Southern University and A & M College Top Questions

I would tell myself to look at more schools and think about going to other schools instead of just settling for Southern alone. Think about schools with a diversity of people and an environment where you will feel comfortable in.

I think I made the transition very well. I knew coming in I had to stay focus and work hard and thats exactly what I have been doing. One think I would tell myself is to trust no one. You are your only friend in this world. In order to succeed you need gracy and mercy from God and prayers.

Jonathan, there are aloth of things to look foward to when going to college. the freedom you will have will be like somthing you'v never had before. But you need to learn how to settle down and study. College is not all about parties but remember, always have a little fun. College is going to be like nothing you have every expected. But remember your there for a reason, and that is to get an education and aslong as you remember that, you'll be fine.

If I could go back in time to talk to myself during my high school years I would tell myself that college is'nt as hard as people say it is and I would tell myself to learn everything now while in high school because you will need it in the future. I would also tell myself to be aware of the whole financial aid process.

Ebony, I'm so proud of you! I know you're excited about starting college in the fall but before you start I'd like to give you a little advice. In college you are going to have so much time on your hands, and what you do with that time is totally up to you. You won't have momma to wake you up and ensure that you make it to school anymore. You will have so much freedom and responsibility. With that being said, make wise choices and understand that you are responsible for yourself and your recieving of an education. You will have the choice of studying or going out to parties, doing homework or going to the mall, and so many other decisions. Although you are now in charge of your life, you're not alone. If you need help, don't be afraid to ask. There are counselors, professors, tutorers and uperclassmen who may help. Don't ever give up for your education is extremely important. Friends come and go but the degree you are striving to earn can never be taken away! Goodluck on your voyage for this is the begining of your future!

Choosing the right college to attend is probably one of the most important decisions you have to make. Its a decision that, while you are in high school, may not understand the magnitude of its importance. When choosing the right college for you definitely research. Understand what field you want to get into and how well that college or university will teach it to you. Also, its very important to research the enviroment of that school. It's hard to understand how the enviroment has an effect on your learning experience. The way people act, and how seriously other students take the education there effects your mood and feelings. To clarify, as a new student you are probably 17 or 18. Your mind is still molding, as well as your personality. Everything effects you. Lastly, you want to make sure that this is the place you want to get your education at. Depending on your major you will be there for 4 to 6 years. You don't want to be there and find out you don't like it later.

In my opinion, the most important factor in choosing the right college would be feeling comfortable among other students and surrounding community. If you're not comfortable with your surroundings, it can lead to depression and other anxieties that can destroy your academic career and chances of securing a good job upon graduation. The next important factor would be the reputation and networking strength of your desired undergraduate program. A strong network with your professors and industries can lead to better jobs in case you are not the strongest student. Once a student chooses his college, he or she should become involved in extracirricular activities in order to balance social and academic life. Part of the college experience is to meet lifelong friends. Fraternities/sororities and intramural sports are a good way to meet a variety of people who may share the same interests. Explore the city around your campus and find off-campus activities to indulge in. Getting away from the campus can be a stress reliever from time to time. With a balanced life, a student's college years may be the best years of his or her life.
