Indiana University-Purdue University-Indianapolis Top Questions

Findthe college that fits you or your child needs and get out there and try to have fun expriences in college.

My main advice to parents or students is to go where you want to go. Don't attend a college because other people want you to attend that college, you may not fit in or it may not be the college for you. If you have a idea of what you would like to major in, try to base your college career of that and choose which college has better opportunities for you and for your major. In the end, the choice of college you decide to attend is your choice not your friends or family, but yours. Getting involved as much as possible, especially your freshman year in college is the best way to get a good college experience. It allows you to meet knew people and form friendships and it also allows you to figure out what you like about the clubs. Getting involved helps you have a better outlook about college and keeping yourself around good people and staying out of trouble to accomplish your goals in life at the university you decide to go to. Life is all about choices and dreams, so furfill those dreams with a good college experience.

Students and parents need to both consider the options of which college to attend. Students need to find the college that is right for them and that will give them the right education for what they want to do after school. For example, after high school I wanted to become an event planner. I was accepted to IUPUI and University of Indianapolis (U of I). U of I did not have a program for what I wanted to do, so I decided to go to IUPUI. I am really glad I did. I am so happy with my decision. If you do not choose the right college, then you will not be satisfied and you may have to pay more money than you had to. In order to gain college experience, just be who you are and do what you want to do. Join clubs, volunteer, or tutor other students. Getting more involved in your school will definitely pay off in the future. It will look good on your resume, to future employers, and you will feel good about yourself as well.

My advice to parents/ students is to research as much as you can the school that cater to your major.
