Georgian Court University Top Questions

Knowing what I know about college now, if I could go back in time and talk to myself as high school senior I would plan how I would pay for my tuition eariler than I did. I applied to colleges depending on my major and the location that is closest to home. After getting my decision and being notified how much it would be to attend the colleges shocked me. After talking to my counselor and basketball coach about going online to apply for schorlarships, I knew if I known about these opportunities sooner I would've use them to my advantage. If I can go back I would also research more about the scholarsips the school I applied to offers. Because of the late notice I had about scholarships by the time I looked online for them they were all closed for the year. Knowing my parents are not where they are financially to pay my way through college on their own, I know I should've been doing more research to help them.

If I could go back and give myself advice about college life I would most likely tell myself to opeen my mouth and ask questions. There was so many things I did not know about my college financially and I didnt't care to know to be honest I just was so excited that I got accepted into college that asking myself "would you be able to afford this school?, would finacial aid give youu enough to actually stay here?" I wish i would have asked myself and others those questions because I definelty don't believe I would be going through What I am going through now. I have a passion for learning and I knew GCU was a small college and i knew I would get the one on one learning that I needed I guess thats why I was so quick to come here, not thinking that I could not afford it.

Hard work pays off in the end. I should have applied myself through out my entire career through school. I should have also been better prepared because college is much harder than high school every was. The best thing I could have done would have been more organized.

Take advantage of all education oppurtunites, finishing high school is just the beginning. The furter you educate yourself, the better your career choices will be. I know everyone needs a break sometimes after high school, but try not to take a long excessive break, because sometimes you lose focus and dont wanna get back into the habit of things.Education can take you a long way in life if you do the right thing and avoid negative obstacles and stay clear minded on what your trying to achieve as your goal. So start planning for the future today, and stay on the right track and success should follow you to the near future. No one said it was going to be easy, so keep a leveled head and follow your journey to a career and dont let anything distract you.

study harder and stay in school

If I could go back and talk to myself I would have a few suggestions. I would tell myself to take a career or profession test to help determine what exactly they would want to do.

That there are lots of ways and options to help pay for their education.

I have always tried very hard to be an excellent student. I have worked diligently to maintain good grades, establish good academic relationships with my professors and advisors, and to find a successful career path. However, one thing I have come to realize is that there is more to school than just academics. Another vital aspect of a well-rounded education that I have seemed to overlook after all this time is the importance of extra-curricular activities. So if I could go back in time and give my high school self some well-needed advice, it would be to get involved! Being a part of the social community at your university, whether it is through a club, volunteer work, or even a sport, instills in a person qualities like teamwork, compassion, and drive. It allows one to be socially connected to others who have similar goals and interests and, conversely, to be open to new and diverse views and experiences. Ultimately, getting involved promotes personal growth, great social skills for future job endeavors, and teaches one to become a contributing citizen in their own community. For these reasons, this is the best transitional advice I could possibly give myself.

The classes I have taken to meet G.E requirements help me understand the world, different points of view. College is valuable because it makes me more competitive in the market place, it has also help me to interact with people I wouldn't usually encounter in my everyday life.

Going to Georgian Court University, I've learned a lot about myself. Being on my own forced me to make descions and truely get to know myself. I've also realized how far I can push myself with acedemics as well as athletics. Balancing school, track, and family taught me vauable time management skills. Another skill I've learned is patience. Dealing with all girls all the time isn't the easiest and it can get crazy, but it's a great learning experience. It teaches you quickly that you need to have patience with people. I've learned how to live with others and aproach them with problems in an appropraite way. Attending Georgian Court has been a great experience so far, and I hope to it continues to help me as well as others learn more about themselves.

In the past two and a half years that I have attended Georgian Court University, not only have I grown intellectually, but I have developed and matured greatly as a young woman. As it is an all women campus with men enrolled in evening classes many of the courses focus on a woman's perspective which is something that not only helped me to open my eyes to the trials and downfalls we as women have faced, but all of the obsticals we as women have also overcome. The school emphasizes women's success and equal rights for everyone. The campus is full of diversity and I am constantly meeting new people who never cease to amaze me. Not only am I learning the skills to become a knowledgable and valuable Social Worker, but I am also learning who I am and what my role is in society and in my everyday environment. Georgian Court University has helped me to become the individual that I am today, and I am proud to say that.

My college experience have help me how to be a better young woman as well as how to make mistakes and be able to fix them like an adult. It also taught me that there are plenty opportunity in the outside world but i have to work very hard to make this possible. It has been valuable to attend because Georgian Court University has help me to expand my horizons when it comes down to my education .

