean you shouldn't do the best you can. I would tell myself that life isn't all about sports and I should focus on going to a school that will offer me the best academically fisrt, and not worry so much about getting on a good sports team. THe last thing I would say to my highschool self would be don't be scared. Its a huge step, but you are going to meet some really awesome people who are going to help you through the transition/
