University of Mount Union Top Questions

I would tell parents not to stress their children out to much. Don't make this decision process about yourself. When you first get to a college make sure you look at everything! I also recommend to take photos that way you can tell the difference between the colleges. And as cliche as this sounds your child will know the right school at some moment on the tour. You can defintely tell in their face when they found the right one because they can picture themselves there and walkign around with new friends. Also don't put a lot of academic pressure on them. As much as college is about the academics it is also about finding yourself and what you want to really do with the rest of you life. Have fun because you only go to college once!!

College is the time to experience life and grow up. Go out, make friends, and make mistakes. As long as you learn from these mistakes, you will leave college a better person.

Go visit it first! Do your own personal tour instead of going with the group because they will only show the best of the campus and its better to search on your own and talk to students.

Go where you feel the most comfortable and safe. Dont be afraid to step out in college and take advantage of all the services they offer like tutoring. Also, dont be afraid to get involved. Join clubs or sports. They help you meet new people and make new friends.
