Liberty University Top Questions

I would advice taking the college experience seriously while still being able to maintain a healthy social life. It is important to get homework and assignments done to the best of one's ability, but it is essential to keep in mind that everyone needs an outlet, if you always work and study without finding time for yourself it is easy to get stressed out, anxious and depressed. I would also advice getting to know and develop relationships with the professors because you will need them in order to be successful in the various courses. Call home often because a lot of students leave for college and forget to remain in close contact with their families, who tend to worry if they have not heard from their children after a long period of time. I would also advice trying new things and putting yourself in situations you would not normally try because if you do not, you will miss out on many amazing opportunities, it also helps in meeting new people, challenging yourself and building character. Above all else reflect of things to improve at the end of every semester, be proud of your accomplishments and learn from your mistakes.

Take as many CLEP tests as possbile. Entry level classes are tedious and easy to test out of. Don't spend all your money in your first semester. It's very exciting and you will want to go out with friends all the time, but it runs out quicker than you think.

The only advice that I would give myself and others would be to save my money and use it wisely, as well as buckle down and do your homework, it is fast, easy, and so much more rewarding when you complete it on time.

Give more importance to your GPA, epecially if you what to do Pre-med.

I would tell myself that college is a lot different than high school. Give yourself more time to study, do your homework and actually realize what you are learning. The material you are going to learn will stay with you for the rest of your life, it is not only your major in college but it is your future. Do not let time pass by while partying or trying to be in a relationship; college is going to be a vital part of your life that you need to take seriously. Talk to your professors, let them know your situations and struggles with the work and they will help you to succeed. Do not try and work forty hours a week if you cannot handle it, college should be your first priority because this is your future. Enjoy this time however, because after college, a career and your future is awaiting you.

If I could go back to my senior year in high school and give myself some advice, the first thing I would tell myself is, to tell my friends that I couldn?t hang out today because I had to write essays so I could turn them in and start competing for a scholarships. I would tell myself not to give in looking for scholarships in the internet and to ask around if I needed to. I would probably have told myself to look into Liberty University?s financial plan and how the payments would work out, if they offered any special scholarships, and if there were scholarships how could I get them and what would improve my chances. But one last thing that I would have told myself would be to sit with my teachers and talk to them about their college life and what I should prepare for and things that I shouldn?t worry about, I think that would have made a difference.

Reasoning to myself at that time would be difficult, but I would stress good study habits and finding a focused path for college but to mostly make plans and schedules to get things done. That young and naive man from a few years ago walked onto campus with the same studying techniques that made High School flow by ever so smoothly was not prepared for the all-nighters he would pull. While the learning curve was steep and treacherous it was nothing compared to the unnecessarily dark path affectionately known as his future. Young Thomas Scott was under the common misconception that choosing a major was not essential in your first or second year at one?s university. While waiting until year three is not a bad thing, it is not wise to neglect even thinking about your career path up to that point. He could have easily solved both of these problems by making plans and seeing them through to the goal. That young man would have finished his papers on time, thought more thoroughly about his career-path earlier, and eliminated the majority of the stress most find in the average college lifestyle.

I would give my self the advice of relaxing more and taking time meditate on heplful things.

it will be easy at first but it will get a lot harder your second year so dont screw around too much.

Time Management. College is a high level of education where ones future mostly depends. For one to be potent in future, there has to be a total commitment of oneself. As a high school senior knowing what I know now about college life and making the transition, I will advice myself to learn how to manage my time efficiently. Knowing how to manage my time as a college student will not only help me as a student but it will also help me in future as an employee, leader and as a mother managing a home. During my first semester on campus, I became so stranded and overwhelmed with school work and other activities on campus until I attended the first workshop on campus entitled "Time Management." This program helped me alot to be more productive in all aspect of my life. If I had known how to manage my time more virtuously, I would have been more successful especially in my academics than I am today. Time management is very vital to any individual who want to be successful in life. As a high school senior if I am to advice myself, time management will be my first advice.
