College is different from high school in various way. In college, you actually get to choose the times you attend class (provided the time is convenient and available) and what classes you wish to take for a certain semester. When creating a schedule of classes, I would suggest aiming for earlier times. Most institutions - such as the one I am currently attending - even offer morning classes at around eleven o'clock. This way, you will have plenty of time to do school work, regular work, sleep, and have a social life. I would also not recommend taking more than six classes a semester, because then you will constantly find yourself very busy. Manage your time well, and do not be afraid to ask any faculty and/or staff for help because that is what they are there for, and they would be very happy to assist you. Get your work done on time, do not be late for class, and do not skip class. Doing the opposite of any of those three will send a bad message to your professors, trust me on this. Other than that, make friends and enjoy yourself. Work hard and prosper.

If I could go back and talk to myself as a college senior I would tell myself to study harder for my AP exams so I could have passed them and gotten out of some of my basic science classes. I would also tell myself to apply to more schools in different states.

when beginning the college selection process, it can b quite overwhelming. I would urge all parents to work as hard as possible to allow the student to make the choice. I know many people who are unhappy here because they did what their parent wanted. to the studnets, I would say be strong and voice your opinions clearly to your parents. College is where you will spend what promises to be the best years of your life. Make it yours. Once in school, it is important to become involved with activities and/or clubs. this will help find a place here at college and help break the bond of high school.

Remeber to keep academics foucase as this is your future. do not be afraid to ask for help when needed. This cost me a D because I refused to ask for help I needed. I never had received below a B prior to this. Good luck and make it yours!

You have to know what you are looking for. Some people think big school are better, but too many people means its less personal. Small class sized utilize the best of your abilities. Dont be afraid to as questions and go to orientations/tours. Always know what you are getting yourself into and even if you dont have any friends going there, you will make tons on the first day that will last you a lifetime. Also, money does matter, dont think that you can pay off thousands of dollars in school loans easily, just to go to a popular expensive school. Well known schools dont always mean they are better, or that you will be well known in the workforce after college. Look for a school that provides jobs and experiences during and after college.

Finding the right college is unquestionably a challenging task. When choosing the right college, there are several factors you should consider. 1. Size. Do you want to attend a small or large school? 2. Location. Do you want to attend school in an urban or suburban area? Do you crave grassy campuses or a city that never sleeps? 3. Distance from Home. When you decide on how far you want to be from home, consider how often you want to visit. The farther away, the less often you can visit. 4. Activities and special programs. Everyone has different interests. Find a school that has a program to suit your interest. 5. Majors. It is important to go to a college where they will prepare you for your chosen profession. If you are not sure, you should attend a college that will offers many options. 6. Trust your Gut Feeling. Personally visit the school and walk around the campus. If a place feels right, you?ll feel right at home. If it feels wrong, don?t go there. Trust your instincts. After you get into the right college, you'll just have to make it out alive. Good luck!
