What should every freshman at University of Saint Joseph know before they start?

I would begin by figuring out the finances. What can you afford. Then figure out if you want a big or small campus. Then look at if you want a gender specific campus, like all women's colleges. then find a campus that has has a variety of majors and meets all of the qualities that were mentined before. By doing this you will attend a school you can afford and meets your requirements. GOOD LUCK TO HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS!!!

You learn a lot about yourself in college. Therefore, you want to make sure the college ou choose is right for you. I was a wild child, and focusing on a task isnn't always that simpple. This steady paced college helped me focus on the work I had to get done free of most distractions. And in te process, I was able to find what it was I wanted to do with my life after college.

Dont waste your money. If you aren't dedicated you should not attend college. College is expensive and everyone who is there is there for a reason. If you are a girl, you should apply to Saint Joseph College West Hartford, it is a wonderful experience.

Make sure you take your time, review all your options, and your pros and cons. Make sure your finanial aid is beneficial, clubs and sports you are interested are there, and your major! Make sure the campus is the right size, visit it, more then once if nessary. Make sure dorms are nice or in good condition, and try the food so you know plan to get. Talk to some professors in your major, getting to know them is imporant. Make sure you know the graduation rate, job rate after graduation all of this is very imporant. Remember take your time its the rest of your life.

To choose a school that is known for particular career fields (a school well-known for nursing will have a better network of internships and job opportunites) and one that has similar values to the ones in your family.

If your choice in schools is not what you can afford or if you want to save yourself or your family a little money try a 2 year school for your basic requirements then transfer. I had to pay for school myself and this was the only way I could get into the school I wanted without selling my body organs or putting my family in even more debt.

The best advice that I could give a prospective SJC student is to be open minded and hard working. SJC is a place where you can find your voice and speak your mind without feeling scared or intimidated. The campus community is so strong and supportive; with all of the academic resources on campus, you will not fail if you do your best. SJC gives each student the opportunity to grow and develop into strong and confident young women, as well as give back to the community. Saint Joseph College is the college to attend if you want a close-knit, family like community. The friends you make here will be part of your wedding party as we as be friends for life. Through SJC, students are given opportunites that other schools would not be able to offer, just because the community knows that name of the college, and that we onyl graduate the best. So to become the BEST that you can be , Saint Joseph College is the college for you.

My advice would be to pick a school that will educate you not only on your specific major, but also on how to become a independent and competent being. While in school, participate in committees or clubs and get to know the people around you. It will help you in the long run!
