Southern University and A & M College Top Questions

The best advice I would give to any student and their parents would be to research every option and learn every detail about a school before making a final decision. When independent research is done it can make all the difference in choosing the correct college to attend. I would also recommend taking an independent tour of the campus without tour guides and speaking with current students. We as students are usualy blunt when describing our universities to others because we understand and see what is not spoken about by recruiters. As for making the most of the college experience, I learned a valuable lesson just by keeping family close. At first I wanted to make all my decisions for school on my own, however I learned quickly that parents should be just as involved in college as high school, even though the freedom is nice my family always keeps me grounded during the semesters and thats a necessity for every student. =)

Being the best that you can be no matter what college you attend, rather its a little small town college in which you can afford or a well known college that is expensive and well credited. No matter what college you attend i feel that you can make the best of it because some education is better than none. One of the best things about college is meeting different people and socializing with those who are from differents places around the world! This is the advice that i would give to parents and students about finding the right college and making the most of the college experience.

It's impotant to find a school that can tend to your educatioonal and personal needs. Don't be afraid of change, leaving home can be a good thing!

The advice I would give them is make sure the school fits you. Make sure your comfortable about its surrounding, because if your not comfortable you won't be able to concentrate like you need to.

Take your time and decide what is the best colledge that will fit your personality and learning style.

My advice is to take your time and actually look into the college of your choice to make sure it's actually for you. Don't base your opinion on a college just because your friends are going there or whether your parents are alumni there. Make your choice strictly off the bases of your contentment with that college. The only person you need to please is yourself and it's your future at hand. You will be happier with your decion in the long run.

The most important thing for parents to understand when finding the right college for their child is to be aware of the fact that its not a college for the PARENTS its for the STUDENTS. Allow the students or your kids to find out their likes, dislikes, ambitions, and ULTIMATE goal for pre and post graduation status. Even sometimes their hobbies/passions can determine what college is right for them. For example, I was excellent in accounting classes in high school, but I had been drawing and painting for years at a very experienced level. I initially wanted to be a CPA, but quickly realized that ART was my passion and something I enjoyed. Its much more pleasant having a major that you ENJOY and are INTERESTED in than one where you are basically rolling with the tides. Students, its so important to set goals for yourself, find the steps to reach them, and go for it! No matter what your peers, professors, or anyone else says, if you do those things, you will be successful. Have a "go get em" attitude for your college experience and you will most certainly make the most out of it!

My advice to students searching for the right college is a safe enviroment. Make sure you have alot of policeman and make sure the location you have choosen has a non violent surrounding. If the surrounding neighborhoods are dangerous than the student's life is at greater risk. Also make sure the college the student is attending has enough professors for the courses. If the campus doesnt have enough professors than the course the student might want will be cancelled and paralyze speed towards graduation. The most important thing the student wants is satisfaction. Make sure that the student is completely happy with mostly everything about the university or he/she will be miserable. The student must have an open mind about culture, religion, friends, and etc. Most important thing is to stay true to the person he/she is and do be to easily influenced by the wrong crowd.
