Neumann University Top Questions

The advise that I will give to upcoming college students and parents is that to choose a college that best fits them. Parents please dont pressure your child to go to a school because thats just setting them up for failure because they did not want to go in the first place. Students pick a college that suits you make sure the college has the major you want to pursue and the activities that you are interested in. Overall have fun in chooseing your school and good luck.

If I could give advice to parents or students for finding the right college I would say look for a college that best fits the students. For example, I would have become very distracted if I would have attended a huge campus with many classmates. At Neumann College the classroom sizes are very small and less distracting. But, other students don't mind the sizes of a classroom or campus so learning distractions won't be an issue. So my advice for a great learning experience would be to find a college that won't distract you and will help you succeed. Another thing I would advice is for parents to find a college they can afford because paying for college could become a burden to. I advice them to look for colleges that offer scholarships, work study and grants, some type of financial assistance to help you through school. My advice for parents and students is to find a college that best fits you and to set goals and do what it takes to complete them and there will be downfalls but don't let that discourage you and keep trying.

If I had to give advice to a student or parent getting ready to enroll in college, I would advise them to look at the surroundings of the school. It is the one place that the student will see most over the years and it is best that he or she enjoys his or her campus. I would also advise the student and parent to see how much financial aide the school gives the average student. More times that not, the average student gets less money than the dissabled student or the well off student. I would also look at the desired schools website and first off, make sure that they have the aspiring major wanted and extracurricular activities then see how student are on campus. If they're miserable, chances are, you will be too. Then take a tour. This will all maximize your enjoyment and college experience.

The best advice i could give is to go with your gut. Pick a school that you know you are well suited for. If you do not pick a place that you are going to be happy, well it is going to be a long four years.

Do some research about the college and take a visit and see what is like on campus.

I think that many students preparing to find the college for them focus solely on academics. Grant it, I understand that academics is the number one priority when attending college I have also come to discovery that students must look for on-campus activities and weekend life when chosing the college that is right for them. While one school may be the best choice for the students major, they must also be happy with their living environment and their social life. If a student consistently feels out of place or bored then they will find alternative, unsafe activities to participate in. The non-home feeling also tends to cause discomfort which leads to the student having an unsafe or ineffective learning environment. This brings me back to my first statement...college is about academics, but many more things go into learning besides the books and the teachers. Environmental factors also contribute to the level of the students academic achievement, however, when chosing a college this is often overlooked. I believe that this factor should be focused on a great deal more by students and parents when finding the best possible college for the student to attend.

Choosing a college that suits an individuals certain needs and goals is key when deciding to continue your education. When making the decision as to where to attned school, a student should keep their options open. The student should weigh their options and identify the pros and cons for each possible candidate. Applying on time and giving enough time to decide is perinent. This allows a student to be more in control of their selection and have time to think about it . Lastly, getting involved on campus and truly focusing on educational goals maximizes a students college experience. Getting involoved gives a student a feeling of satisfaction and contribution. Focusing on educational goals permits a student to work harder at what they want to achieve and keeps them motivated. All of the above stated factors are a culmination of tips and advice I think would fully guide a student in choosing the right college to attend and how to maximize their college experience.

the advice I would give parents and/or students about finding the right college and making the most of the college experience is that, the main thing that you need to keep in mind is that education goes first. The school's academic records is way more important than how much fun you have there or if it is a party school or not. Parents need to do their research on schools that their children apply to. Do not let them do it all by themselves. It is a family effort. First narrow down the schools and then see how finacially you can afford the school.

I would advise parents and students to never pick a college for one reason, weigh the pros and cons. Students talk to your parents and not only for money. Tell them of your progress they want to hear from you. If you feel that the college or if college overall is not for you don't be afraid to tell them. Make responsible choices don't think that you have to do anything that you don't want to for a crowd, and if you think you want to do those things or think that you look cool think again you look bad and putting them up on facebook is even more wrong, companies look through it, teachers do too. Have fun but find a balance, school is importatnt as well as good friends. Parents know your children's friends, have faith that they can do well don't baby them because this is a critical time in their lives. Be faithful that they can make their own decisions at times.

When applying to a school, be sure to check out the campus first. Make sure the school you choose has everything you want a college to offer, and then some. Do not choose a school strictly for financial reasons, but choose a place where you feel you will truly be happy.
