Stillman College Top Questions

If I had the opportunity to return and talk to myself, I would advise to be more time concerned, safe as much money as possible, and research the schools that I am applying. Also tell myself that college is not as stressful as it may seem, just be more aware of the work and turning in assignments.

go to college and earn a degree it will help you find a good carreer

If there was a possible chance that I could my senior year over, I would study much harder. I also would apply to more colleges and way more scholarships. However I did leave school on a good note. Being in the choir, playing on the varsity basketball team, and being in the school production of Footloose allowed me close that chapter in my life in a good way that I wouldn't change. However, I would allow myself not to get so caught up in the partying, but study more, and take the ACT as many times as I can. I would also strive to make A's on test and not settle for just a B. Striving to be the best by working hard does pay off in the long run. In my junior year in high school, the team went threw a time when we weren't winning many games. So we started to work harder at practice. We ran our sprints, practice our shots and had attitude that we were going to win. As a result we won the City and Area Championship. Winning that championship showed that us working hard does pay off.

When your in highschool u have your parents and teachers that are there for you to depend on and help you out. but once you get to college all that changes. besides your friends you are alone, taking care of your self. your parents are not around so you have to grow up real quick. and with your grades is highschool if you are not doing so well the teacher will maek that effort to spend extra time with you to help bring up your grades. in college you have to make the effort to speak to the teacher about your grades and how to improve them.

I would say the following to myself. When you get to college do not slack up to have fun with the friends and when you get bored don't just watch tv. pick up a book and study. you have alot of time to go to the parties don't rush through your work to go and party

Be the master of your own vessel! Individuals are placed in our path for us to gather information to make an informed decision or plan. Too many of us do not take heed and this can make a distinct difference in our matriculation . Review your class selection's, doing so may mean the difference in graduating on time ! Roommates, just because your assigned one doesn?t mean you have to remain with that person! A harmonious roommate is the second most important selection you will make right after that class selection! Think about it, you?re sharing a small space (sometimes even a bathroom) with someone you?ve never met and in my case did not have the opportunity to get to know even over email through the summer. Have an open mind, but if it doesn?t fit let your housing advisor know and make that change, your sanity and grades will thank you later. Last but certainly not least, get out of your room, classroom and library and have some fun! College is an experience; don?t limit it to what?s just in a textbook, remember there is also something called the life book. Enjoy!

Go to college and don't party so much, study; don't cram 4 test, it hurts around finals

Well, The advice I would give myself is to make sure that the college I choose is the college I will want. I can choose any college in the world easily but the question is that if I choose a college will it benefit me. There are alot of colleges that will not fit the qualities you will want , so the best thing to do is check the colleges first before choosing.

When conducting your potenial colleges, it's essential that that you really get an accurate feel for the school you are considering.This consist of doing a personal tour while school is in session.By doing this you can a real visual of how life on tht campus actually is.

I would tell the student to not just find a school that they think will be fun because they have friends thats going to the same school, I would tell them to find a school that best accommidates them and their major.

Do what's best for you...choose wisely

MAKE SURE THE COLLEGE HAS THE MAJOR THAT YOU WANT TO STUDY FOR YOUR CAREER.

My advice to parents and students looking for the perfect school would be to not always follow your friends. Finding a college or university is a big decision that can effect the rest of your life. The school should suite you and what you need. It should fit your budget financially, have your major, host a good place to stay- on or off campus, and offer any sports, clubs or fraternities/sororities you want to join. Although the say college is also a time to find yourself, its also good to go into colllege with an idea of who you are so that you do not lose yourself while trying to find yourself. As long as you remember what you went to school for and why you are there, everything should be fine.

The school is almost well-organized. Make sure your child gets involved in a lot of clubs, and activities to stay on track. Please fill out scholarships because going here is very expensive. Make sure you keep up with all your paperwork and never take the niceness for granted. make sure you know what major you intend to study and make sure you get the required classes.

Research the college before choosing one Get students opinion on the school Don't choose it just because it's an HBCU

Parents should'nt make all the choice for there child. There school choice should be their choice. This way they can have the best college experience they can have. College is a journey to embark on their future.

Make sure you do background check on the school if your accepted. Make sure that its the school you want to go to. Do a on campus visit to get the feel of the college life. Make sure that when fall semester begins you have all of your paper work summitted and you have an idea of what classes you need. Always make sure you are finacially prepared for college(parents). Make sure college is what yoou really want to do, not something your parents or gaurdian are forcing you to do. Most students flunk out because they are in college not because they want to be but because they wanted to make theur parents proud!

The adivce I would give to the parents or students is to make sure the college will give you everything you need to receive you college education. Make sure to do full research on the schools that you apply even call and ask to speak to someone if you need to. It is also wise to try and visit each college in person because when you leave for school that school will become your home. Make sure that if you choose to attend that school it will be able to give you everything yo need to reach the mark in your education.

Find somewhere it fits your major and were you can be focus and have fun
