Caldwell University Top Questions

Listen self being lazy is not going to cut it anymore. You have to do all your in order to achieve what you want in life. Shortcuts are not going to cut it anymore.

Dear High School Self, all through ninth to eleventh grade, you were lacking in the confidence department. You had the brains and determination to succeed, but you had such low self-esteem and fear of the unknown. You were not a risktaker, always hiding in your shell like a snail, even though your loved ones pushed to acquire your full potential. You knew you had a voice, but shyness, fear and lack of confidence were in the way. However, you did not let that stop you from being an Honors Student all through high school. Finally in twelveth grade, confidence and fearlessness were your new name. All thanks to your pesterers, for their constant harassments helped you over come your flaws. From the day your stood up to them, you felt brand new and there was no stopping you. It was not only noticiable externally in your appearance and sudden participations at public speakings, but also internally. I still remember that smile on your face after you spoke on stage at the Women's Empowerment Assembly . Whenever you doubt yourself, take a second to remember how confidence and fearlessness have made you a better person and a marvelous college student

If I were able to say one thing to myself as a high school senior it would be, "All the hard work you put into the last four years paid off, so do not forget to carry that same energy and ethic with you to college." I pride myself in the enthusiasm I had all throughout my high school career. Getting the best education possible while making the most out of my four years was my top priority. I stayed true to that by doing all my homework on time, running for class elections, and getting involved in fun school events. When I got to college, I was expecting to be overwhelmed by the sheer amount of work and difficulty of my classes, but I quickly learned that this was not the case. Yes, college is challenging and a big transition, but I truely prepared myself for it in high school. By always giving 110{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c}, I learned to be responsible, caring, and accountable. I would make sure that my high school self knew that if that same attitude was brought to college, I would have the best experience.

Talking to my younger high school self, my top advice would be do not and I mean do not lose focus. College is time consuming and you may lose sleep, friends, forget you have a social life, but in the end of all your hard work it will be more than worth it. College is an experience unlike any other, you may think you know yourself, but you do not. College will make you realize who you really are and how much you are capable of, it really is an eye opener. At this moment you may think high school is a hassle, but it does not compare to what college has in stores for you. I may make it sound as if you it is a level of the underworld, but it is not free education anymore, there is no room to slack off. College is money and money is time, do not waste it. More importantly, have fun! Meet new people, college is all about the experience and it is not only how you well you do, but how well you spent that the time given to you.

If I could talk to my high school senior self, I would say that things will get better. You are going to do great things, but you have to understand that with every bad thing that happens, something good will follow. Everything happens for a reason, and whatever you choose to do, know that you are doing exactly what you are meant to do. It is going to be a roller coaster, and although you think running off to a far away school is the best right now (which it is at this moment) don't feel that you should fight through the pain and frustration of sticking to your morals and values in a place that feels uncomfortable. It will be worth it, and it will get better because you are strong. Things will not always go your way, but soon everything will fall into place and your dreams will come true. Everything will be alright.

Almost every night I want to cry knowing that I might lose my scholarship this semester. If I could go back in time I would tell myself to not give up in applying for scholarships. I would say the more you apply for the better you chance you ave in getting one. I would probably also tell myself to be more realistic in price. Altough Caldwell College is an amazing school it is extremely expensive. I would say Jasmine be more reasonable with yourself. What would you do if you lost your scholarship to Caldwell? Take out an additional 11,000 in loans. You can't even pay for books so although you think that might be the school for you there can be more than one number one option.

if I could travel back in time, I would tell myself to prepare more. I had done all of the research into what schools I wanted to attend and what I wanted to major in. I would tell myself to save money. I would tell myself even if it is a little here and there just to start saving for my four year university I will be attending. I would also tell myself to apply to more scholarships. I received a scholarship, but it did not cover everything. I would tell myself to get involved first semester like I did the second. Second semester I joined many clubs and organizations and met many new people. I believe first semester would have been an easier transition if I would have gotten involved and met the people I have. Overall I was well prepared, but could have taken the steps to help me in the future and make the transition a little bit easier.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would advise myself to take another shot at the SATs in order to be able to get into the scholar's program at my school and to be able to get a bigger scholarship. I also would tell myself to go outside of the box and take on new activities, such as going clubbing with my friends, or even start going hiking. I would probably allow myself the chance to choose to live on campus instead of deciding to commute to college. This would allow me to have the chance to take care of things on my own and not have to rely on my parents for everything.

If I could go back in time as a high school senior, I would tell myself, "Things ARE going to get better." The next four years will be an emotional rollercoaster for you. You will have high points, low points, and periods of plain monotony. You may want to drop out and quit during your freshman year, but stay strong! Make an impact on the people around you; encourage them to aim higher and love more deeply. Friends will come and go throughout the four years, but cherish the people who stay and maintain those relationships. Participate in class; it can actually be fun (and help your grade)! Don't stress about that one C+ on your transcript; you will have plenty of A's to balance out your gradepoint average. You will get frustrated when professors critique your art. You will feel like a failure in the art world. But don't give up. Never, ever, give up on your dream of art. By the time you graduate, you will feel like an artist and have your niche. Most importantly, develop your gift of compassion so that you can be an effective and genuine art therapist in the future.

Do not procrastinat, get assignments done as soon as possible. Reach out and talk to the faculty and staff.

I would tell myself to become more organized, always read the textbook, and don't be afriad to ask for help.

