Tougaloo College Top Questions

Go to a college that offers your preference in majors, that's rich in history and culture, and fits your comfort zone. If you prefer bigger schools with bigger classes, go to a big university. If you enjot small, close knit schools, go to a smaller, rural college. Tour schools in person, if possible. Research for financial aid help, especially scholarships.

I think the most important part of seeking a college is to start early, research as much as possible and don't rely on the testimonials of others. Every college is unique and leave varying impressions upon their students. One should be sure to visit those insitutions he or she is interested in to garner his or her own opinions. Upon entering college, experience as much as is possible, from forums to conferences, concerts and parties, and various organizations; there is no other time in life as exciting as college.

The founders of Clark Atlanta once said "if you can't find a way, make one." I believe this holds true in choosing the right college. Even if it seems impossible, you must make a way to find a college that fits you. It is commonly stated that every person is different & in that same breathe, every college is different. Looking for the right college is a serious task and a bit overwhelming but you will find that its not as hard as you think. You have to look deep within yourself and evaluate your personal values and what's most important to you. You have to do the right amount of research, attend open houses, become familiar with requirements for different schools and most importantly look for one that seems the most natural fit for you. Like finding the perfect pair of jeans, you have to try on many to find the best fit. Once you do that, become aware of your surroundings, be adventurous but protect your heart. Always try to create relationships with your professors and staff and classmates; you never know who you might meet. Be open minded and forever stay true to who you are.

One I do advise is to make sure you visit different campuses and get a feel of the school and the type of people that attend the school. Another is to take into account your financial situation, loans are good but I don't think anyone should be stuck paying for their education the rest of their life. So do plan and save money because school is expensive. Don't forget to do your research so that you know for sure that your decision to attend a certain school is the best one.

Inorder to find the apporiate college /university for your child is to make sure you all know the history of the school! Apply for all type of scholarships that correlates to that child. And most importantly be positive and have faith that everything will work out!

Parents make sure you are well prepared for the school year your child will be going into. Go into the school year with a positive attitude and work hard.

To all of the parents and/or students who are pursing the right college to continue one's higher education, I only want to say is pick the enviroment that will better you and develop something you never thought you had. The college experience is one that someone wouldn't want to miss out on. You get the opportunity to embrake on different aspects of life and people's varies personalities.
