Nebraska Wesleyan University Top Questions

Pick the school you feel the most comfortable about. Don't worry about where your friends are going to go to school. Pick what is right for you.

The one thing to consider when choosing a college is finding the right size for you. I prefer small classes where I can get to know my professors and get one-on-one help, so I chose Nebraska Wesleyan, but the choice is up to you. Try not to worry about the cost of the school. If it's where you want to go and you are accepted, then work hard on getting scholarships and loans. It can be difficult, but if you work hard, you can usually get most of the cost in scholarships. Another thing to consider is what you want your major to be or if you are undecided. Community colleges are good for those who aren't completely decided, that way, you can get the generals out of the way. If you know what you want to do, try picking a college that focuses a lot on that specific area. Don't pick a school because your friends are going there or your parents want you to go there. Pick the college that is right for YOU!

Don't just go where your friends go. Find the college that is the right fit for you, this is the best way to get the education you want. I love my school because it fits my needs and wants!

Great Place Well worth it

Get involved.

Take a campus visit to your option/s. It will feel right once you get there.

When deciding on the right college, I think it is most important to visit the campus of several colleges and visit with the professors at that school. If the campus does not feel "homey" or comfortable, it is not likely that you will enjoy being on that campus. Getting to know the professors is very important when learning about the type of classes you might be taking in that particular major. Another important aspect of choosing a college is knowing the campus life and activities on campus as well as the financial aid offered by each school. At times, scholarships can be the most important factor when choosing a college. College should be a home away from home, and if you do not feel comfortable, safe, and optimistic about that school, it is probably not the right school for you. You should follow you heart and look past the monetary issues if everything else falls into place.

The college search experience can be one of the most exciting and scary times of your life. It's important to fully immerse yourself in your search and try to get as much out of it as you can. Parents- it's important to give input. You might have experience that can be shared. But don't pressure your children into something they may not want to do. Students- take the information that your parents, counselors, friends, etc. give you and use it all to make the best decision. Only you can know what school will best fit you. Never be afraid to ask questions! I work giving tours on my campus and I don't believe there are any stupid questions. Make sure to visit campus before you decide anything. Don't forget to have fun! Enjoy every aspect of the college search and be excited to embark on the next part of your life. College has truly been the best experience of my life. It might be a little nerve-wracking, especially if it's your first time away from home. But trust me, you'll look back on all of it with a smile on your face.

Embrace the new found thoughts on lif, that they will encounter.

Look for what is comfortable for you, what does the school offer for your major? What opportunities are there for you outside of campus as well as on?
