Johnson C Smith University Top Questions

I would tell them to do a background check on the school and visit it before they make a decision. I would also tell them to attend a school that best fits them and offers the major or program that will really help them out in the real world. I would also like to share with them to not attend a schhol just because it's a "generation" school. Go with what works best for yourself and not what runs in the family. College is a time where you find yourself.

The advice I would give to parents and students that are trying to find the right college for themselves would be to consider going to a college that is not close to your home. To the parents I would advise that they be understanding of their college student and challenge them to grow up and learn how to hand situations responsibly. For students I would advise that you do not choose a school just because your friend want to go to that school, but choose a school simply because they can offer you education in your selected area of study. Students be prepared to meet people from different backgrounds, and get to know your professor and build relationships with everyone you meet. The relationsips that you establish in college can last for a lifetime. To the parents, be supportive of your children because they will need it.

My advice to parents and students is to find what fits you. Not every student can be successful in a large school, some need more personal and individual help. Some students on the other hand do not need to be in a smaller school to fit their needs, they may not be one that needs a lot of individual help, so the larger schools may be for them. Every student is different and parents and families need to understand that. Brothers and sisters may have grown up in the same house their whole life, but that does not mean that they must go to the same college. One may flourish there while the other may slip through the cracks. College choices are individual and must be treated as such, afterall they will be living there nine months out of the year.

I would tell them to choose a school that will offer them something academically. I would also tell them to get involved with activities on campus. If they dont, they will not be able to get the full college experience.

Base your decision on opportunity plus potential. An environment to grow is an environment for success.

Make sure you do reseach on any school that you are applying for, that's how you will know it is the right one for you. Also be open to new things, and don't be afraid to take chances, sometimes being on your own can be a little intimidating, but it teaches you how to be independant, and responible. Just know that you are not the only one who has to go through the transitioning stage, everyone who went to college, at one point, had to go through the same thing. Just enjoy yourself and work hard, because in the end, the friendships you've made and the knowledge you've obtained, will all be worth it. Good Luck!!!

My advice for future or current college srudents would be to investigate the school you are most instrested and never just apply to one school, because there is never a guarentee. College prepares you for the real world, so take advantage of all the positve resources provided for you. Have fun, but remember to stay focused. College is all about time management, learning difficult, but promising life lessons, work ethics, and of course leisure/free time. Transition can be hard, but it will all be worth it in the end. Good Luck!!

My advice to students that want to go to college is to chose a school that fits you and who you are. What I mean by that is if your quite and you don't like a lot of noise. Then pick a school like that not a pary school. If you want a school that has small classes then do your research. You have to get up and go on tours of the campus at the school before you put in a application. If you need more information then go to the school's website or call someone at the school for more help and advice. My advice to parents when helping there children pick a school is to be open and listen to them. You need to ask question and go on the campus tours also. I guess what trying to say is help them and give advice but don't push so hard.

To all the future students you should always consider twice, so consider the things I speak, because it?s valuable advice. Begin researching schools before you graduate, because rooms are filled fast, you don?t want to be late. Ask for work study, it will provide you with skills. So when you do intern you?ll be knowledgeable in that field. Choose the right friends? because college has good and bad, this will prevent you from trouble, and pissing off mom and dad. Freshmen year is the best year but remember why you?re there, most party and flunk out, never seeing sophomore year. College is fun, it can teach you about life. It?s a place where you can find friends, or a place to find a wife. Peer pressure does exist; if you?re weak he?ll take hold. So stare the pressure in his eyes, and always tell him no. get acquainted with the three guys; APA, MLA, and GPA. It?s those three whom follow you each and every day. Listen to your heart, it says place an application in your hand, but don?t wait till the last minute, time waits for no man. Advice.

Go On tours of all schools before u make a final decision and ask current students of there opinions!
