Saint Peter’s University Top Questions

If i were able to go back in time and give myself advice, i would really benefit from that. I would make sure to mention that there is a lot more free time in college than im used to. This free time shouldn't be used to only relax but you should try to look over notes and get involved with different things going on in the school. Also I would tell myself to take homework more seriously because it counts as a large part of my grade. The transition isn't as hard as it may seem, especially in my school it has a wonderful family like environment. There is no need to worry about anything because the teachers are always there when you need their help as long as you make the effort to help yourself.

I would tell myself that anything is possible as long as you have the desire and ambition to accomplish your goals. It does not take a genius to excel in most fields of study, you just need to have determination. Expose yourself to as many different people as possible. It will help you understand different cultures and will be useful in any field that you choose. Make good long lasting impressions on those that you come into contact with because you never know when you will come into contact with those people again. Follow your heart and you will never be steered in the wrong direction.

I would go back and tell myself to try to do your best during the first semester and do not let yor social life mess up your academics and your work comes before anything and also never cram before a test make sure u start studying at least 2 days before the test if you can.

I would say do not wait for anything last minute. Always do things before time so that you dont stress yourself out. And always have a balace with college and your social life. Dont ever give up on college, always think its going to be worth it all one day. Apply for as many colleges you can, and go to the best college that is suitable for your major.

That I would have actually chosen the school that I really wanted to go to.

I would tell myself that having fun while in college is something that many put in front of their studies. I would tell myself that keeping a clear mind while putting fun aside will help me reach my goal faster and it will give me the skills needed for the work force. Having fun is all good, people need fun to get rid of stress, but keeping on top of work will make the experience all the more enjoyable. It will enable myself to enjoy my friends without needed to leave early to do homework.

The first thing to look for is what college scenario best fits you, the student. Then take into consideration the costs of colleges that you want to apply for. Then apply to those colleges and leave none of yourself out of the application process. Being open when applying is a major piece. Then, when you get your acception letters, chose a college and have fun!

The advice that I would give parents and/or students about finding the right college would be mainly to dirst start by asking themselves why are they going to college. The next thing they would need to do would be to figure out what is it that they want to do with their life and if it is their own decision that they are making and not someone elses choice. People have to come to college with the right state of mind and a full set of goals that they must come up with. College is a life long lesseson that should be learned. Students shouldn't take college for granted. Although college is about making choices, this is not somehing that should be taken lightly. Anything that you may see as an advantage to you and your future should be taken advantage of. The decisions that students make should be for that individual student. You should never depend on others because college is all about being independent and making your own choices.

I believe parents should go on campus tours with their sons or daughters so that the parents are well aware in the kind of environment their children are in or will be spending their academic career in. I would also advice parents to make sure they talk to their children about the college life and what goes on in today's world. College could be a very fun, one of the best moments in your life if the person knows how to value it. For all the students, I would recommend to always keep in mind that college is a time to work on his or her future and it should be priority before going out with friends to drink. First and foremost, I would simply recommend them to have good clean fun.

Visit the campus first, and talk to other students.
