Wilmington University Top Questions

Looking back, on the information I know now, I would tell myself to find a school that provided an educational experience as well as a social experience. I would recommend attending a college with a student body that was made up of predominately traditional college students. A college experience that was rich in age appropriate acivities that were exciting and stimulating to the students body. And a school that fostered a strong sense of school spirit. In terms of education, it is important to find a college that believes in the importance of a healthy student-teacher relationship. As a student, you should feel comfortable in the classroom and know that resources are available to you when you have questions or need help.

If I could go back in time, I would tell my past self not to listen to my guidance counselor who told me not to waste my money on application fees because I probably wouldn't get into the school of my choice. I listened to him and I regret it. I applied to two schools, a community college and a private college. I was accepted to both and chose the private college because it was out of state. I never liked it at this school but it was close to home. Now, I'm two weeks from graduating with a degree I want nothing to do with and plans to continue my education down south doing something fun and exciting, baking!!! I can't wait to get my life on track, the only problem is the money I need to fund my education. My parents make too much money so I don't qualify for any loans, but they won't help me pay this time and I don't make enough money to support myself and my education. I suppose I would have also told myself to save more money, it's just so hard these days.

I would be thrilled if I could go back in time and tell myself what I should do about finding the right college for me. I would tell myself that there is no such thing as visiting too many schools. I would say to look at every and any school that I am interested in and talk to them and visit them. I would also say to keep an open mind and to not let anyone try and pressure you into a decision before you are ready. I would say to myself that even though you are looking to play a college sport, you need to make sure if something prohibited you from playing that sport that you would love the school for the school. Keeping that in mind because you never know what could happen to you so you need to love the school and feel welcome there. The last thing I would say is follow your heart and know that money shouldn't be a factor because it can always be paid back. Have fun and enjoy your college career and life!!

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would simply tell myself not to be afraid of the college atmosphere, to set goals and accomplish them. The transition may not be easy, but it is a positive life changing event that will never be regretted. No one can take away one's knowledge. It is truly power.

If i had to go back and talk to myself as if i was a high school senior i would tell myself not to stress out as much. College may be harder but it comes with a lot of positives, the teachers are there to help you and the people you go to class with are going to be very friendly and want to help you too. i would also tell myself that all the information i learned in high school you use in college and it is important to remember and retain that information, because by doing this it will make college a lot easier.

If I could go back in time and give myself advice about college life I start by telling myself that it is not something to stress over. All during high school techers would stress over how hard college is going to be and how strict professors are. I disagree, all during grade school I have been preparing for the next grade, so when college comes around if I am certain that I have tried my best throughout highschool then there is nothing to worry about. I am well prepared and as long as I focus on my school work, college will be just like any other grade. As for choosing my school I would tell myself to write down the things I am looking for in a school. Then while searching make sure any school that I consider contains all of those quailities. Colege is not something I should settle on. I need to choose the school that is best for me and fits my needs and wants. To settle for anything less than the best is to sacrifice a gift.
