Quinnipiac University Top Questions

Don't go here, most people transfer, I'm going to.

I would recommend to parents to send thier kids here if they want them to get a good education because that is guarenteed here. I also want parents to realize that it will be probable that their child will drinking within their first semster of school. I would also tell parents to send only individuals who have a strong sense of self and wont succumb to the pressures of being in college. This a very beautiful campus and many of the high school students need to realize that if you dont do your work and you fail your classes, their is someone who is watching you. Your advisor lets you know if you are going to able to continue going to Quinnipiac or if it is time for you to consider something else. College is not for everyone and if your child doesnt want to attend it then they should not be forced to . Although them to choose what they want to do with their life because you wouldnt want your hard earned money to waste only to have your child working in a fast food place after they graduate.

Parents and students looking for the right college need to consider several important aspects of the school. It is important to find a school that offers a major related to the field you wish you to pursue. That ensures you will be suited for your future career, but it also makes sure that other students at the school will share your same interests and hobbies. The location is another important part of school because even though all high school seniors think they need to get as far away from home as possible, that is not always true. Sometimes a school 20 miles from home can seem like a world away. Make a rational decision and remember that you might need your parents every now and again. When choosing a college, think about the class size that fits you best. If you are easily distracted or tend to need more individualized instruction, go for a smaller school where you will not be stuck in lecture halls all the time. On the other hand, if you are extremely social and find it easy to learn on your own, a bigger school might be for you. Go with your instincts.

Definitley visit the school that is being considered while school is in session. This way you can see what type of people attend the school. Try and get a look at a class, its size and the relationship the professor has with the students, as well as what the students have to say about their professors.

make sure your kid sees everything! visit small schools, big schools, urban schools,etc..and find out what the student likes and dislikes as you go.

My advice to the students is to make every decision for themselves. Do not let anyone elses life or plans interfere with your own. Choose the school based on who you are and who you want to be. College will help build your future, if you choose a promising path it will lead you to a successful life. The best decision I have ever made was going abroad last semester. It was my dream to live in Australia and my Nursing career path did not stop me, despite many opstacles. Follow your dreams and dont let anything get in the way because it is your life to live. "All you touch and all you see is all your life will ever be." Make the most out of what life has to offer and life will be whatever you want it to be.

You have to take in account the social and academic aspects equally. To enjoy and engage yourself academically, you must have a good and comfortable social life. You need to have the feeling of fitting in and being part of the school to get the best out of the academic aspects of college, which determines your future.

Find a school that is within your budget range, so if you do by chance find a school you like that is too expensive, you will not have to get your hopes up about it. You have to picture yourself living on campus, walking to classes, and living your day to day life there when you go visit the school. If you feel uncomfortable, or just get a feeling the school is not for you, put it towards the bottom of your list of schools. Do not go to a school based on reputation alone. The school may have a very good academic or athletic reputation for example., but if you feel that you will be stressed taking classes there or get caught up in school spirit, maybe put that school toward the bottom of your list. Make sure you stay open minded, college is the best years of your young adult life.

Before you decide to attend a certain college, make sure you visit at least once, and make sure you ask alot of questions about how things run on campus.

Go with the school that you feel "fits" you. If you are uncomfortable with the campus, students, or teachers you won't excell. The only thing that matter when choosing a college is if it is the one that is right for you.
