Southeastern University Top Questions

Going into college is fun, so don't be nervous! Make sure you are open to trying new things on a whim and don't worry about what other people think! Be as friendly as you can, because the people you will meet in college are way better than the people you will meet in high school. Make sure you take advantage of your professors and really pick their brains, you're paying a lot of money to go there! Also, before you graduate, make sure you google different scholarships, because I really regret not doing that. College is one of the best experiences of my life, make the most of it!

Dear High School Senior, All of the dreams and ideas of college, leaving your family and friends behind, and embracing your individuality are about to become a reality. If I were in your shoes again, I would have changed many things. First, I would have considered my GPA. Is my GPA high enough to be recognized on the deans list at my future University? Next, I would consider my SAT and ACT scores. Did I study hard enough to recieve a high score? Are the scores high enough to be recognized by my University? Did I take the test more than once to recieve a higher score? Another to consider, did I involve myself in clubs, organizations and activities to be recognized by my University and Scholarship comittee? Did I search to the best of my ability for Scholarships online and through local organizations to relieve myself from college debt? The last and most important thing: Did I consider all of my options of majors and college choices before making a final decision and ask professionals about careers? Answer "yes" to all of these questions and you will be most successful in college. Good Luck. Thank you, Erika L. Winter

If I could go back in time and give myself advice about college and the transition, I would tell myself to start out with the easiest classes possible. With those easy classes, use the extra time to get involved in as many campus activities as you can. Through those you will meet a lot of people and also gain a lot of experience in a few different areas. Some of those activities you may even want to use on your resume and they could help you get a good job in the future.

Lindsey, Make the most of your planner, it will become your best friend. When you get to college make sure you mkae the most of each day and do not get too caught up in your homework, you will finish it before it is due.

Remember to call your family and even drive to visit them, they will be a part of your life forever, beyond the four years of college.

Most of all have fun, this is a crucial time in your life and you only get to be in college once!

One of the main things I have enjoyed are the relationships I have made and the impact I have had on people, and they on me. An experience that was especially significant to me was when I was a Resident Assistant. I loved being a "go to" person on campus. Even when woken up at 4am because students locked themselves out of their room, I was thrilled to be able to help. It was valuable because it taught me responsibility. I enjoyed meeting such a variety of people. I love to sit and listen to peoples' views on life, morals, eternity, or anything else they have an opinion on.

I have gotten Independence and an Identity out of my college experience. I have been able to find the major that fit best with me , which is social work. Going to a Christian University has allowed my growth spiritually and academically. I have made friends for life with the five girls that I currently live with. There is an abundance of experiences that I will walk away with but a few of them that are memorable are working on Student Government for two years and working alongside students to make change happen. I also have been required to be in an internship that is required for the social work major. In this internship i have gotten real life experience working with adoptions. This school has been so valuable to attend because all of these experiences are priceless and could have never been bought with a price.
