Curry College Top Questions

First and foremost I would suggest that a student visit the prospective college on several occasions. It is important to visit not only for a scheduled visit, but also visit at a time when classes are in session so you are able to get a better feel for the overall college experience. Make sure the college you select has everything that you feel would be important for your college years. Some considerations that I thought were important: that your particular major is available, smaller class sizes, professors who would really want you to succeed and would be available as needed, insure that extra help would be accessible, extra-curricular activities are available to become more involved, adequate housing for all students for each year necessary, library and research materials are adequate, parking availability for each year, the safety on campus, sports facilities and the costs of the college. This is one of the most important decisions you may have made so far in your lifetime. I feel that making your decision carefully will insure a happy, fulfilling and successful college experience.

I would advise parents to tour schools, and attempt to spend a night on campus. I visited Curry College in my senior year of highschool and loved it..Yet within my first week of school I realized how much I hated it and what a difficult year I had ahead of myself.

Find a college that you will like for all 4 years, one that is the right size, with the right amount of competition. A school with the right amount of support will help every student succeed in there schoolwork. Pick a school that will be the proper environment for you, like one in the suburbs and such.

Visit plenty of colleges, look at school away from home and some close to home. Dont limit yourself
