The University of Texas at San Antonio Top Questions

i would tell myself to open up a bit more to all kinds of people. everyone really does have the same questions as you do, but just be patient and let the answers come to you. Don't go out looking for things, all good things come to you eventually. trust me you will be fine and make friends. Do not get stressed out so much because if you go to class, pay attention, take a little extra time a day to study, you will do fine and do the best you can because your family and friends will be proud of you no matter what you decide to do.

Look, stop worrying about what other people think of you. Stop letting people think for you. Do what you want to do and choose a career you will love doing for the rest of your life. You have to step up and take care of yourself and learn to do things on your own before you go off to college because noone is going to walk you through it. Just believe in your abilities and you will do great.

I would give myself the advice to complete more scholarships, and work my entire high school carreer to save up money. I would tell myself not to live it up as a senior and volunteer and be in many organizations to help better my experience in different fields. I would throw the book at my old image and tell it to read, I never read enougth which has affected me greatly. The most important wisdom I would share with my old self is to study, and go above and beyond for academic excellence.

Be prepared to have no one telling you what to do and expect lots of homework and reading in every class, especially basic courses!

You think you know everything, because you are an adult now, well you don?t!! Here are a few things to help you be even more of a know it all. 1.You are paying for this, rather it's now or later. Don?t waste your money. 2.Don?t be afraid, if you haven't declared a major yet. Talk to people, get to know yourself and find a career that will make you happy not just rich. 3.Don?t fall for credit card offers; you have loans to pay ,why pay high interest credit card too. 4.College is your time to network for your future, not just for right now. Meet as many people as you can, you never know who will help you later in life. 5.Who cares if in high school student clubs were not cool? In college not only is it cool, but it is the easiest way to meet more students like you and once again you are building more Relationships for your future. 6.Most of all have fun but Work 1st before you play. Believe me, you will work faster knowing what the reward is at the end.

I would have advised myself to appy for scholarships. Being here at UTSA had made me realize that money is scarce and important while being a college student. I only receieved 5,000 worth of financial aid; which was not enough to pay off my tuition, plus housing and other necessities. I also would have advised myself to look for cheaper off campus housing. On campus housing at UTSA is very expensive and not worth the money. Lastly, I should have looked up different writing styles that colleges would use, such as APA. I was used to writing in MLA, so I assumed that college would just base their writing style on MLA. These are the three important advice I would have given myself as a high school senior.

As long as you feel at, you'll be fine.

My advice to parents and/or students would be to follow their heart in selecting a college to attend. If the finances aren't available for that particular school then to have a backup plan or put in all the effort required to pay for that dream school. Also I would advice the students to be active in their college experience, they control what benefits and experiences that they will receive while attending the school. I also include to not let the financial aid money go to waste, learn as much as they can and use all the available resources on the campus. Anything is possible if you just believe in yourself and your abilities.

I would advice parents and prospective students to get involved with their schools, whether it's through sororities and fraternities or clubs. Making friends at university can be challenging if you dont engage with your peers. I would also advice them to live on campus, this makes meeting people easy as well as getting around is facilitated so much!! Lastly, DO NOT GET A MEAL PLAN!! it's the fastest way to gaining the freshman 15.

What I would advise to other students is to make sure you know what you want to do with your life. If you don't know what you want to do, you might end up going to a college that has no classes that are related to your field of interest. As for making the most of college, I would recommend that you find a extracurricular activity that interests you so that you have something to do with others that you can all enjoy. So basically what I'm saying is to go to a college where you will be able to remain interested in and out of class, otherwise you will probably feel very bored and unmotivated to do anything and thus college won't seem as fun as it could be.
