I would tell myself to get in more vollunteer programs. I would say look into different careers instead of just one, and not have a back up plan if one doesn't like the program of study as oringinally intended. Most of all though, I would say just enjoy what I have left of high school because I can never get those years back, and I'm starting a new chapter in life.

When looking at colleges look for a school that works for you and one that will give you all the help you need. Also if you are not a partier don't go to a party school choose a low key school. Scholorships are the most important thing. Even if your parents can afford to pay for your education because if something happens financially then u have a back up plan. loans are important to but also having someone who has a great credit score and who is okay with co-signing for your because without it you have no money to pay for college. Studying and having fun is a balance because with me having loans I don't want to mess my grades up with to much partying so it reminds me that I am going to have to pay the money back one way or another so getting good grades are important.

This is the advice I would give to students: Start researching different colleges and request as much information as you can; also make a list of different things that you like to help you select your major. When you finally choose the college of your choice and attend your first day of classes, I strongly suggest that you take advantage of free tutoring if you need assistance, join a club or sports team if you want and if you want to find a on or off campus job, talk to a career placement advisor so they can help you build a winning resume and give you job leads. One final tip, college is not like high school there are very few professors who will chase you down to do work and it is your responsibility to know what to read and what assignments are due- it is stated on the syllabus. Your suceess in college depends on your effort!

Always dig deep and talk to more students than the ones the school introduce you to, they're the ones they hand pick to say good things.

To any student looking for a college make sure it is the right school for you. Finding the right accommodations to fit your needs is the best thing to help succeed in a college education. Myself I need as much help as I could get during my college education so small classes where the teacher was able to accommodate my needs was helpful to me.

The advice I would give is to maske sure that it's the right college you want to go to and to make sure that the college succeeds at giving you the best academic year.

I would tell parents and/or prospective students to first have an idea of what career the student has in mind. If finances are a problem, they should consider a school like Robert Morris College in terms of time and financial aid assistance. Also parents and students should get as much information as possible on all the financial aid programs available and the different educational paths as well. My final advice would be to say "don't give up hope and never say never".

Finding the right college may be a difficult thing to do your senior year of high school, but if you take your time and find a college that has everything you need, it will be a fun experience. It is always a good idea to leave home to achieve the greatest college experience. Not saying that staying at home won't give you a good experience, but living on your own and meeting new people will be your must fun you ever had. Not only do you earn a degree in a field you like, you will also learn a lot more in life in your college years than you will learn the rest of your life. College is a great experience and I do not regret a second of it.
