Tusculum College Top Questions

I believe there has to be an active relationship between parent and student, so both can understand exactly what the student will be getting into. Parents and students should definitely visit the colleges together and ask questions to both students and faculty to figure out about life on campus (academics, extra-curricular activities, etc.). Students should definitely leave there comfort zone and meet many different types of people. This will open them up to many different groups of people so they can pick and choose the social network that they want to be involved with. Regardless of where the student attends school, they should strive to be successful academically and become more outgoing in many aspects of life (community service, meeting new people, joining clubs, etc.).

I would suggest finding an environment that would best suit the student. Whether it be a smaller school in order to get more personal one-on-one time with the professors or a larger school to get that large school environment!

I would tell the parents and students to learn everything about a college that they are considering to attend. Make sure that it is really what you are looking for, and that it is something that you are going to enjoy. You can't go through college being miserable or homesick. It just makes everything harder than it needs to be. Ask questions, talk to students, professors and financial advisors, even sit in on a few classes to see how things are done. Once all of these have been taken into consideration, then I would say that you are ready to make your choice. Remember, this choice is going to effect you in ways you would never imagine, and it will change you forever.

Research all options and weigh the costs (time, finances, etc). Compare several colleges of choice. Make visits to the campus to see if it may be the place you feel you belong. Be prepared to work hard to earn the best possible education from any college you decide on. This includes staying determined and focused as well as dedicated to the chosen college. Learn all that you possibly can academically. Learn about the various cultures and lives of diverse people so that you may come to appreciate them. Do your best to succeed at all levels in order to grow as a human and a person in your chosen career field.

Visit as many campus' as possible. Take a risk, if they choose a college far away, let them go! Enjoy your youth remember that your GPA is important, but the meomries are well worth combining social activities and hard work. after four years if you usually join the "real World" so have a blast while you are in college! Travel and take every opportunity that is presented!

Graduating high school is so very exciting, yet scary at the same time. Parents, you dont want to see your kids leave home, and seniors you have mixed emotions about the upcoming years. Take a deep breath in. Pray every night about your decision. Know what you like to do, the clubs you might want to join, the scenary....and visit as many schools as possible. The best advice is not to follow what your friends do. this is your choice...make it and go with it and be happy. get involved.

Make sure you visit the college before making your decision. Make sure that attending a college in another state is really what you want to do. You will not be able to see your friends and family for a long time. Ask about finacial aid and scholarships prior to your attending or arrival. When thinking about college remember that text books are expensive. Beg your parents for a car while in school. take classes that you will be able to use if you chose to transfer schools. Chose a good school because transfering is very messy. Work and then play. Time management is the key to being able to have fun after your homework is done. Do not give into peer pressure. Do not walk the campus alone if you are a women. Campus saftey will be happy to escort you back to your room. use condoms. choose your roomate wisely. Do not eat alot of junk food because you will gain wait. ask your professors for help, that is what they are there for. DO ALL YOUR WORK AND DO NOT GET DRUNK THE NIGHT BEFORE YOUR FINAL EXAM!!!!
