Oral Roberts University Top Questions

Don't be overawed by the show put on during visits or during the first few weeks. Allow yourself to choose your school by evaluating several factors: does it have a good program for what I want to do? Do I want to be in an area like this (urban, residential, rural)? When exploring the campus, do I feel like I could belong here? All these are important. Less important are: do I have friends here; is it far away; could I be uncomfortable adjusting? ...These sort themselves out if you commit to going to a school based on the other criteria. Give yourself time to adjust. Know yourself: if you're introverted, allow yourself periods of time where you can be by yourself and learn to be comfortable in your new environment; but DON'T hole yourself away. If you're extroverted, challenge yourself to spend time alone--little bits. College is about becoming comfortable with your own brand of weirdness and therefore understanding how to deal with yourself and then with others. Don't be surprised to be surrounded by people of varying levels of emotional and social development--learn what you can, and have fun doing it!

Go experience a school. Sit in on classes, eat in the cafeteria, talk to students, and most of all talk to the professors. Walk down the hall outside their offices and introduce yourself to a prof and ask them questions.

Bleh.

I would tell the parents and the student who would be attending the college to make sure they go there to be happy, not just because someone wants you to go there. College should be the funnest part of your life but a thte same time the hardest. So i believe youn should pick out a college where you are going to get a great education but still have time to make new friends and experience new things in life. Also i think if you are a shy person like i am you should get involved in small groups at the college to meet new people or room with someone you dont know.

There is a perfect college for every student, but perfection is not always set in front of us. This is why it takes serious hunting to find the right college and make the most out of every opportunity. Take a look around, use the internet's wonderful capabilities to gather your choice colleges. Then, go on campus tours, sit in some class lectures, and ask lots of questions. The final decision is up to the student, but just because one attends their perfect discovery, does not mean they are making the most out of their college experience. Students need to engage in learning and stay on top of their studies. Although college is a place to become educated, it is also a place to build relationships and grow as an individual. Students can do this by getting involved with extra-curricular activities. This way, friends and connections with others are made for life. College should be a great time in every student's life. It should not be wasted, but used as a stepping stool to get to the next point of one's life.

blah.

Always loook at all of your options. There are so many wonderful scools to attend, but you need to find one that wil help you grow as a person. Don't let anythin discourage you from the school you really would like to attend. Everything will work out! Good luck, and don't let anyone tell you who you are.

Check all your options

I would say that prayer and confirmation are very important to chosing a college in my opinion. Money should not be the reason that you decide to not go or go to a school. Go to where you want to go and do what you want to do. That is the most important thing. You only have one chance for a college experience so go to where you think you will be academically challenged and also be able to have social clean fun.

Filling out the financial aid application is very, very, VERY important. It may be repeated a never ending amount of times, but it truly cannot be emphised enough. Although it may not be admitted very often, money is the base of a good college education, and this small, but not at all insignificant document could make or break someone's college career, and in the long run, their job and life.
