William Peace University Top Questions

If I had the opportunity to go back in time and have a conversation with my younger self, I would tell myself to take high school more seriously, because nobody cares how cool you were in high school after graduation. I would encourage myself to get involved in more extracurricular activities and to comtinue playing sports. I would tell me to explore the world a little before enrolling in college. I would say, "It's never a waste of time to take a break. It may be the only chance you get." Most importantly, I emphasize the importance of learning about money management, credit, and the actual cost of living. My final words to myself would be, "Just say NO to private student loans."

Don't be afraid to try new things. An all girls college isn't HORRIBLE. Trust me when I say having boys in classes on slows things down!

Find one that will give attention to your child and benefit them most academically and socially.

The best advice I can give to any upcoming student is to not let your friends influence your decision. Often students pick a school based off of superficial reasons, their parents went there, all of their friends are attending the university or because it is far away from home. When picking a college it's important to make sure you are going for yourself, if your heart isn't in it chances are you are not going to do as well. Visit lots of Universities, make sure they offer your major, ask some students around campus if they like it there. Once you decide on a college, get involved, join clubs, meet new people, and take advantage of the resources your school offers. Most importantly, have fun! Afterall college is suppose to be the best days of your life right?

In order to find the right college, i feel that the college you choose should be one that you are comfortable with. I think that you should visit the college and take a tour or maybe speak to some professors or advisors. To make the most out of your college experience, you should get involved as much as possible while also balancing schoolwork. I also feel that you should ask for help when needed and never be afraid to. Try to be open to new people and doing new things that are ethical.

Both parents and students should take tours of different colleges together to make sure that each college offers what the student needs and wants out of the college experience. Peace College is a small private college, which I believe keeps the school as more of a small community. Students are better able to form and maintain friendships for life. I encourage students to become very involved in school activities as well as out of school activities. Students are better able to receive the college experience even if they do not live on campus.

You should test the college. Students go visit (without an appointment) the college on your own first, if the college is willing to take the time and help you, then you may want to consider that college. Colleges will always act differently with parents present. When deciding on a major/field ask for a list of courses and make appointments to speak with the professor. Become familiar with the campus, introduce yourself and find a mentor (someone at the college). Good luck

It is a must and a need to always visit a school you think or want to attended, parents should go with there student if it is among their top choices. Make sure to visit when school is in session, not on weekends or during breaks/hoildays always during school hours. This way you can see the actual life of the school, and see the activities around the school on a regular basis. I strongly encourage any student to get involved in anyway possible with your school. If your school is large join a group in a department that your interested in. Small schools, go out and ask a upperclass man about activities, sports, clubs etc. Its also important to do your work, but don't stay in your room all the time get out on your hall and mingle. The best memories are sometimes with people on the hall, you'll meet people quickly this way and you'll make friends.

Getting involved makes the most of any college experience.

I would say look and go to the colleges youre most interested in , check it out . You might find a college youve never even heard of in small town, check it out!!! You never know it might be the college of your dreams!!!

One advice I would give to parents and/or students about making the right choice of colleges is to do some research. Find out what you want out of a college and see if that college has the things that you want. Also, to get a better prespective of a college is to do a campus tour. With a campus tour you get to see first hand if the college that you're at is right for you or not.

make sure the college you're applying to offers internships and aid with finding a career job. students attend college to have a better life experience. internships and good career centers can help students continue their positive life experience after graduation with more available sources of income and opportunities. visit the college before you apply to it! eat at the cafeteria, sit in on a class, check out the library, computer lab and cafeteria- you will use these facilities often in your college experience. first impressions can be decieving, do not attend a college or university because it's "pretty". make sure the college or university you are applying to offers many opportunities that you can take advantage of throughout your college career. things that you don't think you would do now, could be something you might consider in the future. diversity is key!

Make sure you look around. Finding the right college, that fits your personality and style is very important. College is suppose to be the best years of your life. Don't waste time finding the right college for you.

The well known schools and the schools that you already know people at and farmiliar with may not be the best school for you. You have a better experience when you go to a school where you do not know anyone or the place. If you can survive going to school where you know no one, then you can survive anywhere.

The best advice I could give to the student is to find a college that is right for you, NOT your friends. Your friends are not getting your degree for you! Parents, do NOT try to manipulate and bribe your child to go to the school you graduated from. They are their own person and want to pick their own school. To make the most of your college experience, don't ever get out of focus on what you really want to succeed in! Yes, there will be fun parties and a lot of social events, but it is your responsibility to get your work done first and get that much earned degree. College only happens once, so get the most out of it by learning as much as you can!

I would have to say to make sure you go and visit the colleges you got accepted too and get a good feel for the school, to make sure you know what you are getting yourself into! Also I would try to find out all the best ways to get Finacial Aid if you need it and if you apply!

Finding the right college is the most beneficial way to succeed in our world today. Pick a college or university based upon where you think you would be most comfortable. Size matters and some students learn better in a small environment versus a large one. If you are interested in playing sports, then if you do what I did I just went to one of the schools that recruited me. I just got lucky and picked the right one. Do not base going to school on friends. Friends will appear at the right times and usually you meet your friends for "life" in college. Take risks and rry to pick a school that offers your degree of interest.

I think that you should look at the Financial Aid, dorm living, statistics of the types of students that live there, Majors offered, and talk to a student. Not the student that gives you a tour, but a student that actually lives there. That's where you'll get the best answers about the school when asking a question.

The best advice coming from my college experience is to find a college that will fit best for your lifestyle and the career path you are planning to take in life. Find a college that will fit your pace. Also, when attending the college try to involve yourself in at least one activity or club. The best advise would be to keep in contact with your professors and seek help anytime you feel you need it. DO NOT GET INTO THE PARTY LIFE!

Students; when it comes to picking the right college for yourself, don't pick it because your significant other goes there or you heard it had an attractive male professor. Pick it because they have awesome academic qualities. Pick it because they're are friendly people and an awesome campus. Because you know you'll do great there and suceed, because you will.
