Newbury College Top Questions

"Jon, it's your future self here. I've come to give you good advice on making the transition to Newbury College next fall. While you may be as surprised as I am to have this experience, I want to tell you what I have learned over these past three semesters attending Newbury College. The most important advice is to be organized in your daily activities as well as your assignments. No more procrastinating! As a commuting student you will find out how important every minute of your day becomes. You(we) are determined, intelligent, and goal oriented so start now and focus on your organization skills. It is amazing what you will accomplish. We are well on our way to a bad recession and you will be working two jobs, as well as attending school full time. News flash...it can be done and I guarantee you will succeed. Deans List with Honors is a wonderful reward. Start now and don't cheat yourself by indulging in senior laziness. Give it your best every day no matter what and your college experience will be all you hope for. More important, you will be in charge of your future."

when choosing a school the best advice is to visit when there are other students there, thats the best way to get a feel for your school, and see if you would fit in. allot of schools have overnight programs where you can share a room with a student alredy attending, without parents so you can have a real college exsprience. The only other thing i would recomend is make sure you can afford it for a maximum of 4 years its not cheap, and its hard to come across loans. As long as you have a plan that is realistic you can succeed.

The best advice I could give a student is to make sure it is what they want, not what their parents want. And to remember that education comes first. If they don't have your major but your sport, you need to be able to decide which one is more important. And for parents, the best advice I can give them is to make sure they are behind their child 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the way. Choosing a college to attend is one of the most difficult choice a student can make, and they need to make sure they aren't alone in their decision.

I would make it clear to students and their parents that finding the college that is right for you is a learning process. You need to visit and stay over (if allowed) to really experience life on campus and sit in on a few classes to get a sense of what class sizes are and the teaching styles of the colleges professors. Once you have got a good sense of the campus and what it has to offer, take a trip off campus and just drive around and get an idea of the town and community where your prospective campus is located. it is important to be comfortable and excited about where your campus is located and think about whether you feel like that is a place you could see yourself succeeding and being happy.

Visit as many colleges as you can, an always consider the financial aid package.

Make sure that your student will be able to find a good job after graduating from college.

Try to determine what you want to study before entering college undecided majors just waste time and money

give it your all if you dont like the school you choose you can always transfer dont stay somewhere because your parents want you to.

For parents, ask what you're children want out of a college. Make sure they're happy and not just you. Students, make sure you pick a college that's perfect for you. Don't just pick it because of drinking and bars that they might have around the area. Pick a place where you think you'll be happy in.
