College is a part of life that everyone should experience. It is the first time that you are away from home and out on your to prove yourself to be a responsible adult.

If I were to talk to any perspective students and their parents, I would have to start out by saying that the University of North Carolina at Greensboro is one of the most beautiful campuses that I have visited. UNCG incorporates modern buildings with a historic feel. Professors at UNCG are always willing to help their students suceed in their classes, and typically you are able to have a professor for more than one class through the years here. UNCG creates a life changing experience that no one should live without.

Keep your options open - explore all possibilities when deciding where to go to school. The four (or more) years that you spend at college will shape a large part of who you are, and you want to make sure that that shape is one that agrees with you. Don't make your decision lightly, or you will regret it, someday. That said, listen to your gut - it is rarely wrong.

I believe that every person that does decide where they want to go to college knows what they want no matter the distance. For my parents, it was very hard for them to accept the fact that I was leaving home to go off on my own because in my culture, family is very important. My mom wanted me to go to the community college in town, but I told her I knew what was best for me and that I wanted her to support me. After I left home, she began to realize that I had dreams. She was happy that I made my decision to go to a four-year college even though it was far from home. My advice to parents who has children who are going off to college is believe that your child can make it because they are already dreaming it. If you can imagine it, you can create it. If you can dream it, you can become it.

My advice to parents and students about finding the right college is to tour campuses and find out what kind of atmosphere is going to make the future student comfortable, whether a city, or quiet country side. Ask questions to students that are already attending a college of interest to get opinions on how campus-life is for that particular campus. Search online to find statistics on colleges and choose one that has a good student to faculty ratio so if the student needs help it is available, as well as knowing the enrollment of the college and the particular degrees that certain colleges are known for. To make the most out of the "college life," live on campus for at least one year. Dorms are a different world all by themselves and it's an experience that every student should have. Be sure to attend a few athletic activities such as soccer games, baseball games, etc. and some intellectual activities such as orchestral performances and interviews. There is a lot more to college than partying and skipping classes, students just have to be open to new things. And, PS: ... APPLY FOR SCHOLARSHIPS!
