I would honestly tell myself that i should stay focused at all times and never give up.

Always do your work when you get it and that way you will have more time to be with your friends and you wont have to crunch for time.

Work hard throughout your freshman year for good grades so you do not have to struggle to maintain them the rest of the way through.

make sure you know as much as you can about all of the schools you are interested in. try your hardest to find things at each that interest you and dont let any pre-determined assumptions about a school stop you from looking there.

I would tell my slef to work hard, get all of my work done, and take the college picking seriosuly.

I would say the most important thing is to start looking early. Picking the right college for you takes a lot of time and thought. You have to make sure it has a major you are interested in, campus life you want, and most importantly you want to be able to visit the college a few times to make sure you feel at home when you walk around. I started looking at schools early my junior year. Since I took so long looking at all the different aspects of the schools I was interested in I feel I made the correct choice. Even though the school I am attending I originally applied to as a safe school, after I walked around the campus a few times I felt right at home. I fell in love with thier concentrated curriculum, and the club sports they offered. I am very happy that I took my time, and I feel that I made the correct choice for me.

No parent should push their child to attend a college or university that they do not want to attend. Every child should pick the college of their choice, they know best what fits them. I am currently a commuter student after living on campus my freshman and sophmore year. I do think it is importnt to try living on campus in order to gain a sense of independence and repsonsibility. Living on campus did not work out for me because I am not into the party scene, and since the commute from my home to Nichols is only 30 minutes, I was always at home. In college you have to be open-minded. You must be able to accept and try new things, if you don't you are not going to enjoy the experience.

talk to a variety of current students enrolled, such as walking around on campus and being told by the school who to talk to. most of the time the people the school hire to talk to possible enrollment are swayed to say good things about the school. go to different people and get real opinions.

Finding the right college takes time. Put time aside to go to college fairs to check out your options and then travel to your schools of interest to get the feel for what the campus might offer. Apply to at least 3 or 4 schools, and make sure that you have a back up school just in case you don't get accepted to your first choice. Make the most of your college experience by making as many friends as possible, joining multiple clubs, doing your homework/projects immediately after you receive the assignment and turn them in on time, keep communication open with your professors, and put aside at least a little bit of free time in order to combat the stress and not completely lose your mind :)
