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.
