Lourdes University Top Questions

Buckle down and learn to manage my time. I always heard that no one will be on my back in college telling me what to do. I attended Hunter College but I didn't finish/ I feel as if I quickly got lost in college, and struggling to divide my time into dedication for school and having a social life. If I knew now what I knew then I think I'd have stuck it out

The advice that I would give to myself back when I was a senior in High School and I have currently given to my cousin who is going to be graduating from High School is to make sure the college or University you are going to is accredited in the program you are studying for. Really research your area of study to make sure it's what you want to go into. Be ready to make the choices that you want, because in college it is up to you to do what you want to do. Also, never give up on your education, it may be discouraging at times but it is all worth it in the end when you receive your diploma and know you accomplished something important in your life.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior I would give myself some very valuable advice that would help me become a successful, career orientated individual. I would tell myself to adopt regular study habits and times, never procrastinate, take advantage of tutoring offered by the college, use study guides, and ask plenty of questions.

So, finally you are a senior! You have gotten to the end of a long, winding road to adulthood. Now, you are ready to begin your life as an adult. You may still be a little afraid of where life will take you. You will have many decisions to make. Try to choose wisely. Be open to the possibilities that are before you. Challenge yourself! Don?t be afraid to take risks! Don?t compare yourself to anyone else. When you compare yourself to others, you will always come up short. You will be comparing your insides with everyone else?s outsides. Everyone has fears and everyone makes mistakes. The difference is how you handle your mistakes. Don?t be afraid to say ?I?m sorry? and mean it when you say it. Never give up! Strive to become the kind of person you would be proud to have as a friend. Make a commitment to learn something new every day. Be kind even when no one is looking. Have faith. You are one-of-a-kind and you have unique talents to offer the world. Celebrate them!

I would tell myself to not follow the crowd and go to a "big college" just because a lot of people do. I went to Bowling Green State University as a freshman for one semester then to Owens Community College for the rest of the school year. BGSU was very expensive and not what I wanted. I then transferred to Owens once I found out I could take the same classes and save a lot of money. Once I was done with my pre-requisites I chose to come to Lourdes College. I choose Lourdes because of the small campus size and small classes. I did not want a large college. I knew Lourdes had a great nursing program and would give me the preparation for graduation that I needed. Overall, I feel high school seniors need to know that they need to do what is best for them and not follow the crowd. It is your money and time you are giving to your college education and you want to make the best choice for you.

High School is NOTHING like college! You are not "stuck" in the classroom for 6+ hours a day. You have indepence and freedom to choose your classes as well how you will spend your free time. Do not be afraid of college! Everyone is in the same boat. It is okay to not know something, or be anxious or scared-but do it afraid anyway! Ask for help-that is why they are there! They WANT you to attend their school! They WANT you to do well. They WANT to help you. They WANT you there~just go! GOOD LUCK!

I would definitely remind myself to stay focused on my education and not give up. College is more than just the school work, it is an experience that helps round an individual. I would tell me that there are many different financial solutios to help pay for an education such as work studies, financial aid and other loan processes, as well as a variety os scholarships. If most people would finance a house for 30 years wouldn't you finance your education that will carry yo through the rest of your life. College educations open the door to many opprotunities such as a career and later career advancement. It is much easier to do when your young than when you are 35 years old and have a family. i would also tell myself to get involved in the social events that the school offers, you never know who you will meet. This can help with networking when it comes to obtaining a job after graduation.

Going to the biggest, most well known college is not always the best choice. Sometimes going to a smaller schoool will help you in the long run due to all of the personal attention you recieve. Especially if you go into nursing, you want a smaller competition pool! The college name on the degree dosent matter as much as the degree itself!

College is not only the best years of your life, but the most important time of your life. Although having fun is an important part of college in order to relax and relieve some stress, it is most important to choose a college where you will be able to focus and recieve an excellent education. Although the next 4 years may be very difficult it is going to pay off when you are able to graduate and recieve an excellent job with the wonderful eduacation you have recieved. As long as you focus on your studies and recieve the best grades your opportunities will be endless throughout your life. The education you recieve will last forever.

I would tell myself that I can do the work. I need to make sure that I attend all of my classes which means that absenteeism is not acceptable. I need to be focused on what is expected of me. I need to do the homework because it is important to be prepared for my classes. Also, do not be afraid to ask questions if you do not understand something. Always be open to learn new things and work with others.
