Southern New Hampshire University Top Questions

Visit the school, and talk to people who are already students, get the truth not just what the tour guides tell you.

Some things you need to think about when looking at what college you want to go to is how big of a college you want to attend, also whether you want to be in the city or more in the country. How far away do you really want to be away from you parents, but rememeber when you don't get to see your parents everyday you miss they a whole lot more, so keep that in mind. When you find the right school make sure you try to get involved in EVRYTHING, thats the best way to make friends! Another thing to keep in mind is not to do everything your friends do or don't do. Do what you want to do even if none of your friends would ever do it or you will regret it in the long run!

Go out there, don't be scared, pick somewhere close to home with friendly people!

Visit the schools all of them

Just choose the school that you would like to attend the most not based upon the price. You want to make the right choice and have a good four years and an overall good college experience.

Visit the schools that you are looking at and choose the one that feelis like home to you. Don't go for the name or because your friends are going there. You get a gut feeling walking around on your tour and you just know.

I would make sure to visit, sit in on classes in the field you think you want to complete, talk to professors and students around campus, eat lunch in the cafe and spend time walking around on your own, you want to make sure the campus feels safe and "right"(youll just know), see what current students think and how friendly they are, and lastly to make sure the program is organized and well put together, make sure you get what you will be paying for.

I would tell students and parents that they should go to a school that made them feel comfortable, had a good program for the intended major and close to home.

College is one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had so far. The advice that I would give to parents and students about finding the right college is to visit as many schools as they possibly can. They should visit the schools they are interested in while they are in session so they will be able to get a feel of the atmosphere there. This will allow them to narrow down their decisions and options. Also ask questions about your schools, no matter what the question is because the more knowledgeable about your school you are the better choice you will make. To make most of the college experience, the advice I would give would be to get involved and try to meet as many people as possible, whether it is through a campus job, club, or just people in your dorm, the more connections you make early on the better. Also take advantage of opportunities offered to you during your college experience. These opportunities may include study abroad, internships, and volunteer activities and so on. The more involved you are in your school the happier you will be.

The advice I would give to parents and mostly students about finding the right college is to pick one that you feel the most comfortable at. When you walk on to the campus for the first time you need to be able to see your self there and if you don't then it might not be right for you. Also, sit in a classroom and see if the size and the way the professor teaches is what you want. You also want to tour the campus while school is in session so you can get a feel for how big the school is. The advice I would give to making the most out of your college experience is homework and studying comes first. When you first enter college you are going to want to hang out with your friends all the time and you'll forget about homework. That's what happened to me. Last year I always put my homework to the last minute and chose to be with my friends all the time. I came very close to failing out so this year I have learned not to leave my room until all homework is done.
