What should every freshman at Pfeiffer University know before they start?

During that search for that "perfect" college for you, keep in mind that college experiences are different for everyone so the colleges your friends attend may or may not be the right college for you. Visit colleges and go on campus tours and maybe even sit in during a class to experience the classroom atmosphere. It is important to feel comfortable at your college, especially in your learning environment and class size may or may not be a factor when making your college decision. Ask questions during campus tours, including negative questions such as, "What is your least favorite part about this college?", in order to get the best overall outlook on a particular college. Research the area surrounding the college and be sure it fits your lifestyle.

I would advise taking in consideration all things you want to be able to do with college; your future, your current financial situation, how you want to live while in college, and if you want to work through college. Before deciding on a college, talk to the administrators, find out what the campus is like from the faculty standpoint, then visit the campus and find out what it's like from a students standpoint. Research the area and the history of the school and make sure it's a place you would really want to associate yourself with. Don't pass up the community college experience; it's cheaper, and if you haven't figured out what you want to major in, you can get your core classes out of the way while you decide.

TO go someplace that feels right to you, dont go somewhere where all your friends are going and you dont like go where you want. And go somewhere where your major is.

Ashley

In order to find the right college you need to not only look at recomendations online, but you should also visit the campus. You never really know what the school is like until you've walked on it and talked to students and staff at that University.

Sabrina

I would advise each person to have the ability to understand their level of discipline and commitment to their desired goals. Dont attend a college that requires strict guidelines if you are not mature enough to be discipled and committed.

Choosing a college is a difficult decision. When finding the perfect college, you really have to dig deep down into yourself to think about what kind of experience you are looking for as a student. Visiting college is an importat step in the process of making a college choice. When you visit a campus, do you feel welcome there? Could you close your eyes and picture yourself walking through campus, living in the dorms or eating in the cafeteria? To find the right college, you need to keep in mind your social, political, and religious needs as well. If a college does not offer areas in which will satisfy the needs you have, you might want to check out a different college! To make most of your college experience, you just need to be yourself, and yet open to new ideas! College is about growing and learning- physically, emotionally and mentally! While the decision on choosing what college to attend may seem frightening, once you have made your way on campus, it will change your life!

Join clubs or sports and get involved it will be great in the loing run. Also fill out lots of scholarship giveaways college is expensive. and get god grades, don't waste money

A person cannot choose a college based on the success of a sports team, or the prestige of any other activity. Students should choose a college only after they get a chance to visit and experience the college for themselves. What the students and parents see on paper is not necessarily what they are going to get at a college. It is better to know exactly what one is getting themselves into before they take that leap of faith that they made the right choice. It is much easier to be confident in a decision once there has been more than just research; it takes a one-on-one experience with the school to know if it is right for the student. Once the student decides on a school, that is when they can look more into the sports and activities of the school. It is good to get involved with at least one thing when starting at a new school. Any more than one activity is likely to push a student to their limit.

I would tell them to find a school that makes them feel like a person, not a number. Make sure the school you want to attend has the major you want and the activites you want as well. Visit the school first if you dont like it, then dont go. Adjusting to college is hard for parents and their child so most people try and find a school with a reasonable driving distance. Iam so happy with my choice of Pfeiffer University the school is small and the people are friendly. Good Luck in finding your dream school!!
