One thing I would tell myself is to never give up. College is nothing like high school, were you have to go everyday and you will get in trouble if you miss a day. You learn to grow up, be responsible and you need to keep focused on whats important. It is easy to loose track of what you need in life, but in the end going to college is what will make you that much more sucessful in life. It will get hard at time and you will want to give up and it may not seem worth it, but NO MATTER WHAT, you cannot give up. Toughen up, suck it up and just do it because in the end it will all pay off!!

I really have been ready for college life since I was in High School. I take things step by step to get where I am today. I have confidence in myself and my goals have well laid out. I've always been a scholar and dedicated. The hardest thing you do is make friends and try to meet people. Although, I consider myself a friendly and sociable person. The college life is one that I have been able to adapt without many problems. Although I had to devote more time to my studies.

I would tell myself time-managment is the most important thing to manage because you should know when its time for class, when to do your school work,and when its socialization time. and once you get that down pack your college year should go well. and dont let anything get in your way of school: MONEY,PEOPLE,or Anything that comes your way.

Choose a major wisely, don't play around in school. Learn what you need to know and then graduate. Don't become a professional student and when you have failed move on; don't dwell on the past.

College is an experience like no other. It is your time in life to make a statement about not only who you are but who you want to become. It is a once in a life time chance, so make every moment last. With that being said, it is important to remember why you are there. The college you chose after a careful elimination process is the one you will be with for the next four or maybe five years and graduate with a Chemical Engineering degree. You will encounter people and situations that you have never experienced before. The only advice I can give is to be smart, and think twice about every move you make. The parties and the boys will always be there but the deadline for that term paper is Monday! No one said that school would be easy but it will be fun. New doors will open up to you and you need to know which ones to close and which ones to embrace the journey that lies ahead. More than anything always put your best foot forward because it is a great feeling of accomplishment to see your hard work pay off.

I would say apply to any schools that a student would even remotely consider attending. Choose schools based on the student's major, how far he/she wants to be from home, and how much financial aid the student will/will not receive. It is easy to decide on a school but then have to attend another school, so remain open-minded and flexible because with the economy on a roller coaster, you never know what can and can't be possible.

When trying to locate the right and the a college that would give the best experince there are a few things that should be taken into consideration. One of them would be understanding the type of person you are. If your a person who likes to be all about your school and business, then the best college for you to look for would be one that has a very good academic atmosphere. With a college campus that really doesn't have too much activity on it but just enough to have some sort of social life. Another one would be to think about if your one how likes to try new things through out your life. If that's the case then you could look for a college that's in another state with different values then the ones that might already have. Basically the best way in doing is understanding who you are and finding a college that would fit the type of person you are.
