Saint Leo University Top Questions

I would probably be more ivolved in extracurricular activities since I was more involved with my school work.

I would tell myself how important it is to focus in class and not worry so much about socializing until after homework was done. I would tell myself if I listen now that when I do get into college I will not have to worry about being so confused in college. Almost everything I learned in highschool was relevant to me in college. I would tell myself to keep focused on grades and what I could do to get my priorities straight and not procrastinate. That would help me to do better in college. I would also tell myself to research career choices now and really think about what I wanted to do so I wouldn't have played my first years in college.

I would tell myself that you just need to relax and that everything will be alright. No matter how stressed or our of place you feel at first. In the end you will be alright and make life long friends.

If I could go back as a high school senior I would tell myself how important an education is to get prior to starting a family. It is important for women to be able to stand on their own two feet. With my situation I have four children and my oldest has been diagnosed with autism. This has made it very hard for my family and we have incurred many extra costs through the years. I want to complete my college education for two main reasons. First, I would like to prove to myself that I can stand on my own two feet and support my children if something were to happen to my husband. Second, I want to show my kids that when I tell them how important and education is that even with my situation I will take the steps to get my bachelors.

When I was a high school senior, I was unsure of myself and the direction I wanted to head in academically. I came from a small catholic school, so the thought of a large university was a bit frightening. I chose to apply to small colleges that reminded me of my high school because I knew that I would be comfortable there. As of right now, I am a sophomore here and I will be transferring to a large, urban school in New England next fall. If I could go back in time, I would tell myself to let go of my inhibitions and plunge head first into the unknown because far more will be learned from that experience, than from a place within my comfort zone. I'm looking forward to the new challenge that awaits me, and while I am not regretful of my choice to attend Saint Leo, I am eager to move on to a new chapter in my life. After experiencing life on campus, I know that it was the right decision for me to start out here, but it is now the time for me to take the next big step toward my future.

Do not freak out, everything will be alright. Yes, you are going to be nervous, but things will work out!

If I could go back in time to my senior year of high school I would tell myself not to drop my college algebra class. I would also tell myself to listen to my parents and save my money because the Bright Future scholarship will not get me through college. Most importantly, I would tell myself to lighten up and enjoy the remainder of my senior year, and the transition into college, because I would miss it.

Oscar, a 2 year degree is a scholarly pursue. Why don't you spend your first 2 years at a community college like Valencia or Seminole community college, it will save you money? Dual enrollment is a great option while in school, but please do consider taking general requirement class that can be used for sure while continuing school at a 4 year university. Doing well in school is vital but networking and getting out to meet more professionals is extremely important. .

I would deeply advice future students and parents to visit the colleges they are deciding from often and talk to the students and staff on campus. I would also advice them to think hard about what is the most important to them (studys, social life, job) and find the college that allows them to best reach their goals. I would also remind the students in particular to pay attention to the classroom size and decide which would be best for them to get the best education possible, for me it was a small class size to ensure that I would get the attention and help when needed. I learn much better when I am around a smaller amount of students. The parents and students should remember that although college is one of the most important and exciting times in a students life, the most important part of college is to get an education which is to help ensure that they can accomplish the career goal that they set for themselves and I'd advice them not to forget that.

When a student is looking at colleges with there parents they have to feel the vibe of the campus. When you are committing to a school you have to make sure that you will fit in their and become the best person you can be. They say college is where you find yourself and if you are not comfortable at the school your are going to spend the next four years of your life and evolve into a new person. Once you have found the college that you believe is best for you and where you fell you will excel the most. Then get involved in the campus. Find something that interests you. If the club you wanna join is not on the campus, start one. Just because there isnt one on campus doesnt mean you are the only person interested in that particular thing. But the one thing to remember is that college is what you make it. It is all up to you.
