University of Houston Top Questions

It's very hard to pick the right school, but I would say parents make sure your kids know they have time to figure out what they want to do. There are many resources on campus to help pople find out what they want to do. Plus if they take a year of core classes and then decide on a major they haven't lost any time, where people whoa pushed into a major and then realize they hate it lost time and money. I'd also say follow your gut, you're never going to be certin but the place you feel happiest go for it. I would also recomend living on campus for the first year, you learn a lot more about the campus if you are there all the time and you also find ways to be positivly involved. SO make sure to check out the dorms when you vist schools, and ask the RA's all the questions you wnat, they are there to help you, plus they want to. (I used to be one)

Student Financial Services office can be a nightmare. From accountability for vital documents to timeliness of administrative processes to general concern on the part of the staff for the academic career of the student, a student and/or parent can easily have their hands full with fresh plucked hair from their own heads. My advice would be start on any administrative task as early as possible, follow through daily and don't let up until you know without a doubt that the task is thoroughly and correctly complete. Other than that, hands down one of the greatest and most rewarding experiences of my life.

When lookiing to find the perfect school parents and students should make the decision together. parents should think about the initial cost per four years. you should also find out how much aid the school is willing to give them. as well as federal aid awarded . Besides the cost students should think about how big they want the classes to be, if they like a lot of team sprit; enjoy large amounts of students; visit the campus and visit the department you would like to study in; meet professors there. check out the extracurricular facilities. talk to Students on campus and how would they rate their experience on campus. check the area around the campus and what is around the area (supermarkets, entertainment,etc).

I would advice all new comers to University of Victoria-Sugar Land System to attend this convient college. This school is very peaceful and convient. If your a parent there is no need to worry since the college is located near most Sugar Land residents. University of Victoria has changed who i am today. I have became independent and more competitive within my educational goals. I happen to be an early graduate from Kempner High School. I work at a Dry Cleaners close to school which helps me to be able to make money and go to school all at once. As hard as it is, if i did not attend University of Victoria i believe i would not be as strong and competitive as i am today as well. This campus was made to help individuals out and to simplify it into one word its "ECONOMICAL". If your having money issues University of Victoria Sugar Land System is the school for you. Free Parking and Free Tutoring and comfortly sized building not so big where new comers will get lost.

Ask current students of the school any/all questions to get an unbiased opinion

Research! Research! Research! Do not procastinate about the selection of your future college. Once you have gotten in the college of your dreams (or a few steps down), research some more about the different resources /facilities available on campus. Make sure to choose classes soon, you do not want to be stuck with the "bad professor". Good Luck!

Figure out which colleges you would be interested in during your sophomore year in high school and visit them that same year. Start applying for financial aid and scholarships as soon as you get to high school and make and honest effort to make the best grades that you can. High school students should also try to volunteer and if they are able to get a job they should save at least 20 percent of each check and put it away for college because freshman year is tough and many people are not able to work because of that. Parents should also save as much as they can for their child as soon as they can so that the student will not have to take out loans to pay for school.

Visit the schools you are applying to . Go into the classrooms and read the bulletin boards. Just see if you think that you could enjoy that environment. Also look at all of the majors. Look for your first, second, third, fourth, and fifth choice...if not more, and if you don't have that many choices...come up with them.

I would say investigate as many schools as possible and talk to as many people from the department you wish to major in. In addition to that you might want to sit in some classes and go to the campus during the start of the fall semester to check out how things are done.
