University of Arkansas at Little Rock Top Questions

Know what you want out of life in your future career, find a school that will help you get there and believe in yourself.

I would advice people to go to the school for their self and just ask random people their views on the school. Come and check out there programs and financial aid before you make your decision. You want the best or close to it education possible. Just weigh out your option. See which one feels like home to you and you can grow academically and socially.

Picking the right college for you will be the most important decision of a person's life. You have to the find the one that suits your lifestyle for now and also the future. Once you find the right college, have a good time. Study hard and play safe, but remember to enjoy yourself. Your college years will fly by fast.

Have a good idea about why you want to go to college, and do a little bit of research on the schools to find the ones that are known for those fields. Apply to as many of those schools as you can. Visit them. Visit professors. Talk to students. Choose the school where you feel comfortable.

To make the most of your college experience you need to be prepared before you even start. Since high school was so easy for me i thought college would be the same but i was wrong. College is hard and you have to put a lot of time and effort into it. Finding a college that is close to home or more importantly that is financially resonible is very important. Paying for school is a huge challenge for me and i'm going to assume that it is that way for a lot of people also. It seems so pointless at times to be spending that much money on a few classes each semester, the costs are adding up to this huge lump some and at times you want to ask yourself is it really worth all this. You just have to grit your teeth and tough it out because yes it will be worth it in the long run after you finish school and are working your dream job with an excellant education behind you, just don't think about all the student loans you will have to repay!!

The best piece of advice i can give about finding the right college is to attend the college that is nearest to where you live. When you go to a school close to your community you are far more comfortable with your surroundings, making yourself more relaxed when you start school. It is also very convenient because of it's location (especially if you already have a job that you like or if your kids are in school), and best of all, you have love and support of your local friends and family that keep you going all year long. The best advice I can give about making the most of the college experience is to be very social and get involved with campus activities, such as an international student day. Honestly, I am not a fan of fraternaties and sororiteies because they tend to do a lot of partying and you are always around the same people. But if you were to participate in an international student day you would meet so many more people, and that is what is most memorable. I know that if you follow this advice you will have the experience of a lifetime.

Research information on the colleges of your choice. Then visit the different colleges, and ask as many questions as you can possibly think of asking. This will let you know which college is the best for you. Once you enter college try to get involved with some activity on campus.

Don't focus only on the big names, or only the cheapest schools. Take the time to do a little research and see how the students at prospective campuses feel about attending there. If at all possible, visit the campus. Talk to departments. Talk to students. Visit campus libraries. One thing you do not want is to feel like you don't belong where you are going. Sometimes first impressions can be the deciding factor.

Find a college that has programs that you are interested in, or specializes in the field you are thinking of going into. Make sure there is a wide variety of electives to encourage finding new interests. Look into how interactive professors are with their students. Professors are a valuable resource. Take advantage of the guest speakers and lectures taht the university offers on campus as well as the programs that are offered. Many unicersity spend a lot of time and effort organizing events, clubs, and lectures to create interest in different occupations, interests, hobbies, ect. They are also a way to get networked into the university, make contacts and friends.

make sure the college "clicks" with you, if it doesn't you'll never succeed at that college
