I'm proud of the decision I made as a high school senior of selecting this school. This school has changed me in many ways. I come from a small suburban town in New Jersey. I've hung out with the same ethnic group of friends. My friends decided to go the same university in New Jersey. but I wanted to have a change in my life and discover myself. I wanted a real life experience. Syracuse University is a four hour drive away from home but it's worth my time up here. It's a dead city I must admit and has a LOT of snow but this place forces me to be an independent individual. I'm away from the distractions of having to spend money a lot. There's really not much places to go so it limits me but I like it. I'm more academically focused and socially involved. I have a high GPA and I was Secretary of a club for my major called Enterprise Club. I'm proud of my success, and I would tell myself to not have any second thoughts and continue the right choice of going here.

James, You need to budget your time very efficiently when you get to college. Make sure not to procrastinate! Procrastination is the enemy! Do not procrastinate! Procrastination is the devil! Try to find employment as soon as you get on campus.

If I could talk to myself as a high school senior, I would tell myself to take advantage of all the things that a college offers, such as the summer program for incoming freshmen From what I saw, those students who attended the SummerStart program at Syracuse University became very close to each other and still hang out during the regular school year. It eases one?s transition into starting college, and gives one a feel for how different college classes are from high school classes. During the first few weeks of college, be enthusiastic and friendly, and take advantage of all the different clubs and organizations available on campus. Participating in these different activities will allow you to meet different types of people. Making friends early during your freshman year will definitely ease your transition into college.. Everyone you meet is going through the same things you are, so you would have company. Friends make the world seem just a little brighter.

If i have the chance to go back and talk to myself as a high school senior; i would have many advices. i would advice myself to work more on my reading skill because now that i'm in college i find myself reading lots and lots of pages a night. i would also tell myself to apressiate everything, from my mom's home cook meals, to going out with my friends, to sleeping eight hours, and of course to having that support system with me everyday unlike college where you are your on support system and no one does anything for you unless you ask for help. Another advice that i would give myself would be to get well inform about scholarships/grants because right now i have four loans and that doesn't seem really pretty for my future, so i would have to tell myself to apply to MORE scholarships. The last thing i would tell myself is to have fun, you can only be a high school senior once and those special seniors events would not happen again or if they do, it wouldn't be with the people you shared your struggle for four years.

Going back in time and meeting myself as a high school senior, I would advice my self to choice the college that i though was best for me, not only sport but also academically origented. Do not to listen to anyone when making your decision, not even your parents. I would advice myself not to sell myself short but rather to reach for my goals, beacuse at the end of the day I will have to return the favor and provide for my parents, I will have to provide for myself and I will have to provide for my family. This is why you need to do what is best for you and no one else because you have to love what you do, and you are the only one who can truely pave your future, so you must love what you know, because if you don't you will never be a happy man.

i would tell myself to be more open to everyone around . if i see someone that I do not know I should introduce myself and just be friendly. That really makes a difference in college. it is very easy for one to alienate his/her self from everything. i would tell myself to listen more to the advice of my parents as they were mostly right and always do have the best intentions for me. I am glad I took their advice sooner rather than later on in my time in college.

Monica, your GPA is not the most important thing about college. Focus on being as creative as you can and build an incredible portfolio. Get involved early and make connections with those around you- you may make some life-long friends. Don't forget to keep in contact with people back home. Learn from those who are different from you. Embrace the winter weather, however uncomfortable it may be. Take the day off if you need it. Look around. Take lots of pictures. Fake confidence if it's not really there. Go to the gym no matter how lazy you are feeling. Wake up early if you can. Get a job so that you can afford to have some fun. Make a few mistakes. Bend the rules and toe the line. And keep in mind that college is only for four short years, so you'd better make it good.

I would say to myself: take a couple of years of, go explore the world, than, no matter what you did, go back and finish your higher education.

If I can go back to my high school senior, I would tell myself to consider more schools similar to Syracuse University. I think schools similar to SU is a very good fit for myself and that I've made a good decision coming to Syracuse University. Although the numbers in the college books looks big, its fairly cozy and easy to adapt to. I say visit schools! I wasn't able to visit schools as a high school students but I think it's helpful in the decision making especiall now that I've seen the tours giving by my university.
