To students I would say work hard in high school so you can get in the college of your choice. I was not able to go to my first choice until now (fall 2009). I had to go to Cobleskill before i could go to Oneonta. Oneonta has the major I need. To parents I would say just be prepared for the years to come. I know my parents were worrying about how to pay for my year at Cobleskill. Anyway, Good Luck to you all!

Advice, if any to give, would be that when making a decision, be sure to visit the campus, go on a tour. Also, make sure that they offer what the student needs to obtain a degree. Dont go right with the first choice, investigate early during the junior year in high school. When the college is chosen, to make the most of it, be sure to get involved with campus activites, otherwise you will find yourself doing nothing, bored, or even worse getting into trouble, or doing things that you should not. Live on campus, it for a better experience than living with mom and dad. One last important thing to keep in mind when searching for a college, is to optimistic, (parents- be willing to let your child go) (students- be willing to try new things, change is good).

Go were you will feel good, and were you feel you can get the best education!

do the homework first and then party, everyone will be happier in the end

pick a fgood one

Ask alot of uestions, about everything!!!

To make sure that it is the right enviroment for your child. To also make sure that they like what they are going for, if they do not enjoy it then they should not waste the time doing something they do not like.

Unless you are willing to live in a rural place and have almost no means of public transit this isn't the school for you.

Make sure that you look at and consider every possibility and make sure there are other majors you are interested than the one that you're entering for because you might change your mind as to what you want to do.

I would put emphasis that grades are essential while in high school. Participating in extra curriculur activities can possibly increase the chances of scholarships. Tuition can be difficult but there are hundreds of scholarships in which to apply for. Applying to numerous schools gives you better chances of being accepted. Don't hesitate to make trips and visits so that you would be able to get a feel of the school you may potentially attend. Keep the process simple and stay on top of due dates for your applications. Make things convienant for yourself and have a positive outlook. Keep in mind that there are resources out there to help you. Initially, one might be shy at first, but there will be other students who are wearing the same shoes. Everything will be just a matter of time, especially until you begin to feel comfortable. Don't be afraid to use the talents you were blessed with, whether athletically or academically. Remember to take it one day at a time.

I would advise parents and students to ?test drive? a campus before they enroll there. Brochures and statistics don?t tell you as much about a school as 10 minutes on the campus. Don?t choose a college based upon its reputation. One man?s Harvard is another man?s prison. Ask to speak with a professor. If you have a student tour guide you should not be afraid to ask them questions. Most will open up and give you a true glimpse of the college. If you are wondering about how the bills will get paid you should speak with a financial aid counselor. They are pros. Remember, the only stupid question is the one that?s not asked. Even if you are in a group, chances are somebody else is wondering the same thing. The greatest way to get the most out of college is to get involved. While that phrase sounds clich? and is overused, it is very true. College offers more ways to get involved than most high schools. There is truly something for everyone. Most importantly, never forget to have fun!!
