Gardner-Webb University Top Questions

Take your time and explore your options while trying to find the right college to go to. Don't rush into any decision and don't let any decision be based off of just one factor. Try to base your college decision off of as many factors that you can think of. To enhance your college experience, I would advise that you try to participate in as many activities on campus as possible without burning yourself out. When you participate in as many activities as possible you not only have fun, but you also get the chance to meet new people and build friendships that will last a lifetime.

My advice to the parents of any college-bound student, but to the student himself/herself would be, find a college that bests fits who you are and leave space open for your developement as a person. It's okay if you don't know what your major is or will be, and if you have to switch schools to find the right degree program for you, that's okay too! No one elses acedemic success or failure matters when it comes to your schooling, because in the long run the only thing that will matter will be the effort you put forward and the achievements you've made. You will find who you are and you won't always be awkward, but you will be changed. Go where you can grow best and where you can be nutured--even if it's out of your comfort-zone. Sometimes, that's where we grow best.
