University of South Florida-Main Campus Top Questions

Visit the college, make sure you really enjoy the setting and the academic aspescts of the school. Tour the city, because your choice of school may not necessarily concide with the town it is located in. Enjoy your college years, because they only come around ONCE!

Make sure it is a college that offers many academic opportunities. Often you will find that students will go to school with one intention, and decide to change their minds halfway. This allows them to choose from many different options.

Life is short so work hard and have fun. Attend a college that makes you feel comfortable and helps you to achieve your goals!

When all is said and done, you, the student have to be satisfied with the decisions you make in college. Think about who you are, what you like, and what you want to acheive. Then, find the college that will best fit to you. When you do finally go to college, don't be afraid to step out of what you know . There is always something new to learn or experience. Never does a person change as much as they do in their college years. Change isn't a bad thing as long as you are conscious and happy with what you become. College is a time to create lasting memories, while building for a better future.

In order to pick a college where you will succeed and be happy, you must first know yourself. Every college and university differs in small ways, much like one person to the next. Your college years will lay the foundation for the rest of your life, not only academically, but in finding yourself. You enter a novice, nervous and unsure, and you will leave with an understanding that the only thing you can be is yourself. College is the last time you have an excuse to be irresponsible. Take advantage of that. Skip a class now and then. Fail a test or two. You will learn. You will learn not only about history and religion, calculus and chemistry, you will learn what it takes to be happy, to be successful, and to be yourself.

Follow your heart, and stay focused. Keep your priorities straight.

Finding the right college is tricky. It?s about combining all the things you love and/or hate; creating a new life, hopefully a fulfilling one. Before picking the college for you, parents and/or students should visit the campuses and meet a few professors and students. The people and campus are more than half the equation for enjoying college. Sometimes a campus will look or sound great, but until you see or hear it in person you won?t get a true grasp of its spirit, or lack thereof. Another key factor would be location. An example of this would be if you don?t like bad winters then why pick a school extremely far north? Which brings me to my next point. The college you go to should depend on what you are looking for in college. Academics? Athletics? Social life? Those are a few questions that every parent/student should ask themselves before picking the college for you. Picking a college is a lot like picking out a car, it all depends in what you want. If you want fun pick sports car/party college, if not then pick something that best fits you and your personality.

Finding the right college is very important. It's good to know who you, as a person, before you go to school your freshman year. It can be very confusing and even if you think that you will not be drawn to the party scene, it's vey likely that you will be. Another important thing is to make sure that you have plenty of financial backing. School can cost a lot of money but the cost of living can be even worse. You may think that you'll be eating at home all the time but when you're at school all day it's a lot easier to just buy lunch for $5. Ande let me tell you, those $5 add up. In terms of making the most of your college experience, it's about finding that balance between getting good grades and having fun. While its hard to find it within the first year or two, it is attainable. These four (or five) years are really important for your future and its important to remember to try hard but not to stress yourself out too much. That can be difficult too.

Definatly visit the school and talk to current students before you choose, and visit more than just your first choice. I didnt visit schools before i chose them, and ended up going to 4 colleges until i found my place at USF. Now I'm happy as can be!

Finding the right school is based on your child's sholastic abilities, field of study, and extra curricular activities. I believe early encouragement is the basis for a quality college education. Most children will not have not found their calling by the time they reach college, and in order to have the opportunity to follow their instincts it is best that they be welcomed by the program based on their previous efforts. This approach can also alleviate financial obstacles through scholarships and grants creating opportunity to attend colleges previously unavailable. Children that have chosen a field of study also greatly benefit from this approach. Whether your child has made their decision or not, they can be confident about the possibility of being accepted to their desired college. Your childs good mental health is an important part of learning, and extracurricular activities can balance the stress of college workload. Research the programs available for your child to participate in. Many schools have a comprehensive list of sports clubs and organizations. With these factors in mind, your child should have a wonderful and care free college experience to be revered.
