What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

Go with the cheapest, most schools will have everything you want and jobs only look at where you go to grad school

As we view our current society, we see the economy rapidly declining because of various needs to our nation which is making jobs state-wide impossible. In my point of view, I strongly stand for education for success in this present world. As one is born, he/she visions a dream as a young individual of living the American dream, and letting it come to passed and making it also possible for futher generations. Therefore, several steps must be taken in accomplishing those dreams. Furthermore, my advise to parents is to strictly enforced the importance of an education on their children, rather than leaving the decision in attending college to their children. Once theres a clear path, the decision on the type of college or university, depends on the major the child wants to pursue, which is very important. Also i would advise parents/students to enroll in universities with small size class, because it gives an opportunity for the student to have a better understanding and a closer interaction with the professors when help is needed. All in All, education is the key to success, and one should grab this opportunity while its avialable.

To parents I would say support your child in the school choices they make because at the end of the day they are the ones that have to live there and adjust to the campus life. To students looking at schools i would say to start as early as possible to give yourself some time to really think about where you would like to spend the next four years of your life. Remember this is a decision you are making about your LIFE and your future successes in life. Don't take it lightly. Don't base your decision on a boyfriend/girlfriend or best friend base it on your needs. Get involved on campus as much as you can. Yes your academics come first but you must learn to balance. Don't let 4 years pass you by and you've done nothing. Parties not included.

Choose a college that suits you because you will be the one staying there for four years. Also a school that focuses a lot on your major.

if you want to f9ind the right college go visit it and when your there ask a couple students questions about how campus life is. maybe even have your son or daughter find someone they know there let them come up and visit. Also be open to new experiences because college is all about experiencing life to get ready to becoming a working person.

Kelvin

My advice would be to actually go to the college and see what the campus is like on a regular school day and night. Ask campus represetatives what kind of majors do they offer and see how strong is each department of interest for the future student.

Nicole

My best advice would be to visit every college that you are interested in and make appoitnments with career counselors to assess what types of careers you are interested in. After you have a general idea of the fields that you want to study, research colleges based on those interests and visit the ones that best match your career interests. Look deeply into the financial help that the school can provide and fill out a FAFSA. Also, look into schools that offer on-campus jobs and work study as well as cultural events and programs.
