South University, Savannah Top Questions

If I could go back to high school and talk to myself about college I would say "Dont wait on your education". Decide now what you want to do for a career. Make sure its something you will always enjoy doing. Make sure to collect as many credits as possible on your journey. School will never be just a breeze but life would be with the right education. Dont give up no matter how tuff it seems or how bad your day has gone. Just think about what you will have in the end. Dont worry about financial obligations for school. There's a saying " If there is a will, There is a way". Its true. There's another saying " You can be and do anything you want, the sky is the limit". Start looking for that college now. Search around everywhere find the one for you. Make a list of questions to ask when you are searching. Make sure the college has to offer everything you need for your career education. Remember there is always some there to help you. Good luck and Stay in school.

As an high scool student its best interst to go straight to college after graduation. i would recommend as a junior in high school to start search for colleges and scholarships available. VOLUNTEER work is a plus when applying for some grants. During the process of chosing a college consider driving distance, tution cost , requirement to complete degree . ALSO if college does intership even the college credition ,and the stable career choice. In some case the clubs and tutoring avialiable during and after school.

I would advised myself to go to a community college first because I could have saved money on tuition and by living at home while getting my general education classes. Since I am not involved in campus life and community colleges are not generally large competitors in school sports, a community college may have prevented me feeling somewhat out of place in my school prior to South University. I would also tell myself to find time for a social life outside of school, work, and my family. I would stress the value of being balanced and not stressing on one section of life because in a few years I would regret the experiences I did not let myself have in other sections of my life.

I will definitely attend college after high school because your mind is still fresh. I will be very focused and clear from any distractions. Attending college and finishing after high school is a big advantage. Your grades could be better and you will understand the work better.

If I were able to go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior I would tell myself a few things about college life and making the transition. College life is not as scarey and hectic as every one makes it sound. You will meet great people and friends but you can't let it get in the way of your studies because a good college ethic will help to establish a good attitude towards your career. Give it your all but also don't alienate everyone around you at the same time. Being independant is an important skill to aquire before making the transition to college. College takes some time to get used to but I know that you will do awesome if you allow yourself to relax a little and not stress the little things. The important thing is to enjoy yourself and above all else learn!

The question would seem to be directed to a young person who is beginning their college career, whereas I on the other hand am 48 and return to school after a long absence (I took my GED in 1977). My advice to myself would have been to stay in school and to stop using drugs. Too many young lives are derailed by bad choices in this area. I made many foolish choices in the three decades that began in 1970 ? and it has been a hard road working up and out of the wreckage of my past - I have learned the hard way that some choices are irrevocable. I remain content though because I know that while there may be no way to make real amends I can make the good choice in this present moment and let God handle the rest. This is my time now and I will make good use of it. Thank you. Gil Serrano

Don't play as much, go to class, read and study, get help if necessary. While participation in social activities is necessary, going to class is more important. More discipline, more attention to detail and more caring about my future. I should have looked at the benefits of a college education at 18 rather than the socialization and I probably wouldn't be going to school at 58! Kids need to understand that in this day and age, a college education will go further to attain the dream job, than a just a high school education.

The advice I would give my self is to strive for success. You can do anything you set your mind too, as long as you believe in yourself to accomplish this. Having a college education can open so many more doors for youself. It may be another few years before you are completely finished, but it will all be worth it in the end! Just remember to do your best, and work hard at anything you want to accomplish. Yes, you can always go to college; no matter how old you are. However, this is your greatest opportunity right here.

Pay more attention to my councelor advice. And that I would not take things for granted and make sure that I set aside time for studying and pay more or better attention to my teachers.I would make sure that I would get the proper rest at night so that I would be ready for the next day.

Go to college early in life
