Liberty University Top Questions

As a parent and a student you should visit the schools you're applying to and gut feelings are worth a thousand words. If the school doesn't feel right to you it probably isn't and you should keep looking. Also, don't forget to talk one on one with a financial aid officer because the more they see your face the more they'll think of you and get things done to make the most of school resources to benefit your budgeting needs. As far as making the most out of your college experience, be yourself from the onset and don't let anyone tell you who you are. College isn't like high school and blending in will get you no where unless you want to be the mediocre, less than know, person in the fifth row. Academically take the general courses first because chances are by the middle of your sophomore year you're going to change your mind as far as major, concentration, minor or everything you thought you wanted to be since you were six years old. Be daring, be brave and go for it! These are the best years of your life.

The biggest mistake I made when choosing the school I attended was I didn't do enough research on the school itself. Make sure you know what the school believes in and what they envision their students accomplishing in their careers.

The parents should make sure that the college is offering everything that they say they will do. Parents should also follow thier childs progress closely and dont just pay ther bill. Remember you pay a lot of money for college and you want to make sure that they are indeed doing what they came there to do. Pick a college that is close to home if you are not sure of your childs independence yet. Some kids can not handle being totally free of thier parents for 4 or 5 years. I can not stress more that parents must stay involved. To the students dont rush to get into a fraternity in some cases you are better off just getting a tutor. College is not a party for 5 years it is a learning institution which is preparing you for your adult life. If you are undecided on what you what to accomplish wait before you go. Parents dont force them to go remember this is thier life not yours. Just be there to help and wupport them

When looking for a college, decide a few characteristics you want to look for. If you're looking at colleges with no specific qualities in mind, you won't have any idea what you like. For making the most of your college experience, you need to live on campus for at least one year. That's where you will meet the most people and get very comfortable with the campus.

Be sure of what you want and stay focused while attending. College will lead the way to your success for the rest of your life.

I would tell parents to support their children with whatever school he/she decides to attend, and I would inform students to follow their hearts, because in the end it will be you attending the college for four years, not your parents!

I would recommend that parents and students first decide what size school they think would be best. This is best determined by physically visiting the campus(es) and feeling the sourroundings. This limits a lot of confusion about the schools and provides knowledge about what it would be like to really attend school there. In addition, I think students should narrow down which schools offer the best programs of study he or she is interested in. For me, good nursing programs limited my school choices greatly, especially because I wished to stay in my home state in order to save money. Finding the right college is a huge decision, and it should be exciting! My advice to parents and students is that they make this decision as simple and stress-free as possible, by limiting their choices from the start.

When choosing a college or university, first evaluate your reason for attending an institution of higher learning. Taylor your choice to how important your academics, career goals, or social life is to you. Also, be careful about aspiring to go to a college or university where there are few people like you. If you end up at a school that doesn't match your lifestyle, then you are setting yourself up to be miserable. Obviously, academics are important, and you only get out of school what you put into it, but when you have to do it alone, it makes for a long, lonely road. When you find the right school, get involved. Work hard, but make good friends. The knowledge you gain through the courses you take will enable you to be successful in the workplace, and the friends you make will enable you to enjoy the life that you are building for yourself. What good is success if you have no one to share it with?

There were several things that has made it easy in finding the right college. They were: -selecting a college based on length of drive to and from home -selecting a college based on known class size -selecting a college based on size of campus and surrounding community -select college with high ratio of acceptance as well as graduates -visit selected colleges in person for a full tour of classrooms and campus What really helped me narrow my choice to Liberty University was they offered a 3-4 day weekend stay so that I could experience the campus life first hand. I was able to atttend class for a day, attend activities and stay in a dorm room with students. I realized that the atmospher, community and set values were the same as I have been raised. While staying focus on my classes, I have been able to make the most of my college experience so far by joining a faternity and ministry team. I have been able to make a lot of new friends with diverse backrounds and personalities. I think I have definitely made the right choice.

I believe the best way to find the right college is asking God. He's the only person who knows every need it you life. I know not everyone are Christians but if you are pray about it. God's faithful and He will povide for you.
