Liberty University Top Questions

Visit WITH an upperclass student that is well ivolved in the school. Know vaguely what you would like to study and contact a student from the same school of learning.

I think the most important thing in choosing a college is visiting the campus, and seeing if could fit there. There are certain thinge one needs to take into account, such as size of the student body, the classes offered, the opportunites for fun, and for growing mentally, spiritually and emotionally. I think the most important thing in regards to making the most of one's college experience is finding friends that will stand by you when the tough gets going. Friends who believe in you and will help you, laugh with and at you, and keep you humble. Students today put more of an emphasis on the relational aspect of college, I know I have. But it's also important to make sure you do your best academically so that when these 4 years are over, there is a good job opportunity waiting for you.

Visit the school before you decide. I was going to go to another school but when I got on campus there it felt so wrong. Also, don't be afraid to try new things. You never know what you'll like! And don't stick to just one set of friends. Branch out and meet as many people as you can.

No matter who the student is or where they came from they should feel comfortable at their new school. The school should bring out the best in the student, encouraging them to try and fail so that they can one day succeed. The student should feel comfortable participating in the school activities they wish to be involved in. The student should find time in their schedules to be involved with campus activities and community volunteer work but make sure they always have enough time for their studies.

There really so no "right college" per say for every student, but there are a of things to stay away from. First off If the college is a state school students receive great educations, but they are usually hard partying schools and you are you child whoever is attending will mostlikely do alot of partying. Yes that is a generalization, but one I believe to be accurate. Secondly it is imparative one looks into the area sorrounding the school. If there are no close venues, shopping centers, or intertainment, the student will find it difficult to have a good time off campus. It is also important you are very informed about the schools success rates and accredation. If the school is not accredited you are wasting your time, because in the end the Government does not accept them as a school for a reason and no one else will either. Lastly, it is important to know the intelectual climate of the school. This meaning, how accedemocally deloped are the programs, How educated are the staff members, how serious are the students about learning.

College life is so amazing and it really makes an impact on your future completely. What you do in college and what you learn both in and out of the classroom affects your life in so many different ways. That's why it's so important that you find a college that fits you. Your senior year should be spent checking out colleges both for academic reasons and personal reasons. Once you feel you've narrowed down your choices, go to those colleges and check them out yourself. Going to a college and checking it out is different than just reading a pamphlet or going to a website. That way, when you do attend college, you will know that without a doubt the school you are at is where you are supposed to be. Have fun and relax, school only lasts a few short years so soak up everything you can before it's over.

When looking for a college look for what you want to experience, not what your parents want you to. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Finding the right college and making the most of the college experience is about taking risks and learning about yourself in the process. I highly suggest using CollegeBoard.com. to get an initial idea of what you are looking for in a college. Then, take a fieldtrip and go visit some campuses. Get a feel for the campus and try to imagine what it would be like to live there. Talk to the students, eat in the cafeteria, and attend some classes and events. Once you find a school that you like (or love), get your financial aid situation squared away with FAFSA, summer jobs, and other sources of funds. When you are finally at the school of your dreams, get involved! Follow your hobbies, talents, and interests wherever they lead you. Make lots of friends from all walks of life. Volunteer, create, and work hard. And don?t forget to have fun. Remember what Ms. Frizzle from the Magic School Bus always says, ?Take chances, make mistakes, and get messy!?

My advice would be to find a college that has a good program for the degree you are seeking. Also, find a place where you are comfortable with living arrangements, class room style, and how the staff treat you. Find a college where you are comfortable with the rules and regulations, a place that focuses on hard work but also having alot of fun. Lastly, I would advice visiting any campus before you decide to go there to see if you enjoy the environment. Remember, college is about the degree you are seeking not about being irrisposible and having to much fun being immature. There is plenty of time to have fun with friends, but the best advice i can give is to not let hanging out with your friends rule your schedule; it will deffintaly bring you down.

Make sure that the student relizes that college is a learning expierence. It will be diffucult at time, but never give up. Strive for all you can be. Never give up, never surrender. If you do not give it your all, you are cheeting yourself of a life long expierence. Put your best effort into it. But remember, college is not for everyone. Studding hard is expected if you want to succeed in life. You can read and hear about it as much as you like, but it does not matter if you do not pratice it.
