I would say find the place that makes you the happiest. You will not have a very succesful college experience if you go to a school where you are miserable. For some students a large school makes them happy, and others prefer a smaller school. The most important things to keep in mind are finding a place you are comfortable and happy, that is affordable, and can help you meet your academic goals. Also, have fun!

I strongly encourage everyone to go out on campus and get involved! The friends made in college are the ones that will last a lifetime. Get involved in Greek, Program councils, Student Government, Community Service Organizations, anything! You will not regret, and it will make your time at college the best years of your life.

To find the right college, you need to look around and not set your mind to just one. Go to your counselor and set up meetings with the colleges you have in mind, and tour them. Touring the campus before you decide is a wonderful idea in that you can get a feel of the college is like. Once you attend the college of your choice, dont spend all your time studying. Set aside time to have to yourself, go out with friends, go to clubs, meeting, or join groups. The more interaction you have with other students, the better off you will be.

Look first at what is important to you. Second, look at and address goals your family has set for you. There maybe a compromise at this point. Visit the campus 1st yourself and 2nd with your parents. If it is the right one; then, you will know it by these.

Stay focused on your work. Pick a college that has an area you are interested in studying.

Priorotize what you want from the college experience. Enjoy yourself and don't forget the reason why you went to college. Dont be scared to change your major if you realize that the field you started out in is not for you. Make the best of your time at college, meet new people, try new things and don't conform to be like everyone else. Keep your indiviuality and be true to yourself. Never confort/change to be like others just so you can be accepted.

The advice that i would give especially to new coming students, is that first your grades are important, so always stay on top of their grade point averages. I would tell them to take advantage of the tutoring programs on campus, especially if they are having a problem in that specific area, because alot of people don't realize it, but our tuition pay for it, so we might as use it. Alot of the students on Campus in Cameron always complain about how there is'nt much to do, well my advice to them would be, you have to be active and open to new things in college life. there are so many people from different countries and states on campus, why not get together and share things and do things you've never experienced before. For example, at cameron we have alot of Africans and Carribean students on campus, and they throw the best reggae parties ever!!!!! I'm not trying to say party all the time, but I am trying to say, is to make the best out of college life, you only have one oppertunity to do it, but be smart and responsible in the meantime.
