Oakwood University Top Questions

College is not easy, but it is definitely not impossible. When you start college, don't expect everything to go perfect. Give yourself time to settle down and become comfortable with your surroundings. It is very important to understand that one of the biggest differences between college and high school is the work load. In high school, you may have done one chapter every two weeks. However, in college, you do one chapter every class session. The good news is that you don't have every class every day. This means that you must be very careful with how you manage your time. You should still make time to study for your classes even if you don't have it for a couple of days. Time management is what makes one of the differences between an outstanding student and an average student. As an outstanding student, make sure you manage your time well. It is important to prioritize what you need to do and it is also very important to take the time to relax. While, you may feel as if you have to study every single moment, understand that your body also needs to rest. Persevere until the end!

KaSandra, apply to Oakwood University and apply for surpluses of scholarships, because the financial aid will benefit you in more ways than you can imagine. Apply early and do not wait, because it might be to late.

My advice is to talk with each about your decision and visit your options.

Make sue that yhou are comfortable with the type of environment that u will be around ,and make sure you go somewhere thats has the best program for you...nver let the cost of school dicourage you as long as you strive hard you be going down the right path.

My advice to parents and/or students out there looking for the right college would be first applying to schools you might be interested in, visiting the campus, having constant contact with an admissions and financial aid advisor (make sure the schools have scholarships), and making sure that the school is near business, stores, etc and not in the middle of nowhere. Students who are thinking of going to college, my advice.....make the most of it. College experience is nothing you will ever have again in your lifetime. College will be the best time of your life....

My advice to prospective students and parents of prospective students would be to apply to as many colleges as possible, even the ones that seem too hard to get into and also the ones that would definatelly not be your first choice. Also visit campuses and take note as to weather or not you are comfortable with the size of the school and the teacher to student ratio. If you recognize the fact that you need more attention from the teacher then go for the smaller sized schools. Also, observe the surrounding areas and make sure that these areas won't distract you from school. Also when looking at school, make sure that the school has good resources for students who need extra help with things as tourting and such. Another good thing to look at is the alumni, observe the outcome of the students that have gone to the school and see how most of them come out. To enhance your learning experience at school, make sure you stay focouse, but at the same time don't overload yourself. The key to a good college career is findin a balance between working time and playtime. Above all, set goals.

The advice I would give for parent and students in finding the right college is to make sure they visit the college they want to attend, while school is in session. Attend then college courses that they will ultimately take, talk to the professors and current students. When you start attending college you should become very involved with the groups on campus, meet a lot of new friends and professors.

College is where who you think and say you are is put to the test. No matter where you go there will be something or someone you do not but it is the students decision to make the best of it. Do not search for the perfect school but rather for a school you can fall in love and therefore be dedicated to its betterment. Be kind to everyone because you never know who you need in the future and go into the classroom to become the best in your field, not just to get a grade. But most of all enjoy college, it is the greatest investment you can ever make and can potentially be the greatest time of your life.

Your choice of school should be one that is well know for the major of your interest; If not known should have the stats to show its eligibility. It should be a place where your experience will also be unforgettable and worth your tuition.

I believe that the school that you attend should be at its best in your major. Also there should be diversity so that you are well rounded and cultured. The experience should be unforgettable and worth your tuition. P.s. i accidently put that in Spring 2009 I would have been in school for two years when in fact it should be One year. Thank You.