I have recieved a lot out of my college experience.The thing that i chersied the most from my learing experience is dilliegent. I have learned to never give up no-matter how hard things may be. I also have learned that i can do what ever i put my mind to as long as i try and dont stop.

So far out of my college experience I have gained much more knowledge,everlasting friendships,and more responsibilty.It has been valuable to attend because I am learning how to live on my own and I am gaining more maturity.Being 5 hours away from home has made me become more independent because my family isn't 5-10 minutes away.I am enjoying my college experience and I know the rest of my years will be even more enjoyable.

I've gotten responsibility out of being at college. It has taught me to know when i have time to do certain things. I'm a commuter and i'm at school early in the morning and i have classes everyday. I have to know when to leave for school and when to do my homework. It was kinda difficult at first but i've gotten used to when i can do my work and when i can't. I really enjoy Georgian Court University. All the teachers are really helpfull and i know when they can help me and when they can't.

So far all I can honestly say I had very good college experience. The people were so friendly and helpful to all of the freshmen. It took awhile before I got adjusted to the environment, but it was all worth it. You learn so much, and get to be involved in various activities and meet so many people with different backgrounds.

If i could go back in time and talk to myself, I would tell myself be sure look up the financial aid options that are avaliable. I also would tell myself to work on better study habits. In high school I was a big procrastinator and if I would have been better prepared, my freshman year would not have been such a struggle!

As a senior I did not participate in many activities. All I did was work 32 hours a week every week. I would say I did not have much of a life. Knowing what I know now with filling out applications for college and college organizations I would tell myself to get involved. The college and the organizations always asked if I did any volunteer work or joined any club or sports during my senior year and I always replied with a no. Colleges and Universities really look down upon that. They want to hear you weren?t the wall flower in high school. I am trying to justify my decisions senior year through my two younger sisters by taking them to our local nursing home to volunteer.

If I were to go back in time when I was a senior; there would be a lot of information I would tell myself about the college life. During my journey to my senior year, I would help generate myself into learning more about the educational requirements that college teaches us. The advice that I would give myself would be to better student, get the understanding of passing my test due to test anxiety, teach myself to better comprehend the work given to me, and to find my rhythm of being in a larger class room setting. Further more, I would get my teacher?s to help me better understand the criteria that they are teaching me. Also, to tell myself know that college life isn?t all about parties and sororities. College is about making a commitment to your work studies that way you can achieve the goal of graduating. Nonetheless, my top priority would be to tell myself to not worry too much about college because it hasn?t come yet. To let myself know that whatever I?ve learned so far will help me accomplish whatever I will learn throughout my college years.

Going back in time to be a hischool senior again is something that I always used to think about. There are so many things that I would tell myself in order to be better prepared for the college life and making a smoother transition. I would some it up in five simple peces of advice that would have made the transition a little smoother. The first thing would be that college and highschool are two different worlds, the work may be familliar but the load does not compare. The second thing would be that you are soley responsible for yourself, there is no bell that tells you to go to the next class or when it is time for lunch. The third thing would be to do all your assigmens in their entirety, dont skip steps because the professor goes over everything. The fourth thing would be to not spend your money on things you dont need because most dinning facilities are closed on the weekend and you might need it then. The fifth thing would be to be active and get involved , you make more friends and you are less homesick.

I would have told myself to get out, see the country as I did, but to then get down to business, stop wasting time and go to school. I would also tell myself to get the Ascociates degree, pay attention to grades sooner, then transfer to GCU and live on campus at least one semester while I am still young and unattched enough to do it and enjoy it. I would also tell myself what I wish a financial aid counselor had told me.. "Do NOT take out any more in loans than is absolutely necesary". Other than that, I think I made the right choices in my life.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself when I was a high school senior I would tell myself to visit all of my choices for college before making any decisions. It pays off in the end to know what you're getting yourself into. I would also tell myself to apply for three times as many scholarships as I did. College is expensive and any free help needs to be taken.

Stay focused don't loose sight of my goal. Use all of the services my school provides. Such as free tutoring, book vouchers, career development, the weight room, and the library. Find ways to not have to spend my money for something. Whether it's books, a trip, fitness, food, anything that a college student usually spends money on. Talk to everyone, build my network. Always look and be professional, you never know is looking or how your actions are going to effect you late in life.

I would tell myself to search and look into colleges better. Think about what I really want out of life before I make a desision.

Keep up with school work!!

go with your gut on what ever it is

Find out how to get a free laptop for college.

This is a very hard question to answer. Finding the right college is difficult especially if you do not know how or what to look for. The most important factor may be to find a school that has the major or carreer that you, as a student, are looking for. If and when you visit, make sure you feel at home on the campus before deciding.

