Adrian College Top Questions

When you are looking for a school, make sure you visit the campus and, if at all possible, take advantage of opportunity for an overnight visit with a student. Doing both of these things will allow you to know if you feel comfortable on the campus and with the students at that school. Take advantage of any scholarship, and apply for all possible. When you are at school, make sure to get to know your advisor, and use any opportunity possible to have help making your schedule and planning your 4-yr (or whatever it may be) plan. You are on your own, plan your time appropriately. Do not completely forget about your social life, but make sure that you always put your academics before your social life. Keep your parents involved, and they can help you make a smoother transition into life on your own.

For parents and new students trying to figure out what school best suits their lifestyle, personality or religous views, they need to visit the campus and town during regular hours and ask questions. If a student can visit overnight or for a weekend to see what campus life is like away from their parents, they can make an unbiased judgement for themselves about the college. The person or persons trying to establish a feel for a campus need to understand also that things change between seasons and from dorm hall to dorm hall. Parents and new students should ask a lot of questions and expect an answer, do not hold back! If a parent is concerned about drugs and alcohol, ask the safety or security office; a sophomore alcoholic will deny any problems on campus to avoid the angry R.A. Students also need to research every aspect of the campus, from dorm life, to night life, campus activities and study groups. No question is too small or too big. Dig for any and all information possible that may one day affect the college experience. Again, feel out the campus, learn everything there is about the college up and down.

When selecting colleges, SHOW NO MERCY IN APPLYING TO COLLEGES!!! You never know what may happen to your dream college/university and you want to have an alternative place to go. With that being said, certain colleges/universities have scholarships that involve your elective classes or your outside activities in high school. I'm not saying apply to every college in America as well as Canada, but do not be lazy when applying to colleges/universities because you might not want to stay in your state; you might want to go to a private college; a small college; trade school or anything less than a community college. You want to pick a campus that will scream out to you when you step on it. Don't settle for anything less and don't have any regrets. The biggest goal is go beyond the requirements of the school and never get SICK! Your senior year is not a game take it as seriously as your freshman year of high school and that will carry on into your college years.

Visit the campus. Sit in on classes, and find out the most you can. Do not go somewhere for sports; unless that is what you want to do with you life. Take your college life seriously, and do youself a favor, STUDY!

Make sure it is where you want to be. Go for a campus visit. Don't go or apply somewhere because you have friends going there. Go and meet new people, it will change your life in a positive way. Also, get involved. Dont' be shy to try new things.

It is very important to visit the school that you would like to attend, and find out everything that you can about it.Find out about the classroom size,find out about the population of the students that attend the college that you are asking about,and also find out about the educational programs that they have available.It is important to keep in mind that there is no such thing as a "perfect" school.There will always be things about the school that could potentially be "better," so it is important to make the most out of it.Classroom size is important because it determines the type of education that you will be receiving.Students are more likely to go to a class where their attendance is important and mandatory,rather than a class where the professor isn't teaching it and no one cares. Although it is important to love the college that you are attending,it is also important to keep in mind that the reason why you are attending college is because of your education,nothing else.Everything else just comes along with it,such as making friends,etc.
