University of Idaho Top Questions

I would tell them to pursue something that they love so that it makes it that much more enjoyable in the end.

I really enjoy greek life and I think it's a great way to get to know people and to really get involved with campus!

Pick the school that is the best for the degree you want.

When you try to find a college, seperate yourself from what you already know, go outside your comfort zone, find a place that reminds you of the things that you enjoy. Leave behind, but dont forget, the experience of highschool and make an effort towards self discovery. When you choose your course of study, make sure it is something that you feel like you could never learn enough about, if you feel like you just want to get through college and not enjoy it, you are on the wrong path. Talk to your professors, they will be energetic to tell you everything they know. Be a friend to everyone, you will learn much more about yourself if you can do this. Most importantly, imbrace spontenety, and the unexpected.

mm,

Don't give up after the first year. Everyone wants to quit but if you just stick it out you will find it will be the best experience of your life.

I would advise parents to take a tour of the facility and sit down with the faculty of the specific school of their childs degree and talk to the financial aid offices.

My primary advice is to visit the campus, especially during a big campus event. You will get to see not only what the dynamics of the college are like, but also the type of people who attend that institution. Make sure you take advantage of opportunities to visit with current students and also the faculty. Those are the people you will be spending the most critical years of your life with, it's perhaps the most important decision you've made up to this point. Also, make sure the background and life of the campus is right for you. If you are used to shopping and big-city night life, then a small agricultural campus is not going to make you happy. There's more to being in college than just what they teach you in class, you need to be able to have real-life experiences as well.

No thanks!

Make sure you visit the campus and talk to an advisor about the school. Make sure the school has a decent reputation (does't mean it has to be prestegous.) And finally, make sure not only that you fit in with the school, but that the school fits you.
