My advice to the parents and children that live locally here in the Valley should never never frown upon a University that is ideally located in your town. The University of Texas in Brownsville is an amazing school! It has fantastic history with such friendly people. It has so much to offer for studnets that live in town and students coming from other states. This campus is going to get so huge and well known! Why wouldnt any one not want to attend this universty? MY advice is to study study study!!! Pick classes your going to enjoy because if you dont my theroy is you wont want to go to that class. I loved going to school! Everyday i studied and went to study groups, got together with friends and talked about what was going on. Living the college life is so much fun and there is so much to offer to every single student that attends. You get to meet people from all over the states and get to know them and their culutre. Make sure whatever college you pick or attend, its not a final choice. Dont feel like your stuck with that one university. peace, love.

It's not so much about what school you attend. It is more important to do what makes you happy. It is important to look into different careers early on. If your profession doesn't need a degree with prestige, don't go to such an expensive school if you don't have the money. You will have to pay back student loans, and you don't want to pay them for the rest of your life. Use student loans only for school. Don't use them to buy a car or new clothes.

Students should interact with the school they wish to attend before enrolling. Finding the right school for you is very important and can effect how much u learn and gain during your college experience. My best advice is to find a college that is comfortable and open minded so adjusting to your new school can be fun and easy.

My adivse is simple. Don't worry as much about what you want to do but about what you want to learn. Any college has the potential to be the right college if you apply yourself and go beyond the classroom to explore your potential. its important to find the enviroment that adequetely fulfills your needs. i suggest look at the social life as much as the academic life. A good balance of good academics and good social life is important.

It is very important to find the college that best fits your personality and your interests. In order to be satisfied and to be able to succeed one must feel comfortable in their environment. It is essential that one enjoys every moment of their college life, because they will only live it once. It is also very important to always stay focused on your career and goals, while enjoying your life as a student. I would advice students to get as many part-time jobs, internships and hands on experience in their career in order for them to be able to compete with the whole world for their dream jobs.

Visit the campus, visit the housing buildings, do research on the campus, get enrolled student's opinions on the school and teachers, make sure you qualify for financial aid and other loan programs, and definitly make sure that the school provides your area of study and resources available for you to persue your future.

My biggest advice to parents and students about finding the right college is to ..

The advice that I would give the parents and the students about finding the right college would be to visit the schools in their free time. The reason I say this is because when I entered school I had never been on campus before and everything was new to me. I would highly recommend for the parents and students to visit the different campuses and get familiar with the surroundings. Another thing would be to get familiar with the faculty and with the different degrees that the school offers. The act of doing this will enable them to have an idea and several options to pick from. The best way of making a student have a best college experience is by feeling comfortable and welcomed in a place where they're going to be constructing their future.

I think that parents and student should really take into consideration the quality of education that they are paying for. Being a part of a school means so much more than just going to class. It means getting involved to help yourself and other people. the people who work at the university are a way to determine what your experience will be like in your time there. one must research the resources they can take advantage of at the school such as, computer services, free computer classes, clubs and organizations, on campus work, the library contents, academic services, etc. Other minor things to look at is the choices for housing, food plans, distance to essential and social places. The school someone chooses should make the person comfortable and happy.

take enought time to study and go over the several options you have.

I would tell them to study and leave all the extra carricular activities behind. Make sure you have lots of money and not working in a full-time job because the college experience will take so much out of a person. Listen to your professors and be open-minded to what they are teaching. Keep your dreams and hopes alive and never give up. Make sure when you meet your counselor that he or she is understanding to your needs. Overall as bad as the work load and the stress you will build, never give up.
