San Francisco State University Top Questions

Look into other schools, this one isn't a very good option.

Make sure that the learning institution has all of the resources that you would need, think you might need, or not sure that you will even use. Always make sure that you apply for scholarships (and loans) because there is free money out there that can and will help pay for college. Get involved on campus! Join a frat or a soror or some kind of group or club to help make your college experience unforgettable. Talk to your professors and let them know who you are especially if the class is bigger than fifty. Doing this might help them remember you and you never know what may come from that. They may give you extra time for an assignment or the like just because they know who you are: especially if you have a really good reason. And always study. It's very easy to get on academic probabtion especially during your freshman year( trust me, I know) because college is a new and sometimes intimidating experience.

My advice would go with your gut instinct. Dont think that a school is perfect for you just becuase you were accepted and have seen pictures. Get to know your school, visit, ask questions. The more you are aware of the easier it is to see if the fit is right. Look into important things such as walks to and from classes, the dinnning center, sports and activities. Everything is important when it comes to spending 8 to 9 months somewhere new. Try not to get discouraged if you don't get into your number one choice because there are schools out there that will be perfect for you. College is the best time of your life, choosing it might be stressful and overwhelming, but the outcome is so worth it. Good luck.
