University of Toledo Top Questions

Don't waste so much time at a community college. Decide what you want and stick to it.

I would tell myself to save more money and spend wisely while in school. I would also tell myself to make sure your financial aid is cleared up before the semester begins. If I could go back in time I would of told myself to not attend the University of Colorado because I wasn't going to like it very much and in the end it was just a very large waste of money. I would recommend University of Toledo to myself and hope I'd listen. :)

I would tell myself to be prepared to do lots of reading, homework, and studying. I would say that the ammount of work in college is much more than the ammount of high school work. I would also tell myself that the transition to college would be rough and to hang in there. I would say that things will start to get better after freshman year in college.

With my college experience now, I would tell my self to stay focused. Do not let the freedom take over me. Understand that you can't drop classes at the first sign of struggle. Remember you need at least 30 credits to be titled as a sophmore. And never underestimate your work load.

I would tell myself to enjoy evry bit of the process and enjoy every minute of time. Try to to you best work always and use college to help yourself. Ask yourself every day "what did you learn new." Don't let college, people, on things use you. Use the experience to be a better person and a happier person. The experience is what you make of it. It is not up to a professor, class or institution to make you day good or your callege experience good. It is up to you to make it great! You can do that with any class and in any institution. It is in yout hands. Make the most of it. Be your best. Don't compare yourself with others. Just work at being your personal best each day.

I would tell most students to take the classes that are required for college and that you know you will be using sometime throughtout your college experince. Make sure they get a decent grade on the ACT/SAT scores try to maintain a good grade point average.

My advice I would give myself would be to never think I couldn't do it, couldn't make it through college or the transition. I chose a school 3 hours from home where my family and friends and boyfriend are. I thought I wouldn't be able to do it without support or familiar faces around me. I would tell myself to never give up and just push myself as hard as I could and to not be afraid. People grow up and start their own lives, things can't be what they seem in high school; "easy" and having all your friends there. Things in life happen for a reason, and things work themselves out. As long as you strive for the diploma at the end of the road, the long struggle will be well worth it.

I would tell my self not to worry so much about picking a college and reassure myself that I would end up where I was suppose to be. I would say SAVE YOUR MONEY college costs way more then you think it will. I would tell myself that living on campus was the best decision I ever made, but caution myself not to skip class or stay out all night to often. I would tell myself that paying for your own school will make you value it more then the people whos parents paid for everything. I would also hint that most of those people dropped out. But the most important advice I would give myself is simply enjoy yourself. I would say college goes by fast and it is some of the best times of your life so live it up while you can, but don't forget to study your spanish!

Figute out what you really like and research it. I took Culinary Arts in high school and I am now a business major.

I would tell myself to keep focusesd, college is not like high school. You have to push your self to do good. I would tell myself to go to every class and try my hardest. And mostly I would tell myself to not procrastinate. It is very hard to not do that in college because you do not have to be here, your here by choice so it gets hard to actually want to waste your weekend doing the homework and studying.
