Bowie State University Top Questions

The best thing to do in order to find the perfect school for you is to set up a few days to see what the campus is all about. Also it is important for prospective students to talk to current students without parents to get the real deal on what the campus is like and for the parents to meet the parents of current students to do the same.

The best advice I would give would be to go to as many open houses as you possibly can. That way you are able to know which school has the desired major that you want. The only thing that I wouldn't recommend is a school that is strictly there for parties and the school turns into a social event. Most college freshmen are sucked into this and in the end are dissatisfied and end up transferring out because on the lack of school work being done.

Visit the campus and meet as many people on and off campus as you can.

The most advice I could give is to visit the school before you make a choice. Your school should be a reflection of you. Visiting the school will allow you to get a feel of how the campus life is. Secondly, make the best out of school. Get invovled! Getting invovled allows you to meet new people and make memories. You only have one life to live; so live it with no regrets. If you want to be a band geek be a band geek, if you want to play sports, do it. Make the best out of your time spent at college. Lastly, no who you are and dont change your morals or beliefs for anyone. Often times people get mixed in the wrong crowd. Its ok to say no to alcohol and drugs. Surround yourself with positive things and college will end up to be a great learning experiance as well as a great memory.

Make sure you go on a college tour and try out of state you never know. When you find your school you will know no one can tell you what school is for you.

Go somewhere farther from home, dont make the cost of the school a major concern, save all that money from graduation (you'll need it)

I would say to the parents to back up their children no matter what decision they make. I would tell the students to make the right choice for themselves both academically and financially.

As a freshman it is always good to find a school that have strong academic feilds with a live campus life. Most likely a freshman would be more into the campus life but after a year or so they will reaize how different it is in college with no one to make you go to class. This is where the responsibilty that a child is taught and put into play. Grades become far more important when a price is put on education. It is also good to join organizations because job fields look at them and they make the connection stronger on top of outstanding academics.

Start looking and applying early. Tour campuses and ask questions, and be constantly looking into scholarship opprotunities. When on campus, keep looking, don't fall behind in your coursework, and plug into activities you enjoy and/or that relate to your field of study.

When choosing a college you should decide whats best for you. I believe that a person shouldnt go to a college just because their parents went or because they want to follow their friends. College is a place where you go to start over. Its a place where you find who you really are. the people you befriend in college will be the most important people in your life. College effects you emtotionally, physically, and mentally. At the end of the day you will feel so proud of yourself from all of the work you have done. College is the final lap in the race, its your time to buckle down and show what you're really made of. You''ll laugh, cry, scream, and show any and every emotion you can think of. Even though BSU wasnt my frist choice as a school, I'm glad that I was able to come here. I befriended alot of people that I know I will keep forever. THey motivate me everyday to keep pushing and persuing my dreams. We study together, we help each other, and we grow together. College is what you make it and I wouldnt change a thing
