I would say to visit the schools of choice before applying and make sure they like the campus and facilities offered in and around school. Then after that try to find out more about the everyday life on campus and choose accordingly. For example if a person gets easily distracted then I would advice against a big school with lots of events going on all the time.

As a parent or student, choosing the right college isn't always easy. I think the best way to find the college that best suits you is to first do a little research on the school. Try to narrow your search by seeing how widely-recognized the school is, especially in your field of study. Another factor to consider is whether you are comfortable with the type of environment the school is set in. You may also want to compare the student-to-faculty ratio; a big class setting may not be what you're looking for.
When trying to make the most out of any college experience, it's plain and simple. Try to have fun! Yes, college is about acquiring a higher education, which requires much dedication and hard work, but you must also remember to enjoy the time you have there. From enjoying friends' company to joining a fraternity or sorority, there are so many ways to become involved on-campus to enrich your experience as a college student.

I advice parents and / or students that when it comes to make a choice for college studies to pick Texas A&M-Kingsville, they won't regret it choosing this campus. Thank you for this survey.

To be involved in looking at what the school has all around and applying towards your child's personality/character. With the college expeirence, it's an experience therefore you must get out of your comfort zone and get involved. Join organizations, meet people, dont become so locked into your own bubble you miss out on the greatest time of your life.

In order to be a successful student at any college you should take time out to study for the classes that you anticipate to be a struggle for you. Also make time for recreation, don't work yourself into a frenzy. For parents sending there child off to college, trust that you have raised your child right and allow them to grow and expirience life for themselves.

The two things you should be thinking about is cost and interest. If you want to be a chemistry major, go to a school with a certified and well known chemistry department. Make sure you will be taught by real professors, njot lecturers. WHen thinking about cost, make sure you take into account all the fees, and whether or not you really need unlimitted meals. Another thing to look into is whether there is a community college near it where you might pick up a few cheaper credits for classes that will not affect your career. Do not overload yourself. Set a goal for a graduation date and stick with it. If you feel like you have extra time you can study, join a club, or pick up a few hours of work during the week. Whatever you do, make sure that you are not dreading college before you even sign up for classes.

Make visits with your children and be involved in your childs descion on choosing a college. Dont try to push them on making them go to a college you want them to but one they think they will enjoy. College is a time to grow and learn more about your self and your values. Make it fun but make sure you get your school work done first and party later. Dont make it a stressful prosses there are plenty of schools out there just pick the right one for you.
