Northeastern University Top Questions

If possible when visiting your school of choice visit a class or two that will be critical to you or your child's education. Chat briefly with a councelor or talk to a student who might be passing through the counseling office.

For me it was very difficult because I was not accepted to my "dream" school.I was heart broken by the fact that I worked so hard and I didn't fit their mold. But that's not the end of the world, and once a student finds a school that really makes them happy, their whole life will change for the better. They will feel at home there and will easily make friends and have fun. I battled depression for a long time because I believed I wasn't good enough, but I realized that a school that couldn't see my potential wasn't good enough for me. Now that I am here at Northeastern I am finally happy with my life and where it is going. So never give up! My advice: there's always a school out there for you. And once you get to that school there are so many things you can do. Join a club or join a team sport or just make friends with your roommates and classmates. You can study abroad or intern, the possibilities are endless in college as long as you put forth the effort.

I would tell parents or students to speak to current students who go to the school you are interested. You would get a better feel of the school and environment. Also, taking a tour of the campus would be very helpful. Things like on campus housing, facilities, and the surrounding environment of the school can affect your decision. The oppurtunity for a student to go on an internship and extend thier knowledge in their major would be something to consider when deciding on a school. It would also be helpful to look into what kinds of finanicial aid the school of interest provides for a student. I think in order for a student to get that full college exprerience he or she should join groups and be invloved in the activities.

It is the students decision, whatever choice they make, they are the wones who will spend the next four years of their lives there. Students: don't let your parents push you towards a school that you are not 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} sold on, even though they are funding it, if you're not happy you will not enjoy college like you should. The most importand part of college is that you learn whatever it is you wen there to learn. The second is to have fun, these are the best years of your lives!

Do not settle for what seems the easiest to get into, there is most definitely a school out there for everyone it might just take some longer than others to figure out where it is that they belong. College has been the best experience of my life and I wouldn't trade for anything - not only have I learned so much, but also the experiences I have been through socially, academically and personally have changed me for the better.

Take your time looking at schools. Find one that best fits your personality and interests and don't base your decision on where your friends or boyfriend or girlfriend is going. Don't let your parents talk you out of a school you really like. Ask questions on school tours and not just about classes but about social life as well. Get involved in university life but don't over do it. Relax, you will probably make at least one friend in ever class you have and remember what you are there for, make the most of your classes and the extra help offered to you.

To find the right college I suggest you definately visit multiple schools. While visiting go on a tour and an information session or interview if possible. There are many factors that go into chosing the right school. Do they have your major, tuition costs, location and size. But when you walk on to the right campus you just know it's the onw. You can picture yourself being at that school and feel at home. As a freshman try to get involved in different activities to meet new people whether it be in a club, sport, or greek life. The most important thing is to have fun at college while balancing out your school work. College years are the best years of some people's life. You grow and learn a lot during those four short years, so you want to make the most of them!!

I believe that choosing the right college is a decision that should be left to the student. The college experience is a coming-of-age experience and the setting and location can significantly influence your story. College is a place where you can really find yourself outside of the constraints of high school and living on your own. The incredible amount of opportunities and choices available to you can be both exciting and intimidating. Relax. You don't have to have it all figured out. Take your time. Find the college that makes you feel comfortable. Explore your options until you find your niche, your group, your cause, your career path, whatever it is that really defines you. Once you're there, get involved! Step out of your comfort zone and do something different. Take advantage of all that college life has to offer, but remember to stay focused on the reason that you're there. You have four years to learn and prepare yourself for the real world and you will learn both inside and outside the classroom so be open-minded to new opportunities, new ideas, and new experiences. The steps to success are there for the taking.

Size of the school is very important. Also areas of interest. Find a school that closely matches the interests. Make alot of friends and do not burn any bridges by disrespecting faculty or professors. You will need a recommendation from the end in the end most likely. Make friends in every class so in case you ened help you do not have to study alone. Do not date! Or if you are in a rocky-bad relationship get out of it ASAP. GPA will suffer severely if it starts affecting you. Constantly keep an eye out for scholarship opportunities. Mind the crowds that you hang with because not everyone may be as determined as you. Live on campus. Commuting takes away the college experience greatly.

Finding the right college for your son or daughter can prove quite difficult. When starting on your search, it is important to first identify what strongest interest of your child. They need to find a program that will allow them to excel in an area of study that they will enjoy. If they don?t know what they want to study in college, look at universities that offer a wide range of academic programs so they can explore their interests and make a decision that is best for them. It is also very important to identify whether your son or daughter would best learn and grow on a large university or a smaller university, or, in highly populated classes or smaller classes. The living environment has a great impact on the learning ability and overall happiness of students. Spending a weekend at an urban campus and then a rural campus can give insight to the different lifestyles that students lead. Finding the school that matches your student on multiple levels will ultimately result in a higher quality of learning, growth and happiness.
