What should every freshman at American InterContinental University-Online know before they start?

As a high school senior all you want to think about if finishing school, you're not thinking about what's next. College is only two steps ahead of you and so is your GPA score; final grades count! All through highschool you didn't think about your grades, didn't even know what a GPA was; well start asking questions. Some of the things you might want to know about are SAT's, GPA, scholarships, grants, and loans. I know you're not worried about them now but you will be when it counts! By then it'll be too late to fix anything. Your SAT score and your GPA play a big roll in life all they way throughout Grad School. Staying focused on school couldn't be more important right now. Now is your last shot to show school what you are made of. Your bright, young, and intelligent, so prove it. Show the world that you are a great student and you'll do what it takes to make the grade! Now is your time to shine like the bright young star you are. I believe in you and so does this world!

Do not let anyone or anything influence you. Even when you are exhausted and don't feel up to doing the work, push through. You will thank yourself in the end. What seems hard now, you will look back on and realize that it is not as bad as it seems. Don't procrastinate!! I know it seems easy to put work off until later, but later you will not feel like doing it. Do it now and enjoy yourself later. Last do not forget to take some time for yourself! All work and no play is no fun! Just make sure you get done what you have to and enjoy yourself the rest of the time. These are the best days of your life and you will remeber them forever!!!!

Well this is my third time in college. I would tell myself to go straight for my Bachelor's degree. Instead of spending the money on all the classes. The education is very worth it. But you end up with a lot of bills at the end. It is very hard to figure out what pathway to follow when you are a high school senior. You start out with one major and then change your mind multiple times. So if all that fustration could be avoided and you knew exactly what you wanted out of life. It would make life so much easier. Don't you think so?

When I was a Senior at the time I didn't think college was that important so I would tell myself that college is very important and getting that degree will take you places you won't be able to imagine. Enjoy all that the college has to offer and make every minute count. You will be amazed how good you will feel with a degree in your hand and be able to accomplish anything you want. Now that I have lived half of my life I wish that someone would of told me that and gave me the encouragement I needed then. I was so afraid to take that step into college life but my college advisor was so wonderful. She gave me all the encouragement I needed and she is still supporting me emotionally. I have made the dean's list with a grade point average of 4.0!

Don't put off going to college it is the most important thing in life to get anything in life. Set your goal on what you want to be in life and the go to college to get it . That way your kids can say hey my parents did it why can't I just look at what my parents have accomplished in their life.

I would tell myself that it is alot easier to transition to college when you are already used to going to classes and doing assignments. When you get older you tend to have more issues in your personal life, and other responsibilities that could get in your way. of completeing college. Also, you won't have to spend many years of your life in meaningless jobs that you dont really want to do before you wise up and finally follow your heart and make your dreams a reality. Do better for yourself, and the people around you that are important to you. Do right by yourself even if it is hard or complicated, and never give up.

I would tell myself to really pay attention in school and choose a school on their academics not on their social scene. I would tell myself to make sure that you know what major you want to go into and make sure you have the dedication that it takes to complete school. Do your research on schools and find the best possible match for yourself.

I pre-enrolled for college my senior year of high school and decided that I wanted to take a year or two of off before going to college. The very first thing that I would say is "stay enrolled in college! Don't wait , because that wait ended up lasting 15 years." As wonderful and glamorous as it was to serve food at night, on weekends and for every holiday - I could think of so many other jobs that I could have had if I had just resisted that urge to take a year or two off. I would plead with myself not to waste 15 years of my life working jobs that I hate, living day by day, with the amount of money I made left in the hand of people who all have different ideas regarding tipping policies. There are people out there that have managed to find great jobs without an education - but you never know where the economy is going to be and one day....that great job to be had, could come down to you and someone with a Bachelor Degree. Guess who gets the job?

First off I would advise myself to study, do as good as possible in high school. The world is changing and without a good education you usually cannot be a high achiever. College or campus life is a mixture of both learning and social events which help a person to achieve a good quality education providing they apply themselves and do not fall prey to the campus party life if attending a physical school. You should want to be a high achiever, do good, learn the most you are capable of learning while attending, but also have fun and enjoy learning new things.

Enroll for college while your still in high school and start early. Don't wait a couple of years between high school and college; it's hard to go back to school once you have been out. Make sure you take your ACT and SAT it will help you greatly when you go to apply for scholarships, grants, and also financial aid. Make sure you do go to college, it's going to be worth it in the long run. You will be able to get better jobs and make more money. So unless you want to work at Wal-Mart or a fast food place getting a college education is the best thing that you could ever do.
