Darton State College Top Questions

If I could return to high school, I would concentrate more on academics and less on just getting out and making money. I have discovered that making money is not really that difficult, but understanding the world and its cultural nuances is quite hard. The subjects we studied in high school were preparing me for college, but at the time I did not really appreciate groundwork that was being laid. Now, as a junior in college, I can see the preparatory work for what it really was. It was a preface for the work I am doing now. If I could offer advice to anyone planning to attend college, and who would not considering today?s job market, I would tell them to work harder and smarter in high school so they will be ready for the intensity and difficulty they will experience in college.

Have fun but be strict on yourself. Don't study last minute and keep your priorities straight. Being responsible is the only way to make it to your goals.

I would give myself if I went back to my senior year pick the college that's right for yourself and make sure you can do your whole six years their and don't transfer. Look for as many scholarships and grants as possible and don't give up .

I would definately tell myself (in detail) the consequences of financial aid and how important it is to maintain a good gpa. I would also recommend myself to ask around and get to know other students for they will be great help in the future in so many ways (it's okay, because they're much cooler and mature than typical high school students *wink*). The last thing is to not be affraid to take chances. The college life is, most of all, a learning experience so have fun.

I would tell myself it is better off following yourself because you make your own decisions. Your grades are going to make it in universsity not your friends. Keep going to classes and passing them so you can have a shorter time in college and finish.
