Mississippi College Top Questions

When looking for the right college, start early! You can cover so many more schools by starting early and are much more likely to pick the school where you fit. Visit schools and see the atmosphere of the campus. Once in college, try new things. You don't have to compromise your morals, but talk to someone different or take a random class that has nothing to do with your major; you just may make a friend and find a new hobby. College is a transition time between high school and grown up life; make the most of it!

Make sure that your child is comfortable and that it is a safe environment and most important pray about it:)

Students: Future college students should really put some research into the college they want to attend and earn their degree from. The research will really help you gain an insight to the campus and the college atmosphere. Also make a visit to the campuses to gain some input from students that are attending the school and meet some of the professors. Join and be active in groups on campus; it will help you make friends and also look good on the resume' to future businesses. Parents: Make sure you sign up for the best student loan services and encourage your student to be active in the community and apply for scholarshipsStay in check with the student but don't over do it or they will never come home.

I believe that selecting the right college is crucial. You must make sure that you visit the campus you are considering beforehand, maybe by staying with a friend or just visiting. This way you can see the social aspect of the college and if you like the idea of what goes on there. Also, I believe that you should talk to many different people about their own personal experiences there, if they enjoy their classes, how well/interesting are the professors, if they could go back would they still attend that school, what are the social aspects of this school etc. etc. etc. When you talk to multiple people, you can find out the true essence of a school. If you do not know many people at this school, you could even "facebook" people to get answers to the questions you want to ask. Hands-on research is a great way to decide which school is best for you. Make the best of your college experience by trying to meet as many people as you can and being open to all different kinds of people. Go out, have fun but truly try to educate yourself in the process.

Go where you want to go, make it happen. The money to pay for it is out there you just have to find it. t

Choosing a college is one of the most daunting and most important decisions you will make, but don't let it overwhelm you. Start narrowing down schools by listing those you're interested in and look to see what programs they have available. If you're undecided, having options is important so you don't have to bother with transferring later. Apply early, so you have time needed to visit the campuses as well as the most access to scholarships and financial aid. Being able to finance school is a necessity, but don't base your decision solely on cost. Find out what student life is like on campus, ask about housing, social organizations, and academic clubs. Ask admissions representatives if you can speak with current students and talk to professors in the departments you're interested in. Make an effort to get involved and meet people once you start school. Chances are there is an organization or club that would fit your interests, and if theres not, start one. Many professors would be glad to sponsor a new organization that interests them. Most importantly, choose a school that fits you, don't force yourself to fit the school.

The choice of which college to attend is very important because the quality of the education you get directly affects the furthering of your career and which graduate schools you are accepted to.

Look for the one that gives you what you need for your major and the one that fits you the most. Some people like the large campus and some like them smaller. So just make sure you chose the one the right for your personality.

Seek the Lord & He will guide you! :)

Finding the right college and making the most of your college experience go hand in hand. You will most enjoy yourself in a place where you can get connected easily, feel taken care of by administration and staff, and can find people just like you. College is all about new experiences and a well-rounded education, including meeting people from all over the world and every different background imaginable, but if you don't find people you can connect to you will not feel truly at home. This can include people of the same mindset academically, athletically, politically, religiosly, etc., or who share the same interests outside of school--backpacking, music, partying, etc. Most importantly, you want an environment geared toward academic achievement, but I strongly believe people strive to do their best in an environment where they most enjoy themselves in other areas such as their social life just as long as they can prevent themselves from getting carried away. One last thing: find a place that offers study abroad programs, it is an invaluable experience. Find a place where you can get plugged in and feel at home and college will the best years of your life!