Make sure the student goes on a tour of the campus and does an overnight, just to make sure thats where they want to attend.

The advice i would give someone about there decision of choosing a school would be to choose a school that is most similar to your lifesyle. because then you will fit in easily. In addition, choose a school with high graduation rates.

Allow the student to make a decision in a college on what FEELS right to them. Ensure that the curriculum at the school matches your expectations of college and that the social life equally matches your wishes. Try not to make a decision based on financial aid because that may always change. The college of your choice should feel right from the moment you step on campus until the day you graduate.

The most important advice that I would give to any parents is to let their child attend a school where he/she feels the most welcomed. Making a child attend a school where they are not 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} into is a dis-service to the child. The parent must support and provide encouragement to any students to whatever school they want to attend.

please dont let your kids come here it is so wack but the week days are ok the weekends are lonley

College is a big step for many people and they will meet new faces and have tons of different experiences. It is important that the college you choose will help you become the best version of the person you want to be. When selecting you should look at aspects of the school such as class size, campus location, and diversity, because these are the factors you will have to deal with for the duration of your education. By picking a college that fits your needs you will become more tolerant of others and learn how to work as a team while getting the education that can take you where you want to go. Once you have found the perfect match the biggest thing to remember is time management. A lot of students get swept up by their new surroundings and friends but it is important to balance your work load and your social life because, let's face it, college isn't cheap. So don't waste it! Finish that paper then go have fun, join clubs, and make friends because college can be a great experience. You just have to decide what you want and go for it!

My advice to student is to make sure that you really want to go to the school you choose. my mother always told me that money was no option, even though we can barely afford the school im going to now. she just wanted me to be happy with my choice. that was a very comforting feeling, and thats the best advice i can give to parents. make your son or daughter feel comfortable with thier choice and always support them.

Live on campus and do your best at what you are studying!!

I would want to tell students looking at colleges and trying to find the one for them to look at all that are available to them, and go for the tours for each. I think students need to consider if they like the campus and its size, the dorms, and the class sizes. Definately students should do some research to find out if this is the best school they could go to for what they want to do. The most important thing however, is if the school feels right. When I picked my school I loved it at the tour. Once students get to school they are tempted not to go to class and once in a while everyone needs a mental health day but don't make it everyday. When it comes to school work and classes, just make sure you go and get all your school work done. The most important things for new students is to remember to have fun too, get involved as much as possible. They need to be silly and outgoing, do clubs and sports what ever is available, it makes all the difference. It will give them something to look back on.

Before choosing a college to attend, it is important to go on campus tours and to figure out what your major will be before enrolling.

Visit as many schools as you can to find the perfect fit for you.

If you are looking for a college don't only look at the programs for your major also look at the neighborhood as well as what different activities they have on campus. Another priority is making sure that your student feels like they fit in. It's almost essential for being in colege that you truely feel like you belong and have a friend on the campus.

Make sure you really find out about the campus and what type of courses are offered.

Visit multiple schools

Finding the right college is really a long and difficult process. There are so many schools out there that are really top notch but they may not have the homey feel that you are looking for. Keep in mind that when you are touring your top school, that you will be there for four (maybe more) years of your life. That is a long time to stay in a place that you might not like after a few months. If your top schools offer overnight stays, JUMP on it! It will really show you what the school is like and how the students act without parents around. College is a great experiance but you need to stay grounded. Keep in touch with your friends but find a balance. Without it, it will be harder to hang out with both sets of friends. The friends you meet in College will most likely be your friends forever. There are bonds made here that can never be broken. Above all, HAVE FUN but always study and do your assignments. It can really come back and haunt you. Good Luck!!

I would tell students to make sure they know and understand the financial cost and responsiblitly. Also students should pick a place that feels like a home away from home.

Pick a school where your going to feel comfortable with and your going to be able to enjoy yourself.

The most important thing to do is to ask as many people as you can before entering if they have gone or heard of the college you choose. Ask their apinion of the teachers and staff, how helpfull they are and if the school has a good name for your goals. What percentage of the students get jobs when they leave? Would you perfer large or small classes? How far you want to travle if you aren't an on-campus student. Can you afford the price of tuition? In order to save money, it may be better to start off at a community college and get an assosiates and then carry on to the more expensive four year university. Some colleges are better in some academic areas then others. Some do better with disabled or learning disabled individuals. All this can be found out by asking around. If you are still undecisive, it is worth starting at any college just to get you going. A semester isn't very long. If it doesn't work out, you can always drop out and continue in a college which is more of your choice.
