Indiana University of Pennsylvania-Main Campus Top Questions

I would advise future students do live on campus and make as many friends as possible. Always stay on top of your school work. College can be fun and a lot of work. Stay focused but also have fun.

just go with what makes you feel confertable, you dont want to be at a school that makes you feel scared or its too easy. Pick a place that makes you feel at home and know you will be okay. When you visit the school you will know it.

With regard to picking a school, talk to as many current students as you can, in the most diverse groups that you can; ie, talk to athletes, honors students, students in many different majors. See a play or performance while visiting, visit several off-campus restaurants, visit the school on a day that's not an open-house (the food and facilities look different on those days). Make a list of the values that are important to you and then ask current students what values they have and if they're matched at the school. When you're at school, show your professors that you're trying hard; make the effort to go to class, participate in discussion even if you're shy. Ask for extensions if you need them because more often than not professors are willing to help. Use the resources available to you: internship/grad school worshops, faculty advising, the counseling center. These resources are there for you and they're part of the cost you're paying to attend the college.

I would tell students that the school farthest away from home isn't always the best school. Eventually, you will find yourself practically broke and wish you lived at home, and you were eating your moms good cooking. lol.

Do not listen to anyone else's opinion of the school. Make your own judgements on your experience. If you don't think it is right for you then don't choose that school. Make the right decision for YOU, not for your wallet. There is always scholorships and financial aid that can help. I have financial aid and look for scholorships, but don't let it get you down. Have fun and be safe, because you are only young once and you want the best experience you can possibly have while still learning and getting the education you deserve.

Let your children discover themselves and help them in that process by letting them discover themselves and be there when they need your support, or have done something wrong.

there are many things that should be taken into consideration when looking into choosing a college. one of the most important things would be deciding on what to go to school for which has a big impact on choosing the right school. then, do some investigating on what is around the school and the area that the school is in. moving to college becomes your home for most of the year so making sure you like the area as well is a big factor. once the college is decided on and school beings the best advice i could say is to make friends. when classes begin, do not be shy, talk to people in your class and get to know them. everyone is in the same boat as you. college would be unservivable without friends.

Make sure you find out about the schools Financial Aid policies!

I would encourage everyone to do a thorough research. I would encourage the parents to be a part of their child's college search. Campus visits are a crucial part of you college decision making process. I would expect for each student to comprise a list. Filling out scholarships, and applying for financial aid early is the only way to secure an adequate amount of funding. I encourage everyone to take a shot a college. I'm a firm believer that college is for everyone. :)
