Oakwood University Top Questions

Make sure that, where ever you aply to, it is somewhere where you'll be comfortable. I'm from the west coast, and the south is a huge change. It's affecting my health a little bit, which I wasn't expecting, so make sure you cover all you bases before aplying.

My number one suggestion to parents is, make sure that this place is a place that you would want to come to. Many times parents just drop their children off at a place unaware of its surroundings and things offered at the campus. Some times parents don't care which is why some children are misearble in college. Even though children and parents think totally different, it is imperative they know what is going on and that they feel comfortable leaving their children on that campus. Also, I would tell the parents find a spiritual place where you know demons could not exist comfortably.

Parents let your children have a say in the school they attend. Students listen to your parent's advice. Choose a school where you are going to be comfortable!!! Choose a school for it's academics and not for its partying!!! ENJOY COLLEGE!!!!

When looking for a college/university make sure that it has a strong academic achievement center and make sure the class sizes are what you feel comfortable with. Its always good to go a visit the college. Believe me when you visit a college you get to expierence what it would be like if you went there.

Look for a school that will shape you into the person you want to become. Look for a school that can give you all the opportunities you'll need in order to be a success. Making the most of your college experience means handling both academic and social activities equally; make time for everything.

do your best and have fun!

I would tell students that you shouldn't choose a college and/or university just because it has a nice weight room or a good sports team. Instead, you should go into the classrooms and see how the professors interact with their students. You should also ask plenty of questions to make sure that you are choosing the right college and/or university. Last but not least, you should balance your time between work and play, because if you give to much time to one, you won't do well in the other.

I woud advise parents and or students who are looking for the right college to to START EARLY!! For students who are still in highschool, start yesterday. There are MANY opportunites out there. You want to make sure you've viewd and researched as many OPPORTUNITIES as possible so you can make the best and right descison . It is important that you dont overwhelm yourself, so take it one step at a time. This is a very important step in your life and you want to be sure you take it with an open mind. For parents who want to go back to school, it is key that you give youself time and make sure there is time to go back to school. When you do go back to school, make sure you have time for the children and for yourself. Just because you're a student doesn't mean your parental duties cease. The same advice given to the students can be applied to the parent sutdents. Students need all the help they can get, so parents be patient and as helpful as possible. Most of all HAVE FUN and get ready for the TIME OF YOUR LIFE!

The college years are the most exciting and liberating time of a student's life, and the key to getting the most out of this time is to place yourself in a surrounding that ensures not just academic growth, but spiritual, mental, and social growth. I would encourage both students and parents to choose a college or university that ensures essential development in all of these fundamental areas of life . By placing yourself in such an enviroment, you allow yourself to grow into a well rounded young adult that is fully equipped to take the real world by storm!

Make sure you visit the school and get feedback from more than one person that has attended the school of your choice. Talk with the professors to find out what they are like and ask the students what the professors are like. Research the school, look up what the graduation rates are, especially for the major of your choice. Read the school handbook, to find out about rules and regualtions not mentioned upfront. Check the surroundings of the school and the means of transportation for the surrounding area. Above all RESEARCH!
