I would tell myself to make better decisions while in high school because those decisions you will remember for a life time. As a teenage living home , do not forget to thank your parents for the easy life they provided for you as a teenage beacuse entering college is not so easy being away from home and being the decision maker in my life.

I would tell myself that it is very important for me to do well academically. I would have told myself that I should have kept my GPA above a 3.5 to be competitive. College life is about learning and having fun. I would inform myself that being flashy and not studying is not going to help me in college. Studying is very important and I wish I would have done more of it in high school to prepare me for college.

I would say stay focus in always start my work before the deadline time .

I would tell myself to save. Save save save big time for college and all of it's expenses because you could never have enough money for the school you want to go to. Take the SAT and ACT more than once to make sure you can get the best possible score. Study hard for the SAT / ACT also so you won't do bad the first time. Also don't cram for those types of tests, get plenty of sleep, and during the day of the test, relax your mind and take your time, and also eat a good breakfast so your stomach won't growl loud! APPLY FOR SCHOOLS EARLY. that's the biggest advice i would give myself. Apply for schools early and don't wait until the last minute to fill out the FAFSA either so you won't be so behind on everything. And most importantly, apply for as many scholarships as you can, because when times get tough, those are the things that will help you get by, so you won't struggle in the future.

My advice to parents and college students would be to first find the colleges that you can afford. Secondly, research as many colleges as possible to find which school best fit your criteria. By following the above steps, you will have easily adapted to the differences in the school because you've chosen what you wanted and wouldn't be anxious about the cost of tuition and living expenses. One of the most important aspects of life is your social status. Learning to communicate and interact with different groups, cultures, and religious can be difficult. Mastering that skill will allow you grow as a person and be able to work well with groups of diversity in the workforce. Joining extra-curricular activities is not only fun bur rewarding because that too will improve your interaction thus making the college experience less stressful and more enjoyable.

I would tell them to chooses the collee that's best for them financially, academically, and socially. I would also suggest they visit the college campus (especially if they plan to stay on campus) to get a feel of the campus itself and the surrounding area.

There are so many great institutions that thrive in excellent education. It is in those institutions where one grows to be independent, respected, hard working and prepared for the real world. Finding the right college takes effort but overall the desire to be further educated. A college experience is being on your own, making right decisions, and at the same time discovering who you are, so that you may have a bright future. Involve yourself and invest in that college because someday you may make a difference in your community, your country and even the world and perhaps win the prize that rewards and recognizes the excellence of your work.

When looking for colleges first look for colleges/ universities that offer your major. Nowadays schools are VERY EXPENSIVE so look into scholarships/grants while in high school, the least thing a student needs to worry about is money. Once you have chosen the schools of choice make a list of tution and expenses for each school. Also make a sheet with your pros and cons( meaning what is good and what is bad about each school). The most important thing is to have all your paperwork in order before you go to mom and dad and talk about schools and money. All parents want to hear is the distance you are from them and how much money they have to come up with for you to become all you can be. Me being a student, I know it's hard to find a school with your desired major that will not cost your family 12 mortgage payments for one school year. It will help also if you attend a community college that your desired school will accept transferred classes from and get your prerequisites out of the way. It helps save money. GOOD LUCK

To all parents make sure that you give all and as much support and help that your child ask for and may need, nothing is better than being apart of your child education and helping them believe in every decision that the made in becoming independent. Make sure this experience is never regretted, the best education comes from a life on a college campus, and what parent in their right mind will not want to be thank by their child for making a worth wild completion and large step to a life of their own or new beginning. To all students this is a long and stressful process but the people around you are only there to help, so allow them to become stressed with you. The results that always come from a team struggles and hardships will lead a heart filled successes. So, students take your time because their a lot of opportunities? out there filled with thing that fit your needs, look deep, work hard, and stay focus in choosing everything that you will look forward to in four year. Have Fun!

To find the right college, I believe the best thing to do is take the time out to research the school. Knowing what the school does and doesnt have to offer is important. Secondly, visting the school makes all the difference. A school make look one way online and can be totally different once you visit it. You can also get a feel if the school is right for you by talking to students and learning about their experience. Also it is imporant to choose a college where you and your family can afford is important. Making the most out of the college experience means not only studying hard but participating in activities. College has so much to offer and not everyone take advantage of it. Being able to manage work and play is important to learn as being a college student.

The advice I would give is to be yourself and dont change. Remember who you are and the values that your parents have taught you. You will do perfect!

I would most likley tell parents and students looking for a college that they need to visit each one of the schools more than once so that you get a better feel of campus life and each time you go you can find more or less you like about the campus.

In order to find the right college, firstly the student must work hard and make the grade throughout high school. Care for the future must be instilled at the beginning of the high school experience. Parents should make their child's academic success their priority as well as their child's responsibilty. Furthermore, families should speak to as many faculty, and students at their prospective colleges before they enroll. If possible, they should spend time on campus and look into shadowing a student on their regular day. Also, a student should look into financing their education as early a junior high school whether it be through applying for scholarships or working a job. Lastly, parents and students should know that most colleges today are businesses, therefore just like in the quest for a job, the maketable you mae yourself, the better candidat you will be. If you put in the work beforehand, you should be successful in your college search and have a happy and healthy undergraduate experience.

Make sure you start the process early and visit every school you are interested in if you have the time. Make sure that when you make your decision do it based on the class size , the social environment and the financial/location of school.

The most important element in finding a college that best suits an individual is to think carefully about what they wish to study. As parents, do not force your children into a career that they may not be interested, just because you believe that its best for them. Students, think about a career in which you can be successful while enojying what you are doing.

TRUST YOUR GUT. IF IT FEELS RIGHT YOU KNOW. LISTEN TO YOUR CHILD BECAUSE YOU ARE INVESTION IN THEIR FUTURE NOT THE COLLEGE'S FUTURE. DO YOUR REASERCH ANY INFORMATION IS WELCOMED. YOU KNOW YOUR CHILD SEE IF THAT SCHOOL WORKS WITH YOUR CHILD'S ATTITUDE. AND RELAX THE PERFECT SCHOOL IS WHAT YOU WANT NOT WHAT LOOKS GOOD ON A RESUME.

I would advice you to go to that college unexpected so you can see what they really live like on campus. Because if you go when they expect you they will make the campus seem to be something that its not. But look at as many college as possible before you make you decision see what there acadimics are like because thats what your there for then let the rest settle in after. Because theres nothing like having everything you want in a campus without traveling to another to fufill your college and on campus experience. I know at my school you have to travel to other campuses to pladge at another college. You want a place where you can be free. So you have to look at what you want in a college. Where you would like to spend four years of you life because it's your money so enjoy is as you speed it every year. Also make sure it a place that has a place in your heart. As well as a place where it puts the meaning in pursuing because that what you are there for to make your life go further.
