Bob Jones University Top Questions

If you are a believer pray about the choices that you make about your future. To make the best of your college experiance find good friends that will lead you in the right direction. You become who your friends are.

My first advice is to go. A student will miss out on a variety of amazing opportunities if they do not go to college. My second advice is to look around. There are many different types of schools. A student should look for a school that has many opportunities. If a student cannot get involved then they will not be able to experience college the way they could if they were involved. A student should also get involved early because being involved is a great way to meet people and make good friends. My third advice is to start early. A student should start while they are in the lower grades of high school. They can get much done during their first couple of years of high school. They should study hard and learn as much as they can while taking the required tests early and several times, so they will be able to make the best possible score for them.

I would say that choosing a college based on friends and/or boyfriends would be a bad choice. Choosing a college that has numerous amounts of majors would be the ideal place to go exspecially if one is not sure what there major is going to be.

When looking for the right college you have to do a lot of research. First, you want to look for a school that has a high academic standard. Second, you have to make sure that the field of study you are interested in is offered as a major and that the school is acredited so that you can get into graduate school if you want to. Third, you should call to get an appointment to visit the school so that you can talk to professors, administrators, and students to get an idea of what your life would be like if you attended that school. The last thing you should do is to find out what kind of financial aid and scholarship programs that are offered. One other thing I would suggest is that you try to find a college that has strict standards against drinking and drugs among students and faculty. If you are serious about your studies you need to find a school that will encourage your academic career more than your social life.

Take time to visit the colleges you are interested in and try to talk to students who are in the major you are interested in. If possible, try to spend a night or two in the dorms, because you can get an accurate feel for the attitudes toward the school, the rules, and general campus life in this environment. Take a good look at course descriptions in your major to see if it is truly a major in which to invest your college career and beyond. If you will need to work, talk to student workers about how they are treated and how willingly their supervisors work with their schedules. Find out about the cultural and sporting events that are available at the school, and attend one, if possible. Look for a college that will provide you with the opportunities and support you need to achieve your goals, and with enough diversity to stretch your worldview.

First, you must understand the importance of finding the right college. College will effect three major parts of life plus more. Lifetime best friends are met at college. Future spouses are met at college. Future careers are dependant on the college chosen. As you can see, the choice of college is a big deal. This decision can effect so many important parts in a student's life. Second, my advice to students is to understand the importance of school. Yes, college is also about fun and friends, but the most important aspect is education. Make sure the college you choose has a strong focus on education and is not just known as the "party school." You can party at most any school, but not every school will grant you the education you need to make it in the carreer world. Last, my advice to parents is to understand your child. Don't push him or her to go to a school that only you want. Be flexible and let your son or daughter visit the schools he or she wants. You must be supportive all the way. He or she will not be successful in an environment that is unenjoyable.

Study hard.

Make sure that the professors truly love the student body and love what they teach. Make sure that the student body love the school, and are willing to help underclassmen in their more difficult classes.

Choose a school that has a good focus on your major and also choose a school that agrees with your world view.
