St. Mary’s University Top Questions

Take every chance to learn something new. Never take education for granted as it is a doorway to opportunities that many people will never experience. Never give up hope for as soon as you stop dreaming, you die. The sky is the limit and you are only bound by what you allow yourself to accomplish.

I would tell myself to be more personable and not so quick to judge people. I would stress the importance of being accepting to all people no matter their sexuality, their religion, their color, and the way they dress. I would tell myself that creating good study habits and a "can do" attitude will be one of the most important things I learn in college, so to start know will get me so much farther ahead.

Don't be afraid. Open your mind. I was so fearful of the transition and close-minded to new people, ideas, and experiences. After having such an awesome high school experience with education, teachers, friends, and environment in general, I was convinced college would not be nearly as enjoyable. I told myself that I wouldn't establish the same kind of wonderful relationships I had. After arriving at St. Mary's, I continued to believe that no one here could possibly measure up to my old friends and teachers. Boy, was I wrong. If I could go back, I would tell myself to get out there, to not be scared or shy, to know that I was exactly where I was suppose to be with the people I was suppose to meet. I wish I would have gotten involved sooner and know that there are plenty of amazing people who wouldn't necessarily take the place of those in high school, but they would still be just great.

If I could go back and talk to myself, I would say, "Amanda, even though you're away from home for the first time and you want to try a million new things, you have your whole life to do that. I'm not telling you not to have fun, or to not make new friends, I'm just saying that you need to be just as careful about your school work at St. Mary's as you are about it in high school. You have this idea of college just like everyone else, but things are not always as they seem. This is one of those things. Work hard, study harder and make your mark. It doesn't have to be a giant foot print, just something that you know makes you happy. Focus on what you love and fight hard for it. Do you best. That's all anyone can ever ask of you." That's what I would tell myself. A mini-pep talk it is, but sometimes, that's exactly what someone needs. Most high school seniors have no idea what they're getting themselves into when they start college.

I would have to say visit the campus and look into a overnight stay. Get a tour during the Fall session when all the students are present. If teh campus feels safe and home-like than its where you belong.

Starts off with what school who have always wanted to go to for college since a kid. Visit the campus too see how it feels. Look into information about the school and how succedful people after they graduate there. If you dont have enough to afford, looks ways to pay for, including loans because in the end, it will be worth it. And make sure you get innvoled on your campus to get the full feel of being a college student.

The advice I would give is search, search, search! Look for what you want in a school and you will find.

St. Mary's University is a great place to get a great education. The cost to go here is expensive so i would edvice to get the aid and payments on time or else it will be hard to get it done later on.

My advice would be to begin the search with a goal in mind. Don't pick the school for the beautiful campus or for the dorms, but for the academics. Does the school offer you a degree that can pack a punch? Also, it is important to find a school that offers good advising. Honestly, a good academic advisor is a big part of achieving success in college.
