Chowan University Top Questions

If you are a parent, I would tell you that you need to visit all the colleges that your child wants to attend. Because even though you have a brochure, seeing the real thing is amazing. And let the child choose because they tend to know what they want. Students, do not choose a school just because there is a lot to do or many bars around the school. If you're going to spend so much money on a college education you should get something good out of it. Last of all, if you have more than one college that you are looking at, look at all the benifits and disadventages of each and choose which one you think is going to be the most condusive to learning but also having a life.

The advice I would give to parents and students is to make sure they know what they want out of a school. Before committing to a school, resource it and know just what they are all about. Also, when applying to schools, be sure that they offer the major in which one is interested in achieving. The best way to make the most out of college is to really get involve. Check around campus and see just what activities and clubs are available. It is also a good idea to know students on campus. College isn't all about academics, beyond popular belief; it's also about finding one's place in society.

Pick a school where you can express your personality freely. If you do not feel comfortable, then it is not the right choice for you. Make sure that accademics always comes first. That is the most important thing. Don't worry about any financial problems. Just sit down and talk to an advisor and everything will work out. Do not be afraid to talk to people when problems arrise. That's what they are there for. Take advantage of any oppritunity given to you. Last but not least, enjoy this experience. It will last you a lifetime.

While trying to find the right college; visit the campus more than once. While visiting the campus, do different activities, if the soon-to-be student does not feel invovled or enjoying oneself; it probably isn't the right place for he/she. College is everything the student makes it. The student can be a hermit and graduate in four years, or the student can be and stay involved all four years and it can be the best four years of his/her life. College has been a wonderful expierence for me. I have fully enjoyed every second of school thus far.
