Southern Utah University Top Questions

First of all, I would decide how big of a campus you want, and if you want a place with higher or lower competition. Also, going and taking tours on campus can be a really good idea so you can get a good feel for what the place is like and meet the students that go there. Just talking to the recruiters can be a bad idea, since it's their job to make the campus seem like a perfect place. If you know anyone who attends the college, talk to them first - they experience it first hand and are more willing to give all the pros and cons. Also, making the most of the college experience is completely up to you. You have to take the innitiative to make new friends, get involved and do well in classes. Socializing is a big part of college, but having too much of it can result in bad grades - and that's the fastest way to ruin the experience. Also, make friends with the students and professors in your department, they're the people who you'll be spending a lot of time with and can result in long-lasting friendships.

Making the right choice of which college to attend can be a daunting task. In my search for the right college, I talked to many current students of the schools I was considering. I considered my parent's opinion and the choices that my friends were making. In the end I chose not to attend the school that my parents would have chosen or the one that my friends chose either. I chose the school because while visiting campus I felt at home. Feeling comfortable in your surroundings is invaluable. Make a choice that you can be happy with for at least four years. While at college I found it was a very good choice to live on campus for my freshman year. It is a wonderful and easy way to make friends. My friends from the dorms are still my very best friends in the world. Because everyone is new and in the same boat, the dorms are an excellent place to meet people to help you brave the challenges ahead. College will be a wonderful experience, especially if you feel comfortable in your surroundings and make good friends to share it with.

Deciding on which college to attend can be a very tough experience. So much of the future is determined by this single decision and can play a major role in who one becomes. To those approaching any major decision it becomes imperative to weigh all the options, rely on the facts you already know, and ultimately to decide on what feels right. It is also very important to be yourself and seek to attend a college that will assist in making you a better you. Your identity should not be lost through the decision making process, rather it should be forefront on your mind. Though the process and final decision of matriculation can be rigorous, its important to endure it well. Ultimately, once the decision has been made you must seek to do all you can to succeed. No matter where you go, you can still be the better you and grow to become who you want to be.

To the students I highly suggest finding a school that fits your personality and makes you happy. Don't just worry about the school's rankings and such. It won't matter that you're in a top 10 school if you don't love it, because you won't learn as much. Finding the school that fits you will not only make the transition from high school to college easier, but it will ensure you have a better college experience and learn to your greatest capability. To the parents, although your support is much needed, alow your child to make their own decisions. It won't do the student any good to feel forced into the decision of which school to decide. I found a school that I loved, and although my father told me I shouldn't go there and could do much better, I had the best year of my life and learned more than I ever would have expected. My father now admits that I was right and found the perfect school for me.

Parents need to let there child decided where they want to go or else they will be miserable in the enviroment they are placed in.

Make the choice wisely, and choose what feels most right. Choose a school that you feel comfortable at, and get involved with everything you can.

Look at the city and the life of the city. Pay attention to what you feel when you visit the area- is it friendly, safe, do you trust the people here? When you visit advisors and other help on campus have lots of questions available to see if they can answer your questions and if they cant how do they go about finding those answers for you? Also! get a second opinion of big decisions!! Dont always assume that someone yuo speak to knows what they are talking about all the time. Make sure the people here are willing to support their students and go the extra mile to ensure student success; afterall, your paying for it! get the experience you expect , want and deserve!

I advise students to find a school that fits them well that they will love. I advise parents to support your student in their own decision and not force them into choosing a specific school. If this is done the student will enjoy their time much more and therefore learn more effectively.

LIVE ON CAMPUS!!! That is the best way to make new friends that will help focus and still be able to have fun.

I think the most important thing we need to look for is how much thing (or opportunities) we can get. In order to achieve that purpose, we need to see how much opportunity school provides to its students. Most students who want to be involved in the extra-culicular things might succeed because those people tend to have ability to do what they need to do. As the fact, there is so many students who do not know it, and they usually get lower GPA and keep complaining about professors without improving youself. So as my opinion, schools which provide more extra things tends to be better than the others because more smart srudents are in that kind of school. Those students improves the environment to make you study harder, as the result, you learn more. Thank you for reading.
