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

Stephanie

Visiting the college before you accept or even apply plays a large part in deciding, when I first visited Radford right there I knew that was the college I wanted to attend. The campus was so beautiful and the size was perfect for me that all the other schools look dirty and too big or too small.

Make sure that students and parents go and visit each school that is a possibility and go on tours as well as meeting the dean of the college, if possible. Also, choose the college that's right for you as a student, don't make your decision based on where your friends are going to go. Make sure that you look at whether or not the college will have the major that you are planning to go in to and look at the teacher to student ratio since some people are able to do better in large classes versus small classes and vice versa. in order to make the most of your college experience just have fun. but make sure that you are able to manage time and study for classes so that grades don't slip. Have fun but do so responisibly and don't make dumb decisions. Always show up for class because more than likely even if it's not required what the teacher says in the one class you miss will be what is on the final exam and that may be what is keeping you from an A in the course.

visit each school and find out everything that is important to you like food houseing activities and what not. and once you have this information make a pro and con list of what you like. then once you apply and get in start you resreach on activities you want to join and what types of things you what to do at you school. make sure you get involoved at a early stage so you can get alot out of college and make new friends

Make sure you visit the school ahead of time to see what is around and to get to know the area, i think that is very important. You should also think about what size school you wouldn't mind going to and the size of the classrooms, whether or not you would mind being with hundreds of kids in one classroom or a more intement amount.

research where you'd be interested, based on what you enjoy and what area of the country you enjoy. do your work, and get good grades, don't spread yourself too thin so you can't get everything done.

When you're looking for the right college you need to see if you can see yourself living there. If you can't deal with little stuff it's only going to get worse. You need to make sure that the town/city is safe. One of the things I like about going to a school that is in a small town is that I feel 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} safe. You also need to know if there are enough things to keep you occupied.

To all, College has been said by most to be the best time of your life, and in most ways that is completely true, but it is not all about the college that you go to, but what you make of that experience when you get there. Yes, you should choose a college based on academics or sports if you are playing any, but if you plan on striving to succeed no matter where you are, then the diploma you recieve will be your reward, not the name of the college. So good luck with your choices and remember, it's not where you are, but what you make of your time there.

Pick a school that you feel a connection with when you visit it. Don't base it off of their reputation or their party school ranking. Look to see if the school has a program you are interested in and go off that.

Let the student do what they think is best fpr them. If the parents raised their kids right, they shouldn't be worrying about anything. If they fuck up, well, let them learn! Parents cannot be over their kids forever, let them fend for themselves.

When Choosing the right college that is applicable and well suited for you, it is important to take into consideration you college's on campus lifestyle. On campus college lifestyle consist of extracurriculum activities, clubs, organizations, and social life. Your college experience is your final experience and explore school it self. Aside from social activities, it is important to stay focus on you purpose in life and what you hope to achieve afterwards!
