Winston-Salem State University Top Questions

The advice I would give to all students/parents about finding the right college, don't pick a school because of its popularity or its size. Do research about the institution and make sure this institute is right for you. Find out if this school is prominant in your major, find out what percentage of its students received jobs after graduation, how long did it take them to become employed after graduating. Check to see how helpful their career service is and does this institute sit well with different companies in the community. Then find out if the students are friendly and inviting, and are the professors compassionate and willing to give you 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c}. To make the most of your college experience I would have to say get involved, meet new people. Join some of the organizations on campus, participate in the activites, volunteer for school functionings. Also build a relationship with your professors, let them get to know who you are. Visit them during office hours, ask questions, and participate in class. Another way of making the most of your college experience is to remember you are paying for this education so study and use the school resources.

Starting your college search early key and essential in selecting the right school. Take advantage of high school workshops and campus visits when offered, and the earlier the better. This will assist in the process of selecting the schools that you really love and eliminating the schools that you thought you would like, but upon visiting realizing the school really isn't for you. Once you've completed the search process it definately makes life a lot easier for the selection process, freeing up time for the search of college money!! School is very expensive especially if attending out of state, therefore ensuring that your focus and dedication are there prior to attending is another definate must in order to make the most of the college experience.

The most important thing of any college experience in my opinion is to not waste any money or future career opportunities. In other words, there are too many people in the world who would like to attend college, but do not have accessible funds to do so. Take your college seriously. Encourage your children to go to ALL of their classes and soak up as much knowledge as they possibly can! This world is nothing but a competition, neck to neck, and there is always going to be someone who has one more thing to offer, or is better at a skill than you....LEARN TO NEVER SETTLE FOR AVERAGE!!! someone great once told me "DONT JUST BE GOOD..BE GREAT!!!"

The most important thing is to have a base of support in school. Dont room with friends because you are both growing and may grow apart, living apart will give them that space and may improve your relationship. you get out as much enjoyment from your school as the effort that you put into it. Participation in extra curricular activities will improve your overall college experience. stay on campus if you can, it will save you money on gas and rent and is more convenient overall. though college is a big deal dont stress about it, plan well and be prepared to pick up the pieces because no matter how prepared you sare college will throw you curve balls

Do your research on the school. Check out the background and inside information about the school. Make sure you visit the any open-houses that avaible before you enroll so that you are able to check out the scenery and how everyone interacts on campus. Ask around about the college like current students who attend. And just make sure that you know that this is the school you want to attend for the next four years because it is longer than what you think!

Don't choose that college just because your boyfriend /girlfriend or your best friend plans on attending. Have your priorities in line and go down the list.

I would encourage students and parents to do background research on the school. I would encourage them to visit and find out what type of environment they will be in if they went to the school.

I would tell parents to consider what type of student their child was in high school because they are likely to maintain those same habits, therefore they need to be in an enviroment where they can suceed. Another important factor in selecting a college is surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals because college is a place where you meet life long friends and an experience that teaches you who you are as a person. Academic programs are very important but he socail life of the campus shouls be considered as well becasue if a student is consantly bored or becames depresseed it will reflect in their classroom preformance and could ultimately lead to them leaving the school. The final factor that should be considered when selecting a college is having the resources to pay for college because unexpected events will occur and money is hard to come by while in school . So students have a lot to consider but the decision should be that of the family with the student's opinion in mind above all others.

Do all the research possible on any and every school you're interested in and make sure you find more means than one on getting the money to pay for tuition.

When you try to figure out what school you would like to attend after high school you have to sit down and really think about why you would like to chose this school and how their academics are and how the staff and professors are. You really have to think about it this is a school that you will attend for the next 4-10 years of your life so in choosing you ahve to make sure that this is where you want to go. When getting to college you have to life your life to it's fullest. It's alot of hard work and you really have to focus. It's okay to go out and have fun with friends but if you have work to get done make sure it's done before you go. The college experience is great but it starts with you you have to make it fun.
