Southern Connecticut State University Top Questions

If the opportunity comes to go away to college take it, being away teaches a person responsibility. It is also important that both the parents and students keep an open mind.

The best advice I can give to parents or prospective students is to keep looking at colleges until they find the best one that suits their own personal needs. I chose what college was convenient to get to, and which was easily affordable. Even though a school might be convenient and affordable, it's not always the best choice. I'm happy with where I'm at, but I do wish I had applied to more schools and looked around more before settling on a state university. If you enjoy where you go to school, it's much easier to succeed. Check out every aspect of the school, including the campus housing, the department you are joining, clubs, dining halls, and even sit in on classes. The more you get involved before you attend the school, the more you will know if it is the right place for you.

I highly recommend a place that requires students to live on campus for the first year. It really gives students the ability to find out who they are and become bonded with their fellow classmates. It should also have a low crime rate and excellent reputation for their teachers.

Follow your heart, if your heart takes you away from family, go with it, don't let people tell you to stay home just spo their happy.

Chose wisely.

Look around and have fun! You should not be so worried about the choice but finding what is the best fit for you the student!

College is never what you expect it to be.

When trying to choose a college I want to advise many to make sure you are comfortable with class size, the campus surroundings and the campus itself and remember that these next years are for you and nobody else!
