The University of Texas at Tyler Top Questions

Grab life by the hands and go after what you want from the start. Go where you are accepted and make the absolute best of it from the get go. Never let anyone harbor your optimism. You choose how you envision your circumstances. Study during the day, relax in the evening, and try not to procrastinate it only makes your time at college more complicated and frustrated. Make time to relax with your friends, stress only accumulates and makes learning more difficult. Learn the classes you are taking try not to dismiss them for "stupid classes". Every single class you take has SOME impact in your life, even if you don't see it now-you WILL see it later. Try to realize that deadlines are there for a reason-they push you to learn the information, otherwise, would you really complete the information you need? Probably not! When you climb that mountain, it may feel like it will never reach the top but when you do-every single step you took, was worth every bit of your time. Love college while you are there, its an experience not everyone gets to see.

I would tell parents to understand their childrens educational capacity for the majors they select and find the schools that properly allow them an environment in which they have room to grow. Also to make the most of your college experience you need to retain a mindset within which you can remain calm and stimulated. Too much of a social life can have an effect on your grades and this is a fact.

I never originally planned on going to UT Tyler. I had a long track season my senior year when I competed at State. When I notified UT Tyler of my interest and after an assessment of my SAT scores and other accomplishments they gave me a full scholarship. My plan all along was to transfer after 2 years, but between the friends I made and the ease of the learning process provided by the administration and faculty, I decided to stay. I would say those two things made my college experience quite enjoyable. Try to get a feel for the people on campus, the opportunities in your field of interest, and the academic climate of the college (i.e. is it easy to study? is there the right balance socializing without hindering the learning process?). Most colleges provide a little of everything but with active participation you can find that a little can go a long way. All in all, your academic and relational well-being at a university is only as good as the utilization of resources provided.

College is all about working towards a greater future and having fun with your new given freedom! If you are looking for the best college that fits your personal preference, and even if you do not know what you are looking for, I suggest you take several on campus tours. Make a list of schools that offer your interest of study, both big and small schools, and schedule a visit. Once you find a school that feels like home get plugged in too the on campus life. That will best give you the ability to find help from students who have taken classes you might struggle with, while at the same time make friends to have fun with during college and even network with once you are out.

I think you should join clubs and groups as soon as possible. If you don't, it's much harder to find friends and fit in. You'd then have a network of people you could go to with questions about the school, which you may have a hard time finding a staff member who can tell you. Find one with lots of diverse activites and something you think you can really get into. And if you do find a group you might like, see how active it is. I joined the Psychology Honor Society, but they never had any events so all it basically got me was an extra article of clothing to wear for graduation.

Before choosing any school to go to for four years visit the school, look at the price of tuition, look at the schools website and see if it is really where you want to go.

Make everyday as fun as you can and keep your head in the books.

Do research! Take trips with your kids while they are still in high school. Schools allow college days that don't count against absences so they can go on a school day to see what college life is like, and take several trips during weekends and holidays to show your kid what different colleges look like. Get involved in school clubs, go to orientations, live ON campus.

I think really listen to your heart. It will tell you everything you need to know. If you truely follow your heart no matter what you will be happy.

TALK TO YOUR CHILD! Do not pick a school for them, allow them to choose one for themselves.

Get your kid focused on the tasks at hand. Once they are behind it can really be a burden.

Always go after your dreams. Dont let money and family issues get in the way of becoming the person you want to be. If there is a dream college and career you have in mind, then go after it all the way and give 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c}. When getting the full college experience yes go and have fun but always put school first. The freshman year needs to be the most important, those four years will fly by and you will look back on your past and wonder why you did what you did. So just do your best and become who you want to be and not others want you to be and you will get the most out of college and appreciate it in your upcoming future. Just love life and have fun.

This is a great college for students from the east tyler area where its close to home, Its not very suitable for out of state prospects.

I went on many college visits, but I never got the full effect of how it would feel to actually attend the college. I think it is imperative to plan overnight college visits where the student stays on campus, attends classes, and experiences the social life of the campus. This will ultimately help the student to realize whether they fit in to that particular school or not.

Tour multiple campuses and activities on campus to really "get a feel" for what it would be like to attend that college/university. Oh and remember to go in with an open mind, you might be surprised!~

visit the campus, talk to as many students as possible.

My best advice to parents and students in finding the right college is one: prepare, prepare, prepare. Devote as much money as possible, parents and students, to the time you will be spending attending college. When looking for the right college for your child, do not let family history or traditions get in the way, let your children decide on which college best suits them. Parents and students both need to understand that mistakes can and are going to happen while they are in college and be fair in handling those mistakes. Most of all enjoy what your college or university has to offer. It can be the best time or the worst time of your life depending on how you handle your experiences.

Go with a desire to improve yourself thru learning about yourself and others. This includes a self-evaluation and setting goals to what type of person you want to be. But most important set a tone in your life of learning and changing yourself for the better. Become a person that is known to make things better.

Make sure that you are comfortable with the school and do not just settle for a school. Keep your opinions first and for most!!!
