Wilkes University Top Questions

Make sure that you agree with what you are paying for your child edcuation, make sure you like where your child is attending school and make sure that is where your chilkd wants to spend his or her 4 years at

One of the most important things is to actually go to the college and have a student who goes there give you a tour, not the faculty or staff. This really helps with getting a less biased opinions of the school from student's experience. Ask them as many questions that are relevant, youre going to be there for at least 4 years. and its not fun finding out something like none of the toilets work on your 3rd week there. If living on campus, check out the dorms and other living arrangements (apartments) to see the conditions and what really fits you. Get to know campus surroundings (hospital, grocery store, entetainment, ) and what the community has to offer. Keep in mind distance and routes needed to travel if commuting. Road work is always an issue if you have an 8am class and leave at 745. See if the college offeres other fields of interest other than your major- theres a chance to add a minor or change the major and still be in the same place. Dont chose to a school 3000 miles awayto have an excuse to move out. Join as many groups/ clubs/teams/ events !

Just make sure that they know what the campus is really like, and not what you think it will be like. Make sure it has everything you want in college!! So, that way you don't learn the hard way.
