University of Arizona Global Campus Top Questions

For parents with prospective applicants for colleges, at some point to sit down with their children and not pick the college of their choice (the parent's choice or alma mater), but find what suits your child the best. Most kids don't know so that in their confusion parents may have to do their own investigating. Parents should take the time to sit and go over questions, comments and criticisms as to what campuses their child would choose and visa versa, where this is time consuming it can give the student a better perspective on what he may want. For students in search of the ideal school, no school is perfect and have high expectations. Meeting deadlines and time management are two of the most essential and vital issues associated with school because studying habits change. The freedom away from home (if the choice is on campus situation) allows new choices and liberty to do what you want when you want. Give it your best shot and try to achieve the highest goal possible and there will be limitless possibilities.

Advice that I would give to other students is to be dedicated and motivated to learn. The course that I am taking is the online degree course and it can be hectic at times but the best advice I can give is to stick with the studies. If students continue and not focus on the fast pace learning experience they will benefit in the end. The number one thing I found beneficial to me in my learning experiences is never be afraid to ask. The more questions asked is the more knowledge learned. I chose Ashford University for their reputation and commitment to their students future success. I researched many colleges and Ashford was the college that best suited my needs and made me feel special. Their admission advisors are awesome and they show concern for the students needs and interests.

If I could give any advice it would be research, research, research. You truly do not know what is going to be the best school for you until you get all the facts that you need in order to make the best decision. You cannot allow athletics and popularity be the only determining factor during your search. You must ensure that the educational environment will suit your learning styles in an effore to put you in the best position to be successful in completing your degree program. Once you are a student get involved! There are so many different types of people and cultures that you can only learn from their lives and experiences, whcih in turn will enhance your learning experience as an undergrad. Also, being involoved will allow you to have more than just academics to add to your resume when it is time to graduate and begin the job search. Good Luck!

My advice to parents and students about finding the right college is to research each prospective college for the type of curriculum that will be the most compatible for the students needs. If the student is involved in any activites, look into those activities before making a final decision. To make the most out of the college experience be willing to devote more time to studies out of the classroom than is even required, but take many breaks to avoid burnout. Dedicate yourself to the learning process and embrace the experience! Learning is a never ending journey, never stop!

The best advice that I could give is for the prospective student to make visits to the schools you are interested in. This way they will find out about the community the school is in. Do not choose a school just because of it's name. Choose the school on how comfortable the staff makes you feel, whether you like/dislike the class size, and most importantly if the education you will receive from the school is worth the time, effort, and money you will need to put into it. Choosing a school and how well you do there will affect the rest of your life. It is not a decision that should be rushed into. Research the choices and choose the school that allows you to accomplish your goals without changing the person that you have become. The perfect school will enable you to be yourself, yet guide you in achieving your education. Remember the best school might not be the biggest in the nation, so always leave your options open. If you visit a school and feel comfortable with the staff, students, community, and price that you will pay then you probably have found the school to attend.

It took me 15 years from the age of 18 to finally go back to school and earn my degree. I choose Ashford because the curiculum and financial portions seems reasonable and attainable. I feel I learn more and more each time a take a new class. I can not wait to have my Bachelors and brag to everyone that Ashford University made it possible for me to be a better more professional woman in todays society.

My advice to anyone for finding the right college would be to look for one that supports your needs financally and acidemically. Find a university that you feel comfortable with and one that have very skilled professors. Enjoying your learning environment is definitely a positive in making your college carreer a success.

I would make sure that you as a parent allow your child to choose a college that they can relate to and feel comfortable, because the first year can be very touch on students, it can make you or break you.

Don't stop at the first school that tickles your fancy. Look at many schools, athletic programs, academic programs, classrooms, and evaluate all of it together. Start early and make no rash decision.

Take the time to find not only the right college, but the best college. College is about being apart of a community, come and join us.
