St Andrews University Top Questions

Please make sure that you investigate the college before you decide. Sit in on a class, and see what the professors are like in real classes. It is different when you come for open houses and things like that. Also, investigate many different college settings. There is something right for everyone, and it may not be the first colege you look at, but it is out there.

I would say always research the school and make sure you make a visit if possible. Visiting a school allows you to really get a good look into what that school is about and has to offer socially, academically, athletically, and culturally.

I think when students and parents are looking at colleges you have to take many things into consideration. You have to look for the school thats going to fit your persoanl, educatinal and career goals. I think a college tour is key. You can look around on campus and see how things look. When your doing this i think its important for the student to ask a current college student about campus life. Do it when the parents arent around and get the college student to just be straight up with you about everything from the professors, to the partys on the weekend.

My advice would be to pick a school you think is best for you. Also, don't be scared to try new things, and meet different people. Also, make sure you are prepared to pay for college or will have ways to pay for college. Never wait last minute and always keep contact with the faculty. Don't be afriad to have fun either, let loose and still keep your values. Don't be afraid to make friends. Just go out there to live, learn, and experience different things.
