North Greenville University Top Questions

to seek Gods council and follow where He leads. Pick the school that is best suited for you no matter the cost and know that it will be taken care of.

Visit every college you're interested in. Stay with someone on campus. and take a guided tour. Come back and take a tour with out a guide and ask several students for honest opinions. Look into the department and professors for which your major belongs to. Be open but firm in what you're looking for : )

When you walk on to a campus when visiting and feel like you are suppose to be there, that is when you chose to go to that school. Get to know everyone at your school, you will have more friends and openings to many unexpected opportunities will open.

I would advise students to know what they are looking for in a school before the actually start to visit schools. Any school sounds get when you are hearing the perspective that that the representatives what you to hear. Know how far from home is too far or too close. If possible, know what you want to major in. Also, know how comfortable you would be in large school versus a small school setting. Ask yourself if you want professors that will know your name or if you like the feel of a crowd. Finally, when you do visit a campus, talk to students who aren't official representatives. Ask them about the cafeteria food, about their professors and about dorm life. If possible find someone in the major that you are considering and ask them about the program. You may consider visiting without making an official visit through the admissions office, they will only show you the positives things instead talk to actual students.

Go to the college that fits your personal best and fits what you want to do in life, do not settle, choose the college that is right for you. Remember it is the student's college experience so they need to be the one that decides the school that is right for them. Do not give up hope, the school for you is just around the corner.

To find the right college, first figure out what type of learner you are and what type of atmosphere to you want to be in. Do you want a small school or big school? In the country or city? Private or public? Then you need to find one that has the classes and/or major that you want. Find a school that is strong in the field you want to study. Also, find a school that can offer financial aid where you need it. Then, visit, visit, visit. Visiting schools helps you get a feel for what it will be like and definitely makes your decision easier. After you have chosen your school, to make the most out of your college experience have fun. College is a great time to find lifelong friends and have a good time. But make sure to manage your time wisely and organize your time. Make sure you have the proper balance of school work and social time. College is an amazing experience and it can greatly prepare you for the future if you put effort into it.

Make sure you find out everything there is to know about the college that you are wanting to attend and what scholarships they offer.

I would tell them to examine all aspects of the college. Make sure you talk to students of all different majors, different classes, different professors, and the different jobs available. Make sure you know that the particular college your looking at is the absolute right one for you! There isn't any taking it back, so just be sure. Another thing you may want to do, is get all of your general education classes out of the way at a technical school, where it will cost less and you could save your money for the big 4 year school. It would also minimize the amount of loans you need to get in the long run! But also, don't forget to have fun in college!

Take the time to let the student explore choices in colleges or universities they want to attend. Let the student pick where he/she feels the most comfortable. Parents should be supportive of their young adults and willing to help with advice, however do not pressure them into making the choice that you want. Weight all the options from who has the best program, the best teachers, the best location, the best bang for the buck (scholarships, loans, etc). Remember that this is where your student will spend most of his/her life during the year, you only get four months at home, the other eight is spent with friends and teachers, this helps develope their social life and to experience new things. Make them stay on campus for at least a semester to a year to allow them the feeling of what it's like to be half way on their own. Let them know that you are always a phone call away.

In order to choose the right college, visit the top 5 choices at least. Make sure that you feel at home before signing any agreements. If a college doesn't satisfy you physically (i.e. it's layout, the people, or the food) you may not be able to do as well as you intend academically. Have fun, but remember to keep grades first. To minimize stress it's great to hangout with friends, but don't allow conjugating to become a ritual. The right college has to be fitting to the student's personality. There is not one truly right college for all students. For example, diversity may be a big deal to me, but you may like being surrounded by your own specific culture. It may be a great idea to just have "pop-up" visits with the school so that you can see how things really run around the campus, because it's always easy to "dress-up" when expecting company. (Meaning when the college has designated visiting days. )
