Southeastern University Top Questions

Go visit the campus before you make a desicion and get involved in as much as you can. The more your involved the more people you'll meet and the more fun you will have.

Allow your child to their own research. Make sure they do and stand behind them if they need help, but reember, it is them who are going to college and picking a degree. Do not force them to go to a certain college, but see what they want to accomplish with their life. Offer advice to them, sit and talk with a guidance counselor, but know that the quality that they get will come back to help you one day.

To everyone involved, do not give up when the process before and during college becomes discouraging. Maintain a good attitude through all of the trials. Working towards your dreams and goals is fundamentally important, and while it will not always be fun or easy, getting the highest education you are able is always best. Stay focused and try not to make bad decisions. At all times ask for wise advice and try to be teachable. Always balance your studies with your social agenda. Finally yet importantly, remember to have safe fun.

When it comes to finding the right college it is important that you look at schools that offer the degree at which you are interested in. Finding a school that has a good academic program and is genuinely interested in each students' success at the school and helping each student land a job post-graduation. The College experience is one of the most difficult, yet the most rewarding time of anyone's life. When going to college and taking general education classes, think back on the time your English teacher in high school made you do this really hard project and then thank him/her for preparing you for your college level classes. Aside from academics it is important to get involved in groups to get the full college experience. These groups will get you connected and help you form friendships that will last a life time. Enjoy life while you can, but while enjoying it, don't forget to work, because when college is over and you are thrust into the real world, remember that you will have to work and provide for yourself. College is one of the best ways to learn and succeed in that.

It is extremely difficult to deside which college/university is going to give you the fullest experience in the pursuit towards your degree. However, if you choose a college that was appealing in the beginning, but is no longer, that is fine. You must know that your first option is not your last. Take a tour of the campus, talk to the students to learn the true atmosphere of the campus, ask questions to teachers and/or staff members, etc. The four years of your college education is truly to set a foundation for the rest of your life. It does not mean it is concrete. Things will change, including your passions and motivations. This is perfectly acceptable. If you feel content at the school you are viewing, most likely it is for you. The most crucial fact you will learn though is this: you are paying thousands of dollars to attend a class. Do not waste that by sleeping in or having fun. Work is what will lead to success and fun, not the other way around. Lastly, it is ok to be fearful. It is a new experience. But in all honesty, it is worth every penny.

Tour the university/college campuses you are considering and go with what fits you best, not your parents or friends.