I have learned that there are people willing to work with you at this college that encourage you to succeed. The people at this college are willing to take time out of their schedule to sit down and have a chat with you if you need one. For example, someone from this college was willing to sit down with me and plan out my next few semesters at this college telling me what classes remained for me to take and advised me on which classes to take during each of the semesters. I have found that I have been accepted at this college. All students are different and the professors are willing to work with the students in order to have their academic needs met. The relationship between a student and a professor at this college is very professional and very heartwarming to be a part of. This has been valuable to me because I was very scared and confused when taking the steps of setting up my classes. This college has assisted me in ways I never thought possible through e-mails and phone calls. If I was ever confused with anything, there was always someone there to help.

Caldwell College has provided me with opportunities to grow as a student leader. It has helped me to get my education in a very caring and supportive environment. The student to faculty ratio is very small and students get a great opportunity to interact one to one with their professors in the class and also outside the class. The campus community is a very close knit community that has always helped me to become successful in what i do.

If I could give myself advice now, I would have chose my college wiser. I applied to a few colleges and than went to the one my parents were more interested in. I would have done a bit more research into the tuition and fees as well as the school's academic, social and housing situations. I really enjoyed the aspect of small classes and getting to know my teachers, so I would make sure I chose a school with that factor. Also, I would research the academic standing of the college because although it was not important to me at the time, looking back now I was I realized how important it is. Unfortunately, I am now over one hundred thousand dollars in debt to student loans for an education I could have received much cheaper at a potentially better school. Looking back now I really wish I did more research and was more interested in where I was planning on attending college.

Having been out of high school for nearly 15 years, the first thing I would go back and tell myself is not to wait so long to go to college. I would tell myself to graduate high school with the best grades possible, and to attend the college of my dreams and love every minute of it, but to do so responsibly. However, the most important advice I would give myself, as cliche as this might sound, is to follow my dreams of being a professional musician and music teacher with all my heart, and not to allow anyone, not even my family, to deter me from doing so.

I would tell myself to do the Freshman Connect Program at Caldwell College and to try my best at everything given to me. I also would apply for more scholarships and do well on my SATs.

Dear Girl with the 2.7 GPA, You didn't finish high school at the top of your class, but thats okay because you certainly haven't shown the world your true potential. However, there is no time to worry about any of that now. You have successfully been accpeted to college, so now it's time to make some changes. The best advice I can give you is to go in with an open mind. Always be warm and welcoming because the friends you will soon meet just may end up being your friends for life. Take your academics seriously! College is a chance for you to take control of your academics. Chose your classes on days and times that work best for you so you can accel. Most of all, get involved! The more you become involved in, the more people you meet, the more you learn, and the better your college experience will be. You need to understand that the choices that you make now will shape you as an adult. Your college identity is your pathway to the real world. Make sure you take the right path! Sincerely, The girl with the 3.5 GPA

The advice I would give to someone trying to find the right school is keep an open mind and don't limit yourself. Just because school x is not what you think college is supposed to be like does not mean it can't be the right school for you. Visit the school and find out what they are about. You may find something you weren't expecting.

The advice I would give to parents and/or students about finding the right college is to visit the college before they decide on one. I only visited the school after I knew I was accepted and made the decision to live at home because of financial reasons. But I do think it is important to visit the college because not everyone will be content attending a college where the most activity surrounds school work or internship work. Partying is not a necessary part of college life, but it is part of what most students look foward to the most. In regards to making the most the ones college experience, I would advise both parent and students to keep an open mind about the colleges their visiting and the obvious and un-seen prospects. Life is what you make it and college life followers that rule also. I feel that in order to maximize ones college experience students have to at the very least get involved in clubs. That is where the most activity begins and it is the perfect place to meet and interact with other students who have the same interests you do.

Well, First of all a person should decide weather he or she wants to live near the family or away. Then, you decide if you are comfortable with a big, huge school or a small cute place. Then comes the money part, you need to know what your parents' budget is. Or if you are taking out a loan, how much can you afford. After deciding all this, apply to all the colleges you can, and my bet is pick the one that offer you most scholarship! It does not depend where you study, it depends how you study and what are you going to make of it. Finally, enjoy the college experience, don't get a full time job while at school. Try to spend less and budget yourself so that you don't loos eyour concentration from studies. Make friends, don't just sit in the dorm and have fun with them. Get involved on on-campus activities and you will do fine. If you really need cash, get a small on campus job!

High school is nothing compared to college. If you are a C average student in CP classes in high school you will not survive college without work.

Parents and students should really pay attention to the coast of their school. Money can not only cause stress to parents, but students as well, and with our current economic situation, all parties involved in the college application process should really be on the same page with Financial Aid, scholarships, loans, and so forth. Students should also consider the location of the school, keeping in mind how safe the town or city is, how close the school is to home, and what there is to do in the area. Lastly, a student should always know that this decision is life changing for the betterment of their future. A student should really consider the majors available in a college, and decide if what is available is a possibility that the student would like to pursue.

I would just say do what you love to do. Go to the school where you can be yourself and find people just like you. Also find others who you can learn from. Just be yourself.

Don't be afraid to go with a local or small college.

I think the best thing to do, is tour as many campus' that you can. Learn about each school and do not just talk to the tour guides, talk to the students as well.

Finding the right college is really up to the student. They know what they want and how they learn. If a student finds a college that works for them but does not really have a social life that is okay, because no matter where they are they can make it fun. Do not just go to a school because it is a party school go because you will do well there.

Find a good fit. Try to balance social life and classes without focusing too much on one or the other.

You get out of it what you put into it and if you hate the school enviorment you can always transfer.
