learn how to study.

I would say schooling is a marathon, not a sprint. Take your time. You do not have to know exactly what you want to do when you enter college or while in college. That's the time to figure it out. Take the electives that interest you, and follow your intuition about what field seems like the best fit for you. Make sure you come up for air between studies and really look around at the possible fields of study and potential careers. Don't limit yourself to what others see as acceptable or worthy courses of study or careers! I would also say that grades are not as important as they seem. Understanding the material is more important. Good grades are certainly not worth killing yourself for. College is also supposed to be one of the most enjoyable times of life. Make sure you give yourself time for relaxation and fun! If you're going to stay sane through four years of hard work, you're going to need relaxation and celebration time with friends!

1. Never be afraid to ask for help! While the transition will be thrilling, confusing, and frustrating at times, you are not alone! There are plenty of resources available to you and no one expects you to be perfect and figure out all of the changes on your own. 2. Get out there! Everyone in the dorms is going through the same transition, and the only way to meet people is to introduce yourself. Don't be afraid to walk into a new situation or go to informational meetings. Talk to people on the bus or in class. Communicate with professors. 3. Go to class! It will be easy to get behind in school without anyone making you go to class and do your work. Just remember: You only have one responsibility and that is to "show up"! 4. Respect yourself! Though college can be a time to discover who you really are, deep down, you know your morals and what you expect of yourself. Do not lose sight of what is important to you or what you want out of your college experience. This will keep you happy and provide strength in trying situations. Lastly, you CAN do it!

i would tell myself to study hard to keep my grade point average as high as possible and to choose the classes that i will take in college wisely . Many scholarships are awarded to students who have a high gpa (grade point average). If a student gets many scholarships they may never have to pay for school out of their pocket, which will allow them more time to study to maintain good grades and even graduate early so they can start their career as soon as possible. When it comes to choosing classes to take, choose classes that will advace your education by challenging you to grow mentally while giving useful skills you will need in your career without overwhelming you with too much work. Your grade point average and the classes that you will take to prepare you for your career are both very important during college. It is very important to your success in college that you manage both wisely.

Hello senior self! First off, I want you to understand that although choosing a college is important, it's not the life or death situation that you seem to think it is. You will end up picking your last choice school due to financial reasons, but you will end up loving it, I promise. You will make so many awesome friends (and living away from home isn't too bad, either!). You will be able to go home on weekends, if you so choose, and the food will be awesome. You'll take classes you enjoy. You won't get along wiht your roommate, but don't worry - things will get better. So stop stressing! Take a deep breath and spend a little time with your high school friends. You don't realize that you won't see most of them again. Work hard over the summer to save up that money - you'll need it! And you don't have to get nervous about parties - nobody cares if you drink anyway! I love you and I want you to continue living your dreams! It's so worth it!

College is truely the best years of your life so plan now and make the best of it. Be organized in everything you do so you can take every postive opportunity that presents its self. Make meaningful friendships that will endure the trip of college and last through your life. Dont' allow little things to affect how you deal with life, today may seem like bad day but tomorrow is a new day. Enjoy life and enjoy learning, it's is not so bad if you enjoy what you are learning. Definity persue what you see yourself doing 20 years down the road, don't allow mom or dad to say you are going to be a doctor or lawyer, it is your life and your decision. Lastly, always have a postive outlook on life, even the worse things have a silver lining to them, you just have to look for it .

I would tell them to start their search early. Make sure to research the college thoroughly to make sure that it is in fact what you want and are looking for. You should consider campus size, academincs, religion, athletics, school spirit, social life, etc. These aspects of college are very important when considering schools because of personality and temperament. Just like high school, college is what you make of it. Get involved as much as possible so that you do not become all work and no play. However, it is extremely important to know your limits. Don't overdo it!! Make sure that you can balance school work with extracurricular activity as well as the social scene. Bascially, find the perfect fit for you through thorough research based on your personality, temperament, standards, and expectations. Take advantage of your college life. Try new things and meet new people. Have fun with everything you do!!

Finding the right college should be centered on you, the student. When finding the right college, there are numerous categories to keep in mind. First, select a school, which caters to your personality and interests. If you are a shy individual, you may want to go to a larger school so that you can develop yourself and open up. You must also see which school offers the most academic progress and opportunity in your area of interest. If you are interested in the field of science, find a school, which gives good research opportunities and offers more advance classes in that field. Selecting the college you attend is a crucial decision, and it should be made with the utmost consideration. Students should also make the most out of their college experience by getting involved in various activities. College is the time to explore who you are as an individual. So take "weird" classes, get involved in activities you never did in high school, and don't be afraid to try new things. The college experience only comes once in a lifetime, so you should take full advantage of this time you have at college.

There are so many discoveries to be made about colleges and the decision between the student, parents, and the school itseld until it seems to be virtually impossible to pin point one particular advice to give parents and students. Truly one of the most important things in choosing a college is finding one that interests the student more than anything. If the student is not interested, he or she will not perform well in the university the he or she attends. Also, the student and parent must take into consideration the finanicial situation. Most colleges tell prospective students and their parents not to worry about the finances. i truly believe that this is false. I have seen too many students struggling to keep their finances afloat as they are having to choose between food or laundry. Don't just consider the tuition and fees of the institution, but also make sure that personal finances are in order so that the student can simply survive on a daily basis without having to make these drastic decisions. Most of all, just make sure that you, as the parent is happy, and you, as the student is happy with the institution you chose.

Go visit the school before you make a choice. When you step onto the campus, you'll get a feeling whether or not it's the school for you. Also, talk to the heads of the programs you're interested in, or some students that are going in and out of the building, they'll give you the best advice you could ask for. Don't just take the tour the school provides. If you know someone, ask them to show you around or just explore on your own. If you're going to a big footall town, check it out on football weekends to make sure you can handle that - as some people simply don't like all the people/noise.
