What should every freshman at Seton Hall University know before they start?

Megan

Read the syllabus, read the book, listen to the professor, take notes and do the work...parties are for AFTER the work is done. Spend more time with friends, going home is great but friends can help you more with your studies. Smile more and leave the boyfriend at home.

I would sat that time management is something to focus on. COllege students have a heavy workload and the only way to get everything done is to prioritize and plan out the time. Also, make sure you are up for everything you get into.

I f I were able to go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would have changed alot of things. I would have advised my self of the many things no one my senior year advided me of. I would have advised my self to complete as many scholarships as possible, to visit the campus, and to make sure the correct amount of tuititon.

I would say to myself to take college seriously. Even though you are going to have a bunch of free time on your hands, it doesn't mean that you can watch 8hours of Spongebob and party all night while leaving your school work for the morning. This is not a joke and its very expenisive. There are people that would kill to be in my shoes so I should take advantage of my oppportunities. I would tell myself to work hard but also to learn to balance my social life. This should be the best four years of my life and i should make the most of it while not slacking off in my school work. I would tell myself to make my parents proud because they never got the opportunity to come to a university so this is not only important to me but to them too.

Caitlin, Remember to look into schools that are similar to SHU, your first choice. It is important to you to go to a school that is culturally diverse and respects and has a place for LGBTQ members. You like big cities, so be sure that your school is in or within close distance to a large city. Remember to make numerous, diverse friends, but make sure you can go to a few close friends when you need to talk. It is also important to do well in your classes and get to know the professors and administrators. Your experience will be better if you follow these suggestions. Always remember you can go home. Sincerely, Caitlin

Marie

I would tell the high students that they have to take the classes seriously because this the foundation for college.

For myself, finding the perfect school was taking in all the qualities of my ideal school, then finding the schools that best fit my perfect school. I chose Seton Hall because it was the perfect size with a nice school spirit that was located in a smaller town just outside of my favorite city. I believe that everyone should make the most out of their college experience because not everyone has the opportunity to attend college. Making the most really just means doing the things you love to do, while still maintaining a good GPA. I love theater arts, along with a few sports; so I joined the theater council and played intermural soccer and volleyball. I had an amazing first year and met so many great people that I know I will continue being friends with for a very long time. Make the most of the opportunities you are given, because some people are not as lucky.

Firstly, I would tell people to CALM DOWN! College is supposed to be the best 4 years of your life, and it's not worth the amount of stress that parents and students go through. Do your best in high school and then apply only to colleges you would actually attend. Don't do a top choice, because if you don't get in you'll feel resentment towards everything else. Visit the schools that you might attend and then let your heart guide you the rest of the way. You'll know when you've stepped on to the campus you belong to, that's how I felt when I toured Seton Hall. Secondly, once you're at school, do everything 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c}. Join clubs, work hard academically and sure, party too! If you are dedicated and enthusiastic about your education and your future, only good things will come to you!
