University of Dallas Top Questions

Anyone looking at a college should really talk with current students and learn about what kind of background they come from. See if the students have similar backgrounds or thoughts and whether they're happy at the school.

Students and parents should consider a school that truly addresses the needs of the "total student." Because education is ultimately the pursuit of the total development of the student, parents should strongly consider schools which are the most accepting of different belief systems and religions. Because a person's cultural and religious beliefs ultimately affect his or her opinions, one might argue that the school at which a person feels most comfortable with exercising his or her cultural or religious beliefs is most suitable for a college environment. Therefore, students and parents should strongly consider schools which will provide the most support for an individual student's education, which is ultimately the search for truth.

Finding the right college or university and enjoying your time there is extremely important so start looking as early as you can. It really pays to search out different scholarship opportunities early, and there's no harm in starting college visits midway through high school... they're a lot of fun! When visiting a school, don't just talk to the counselors, because it's their job to get you enrolled. Talk to the students.... see how THEY like it. They'll give you their honest opinion and great advice on scholarships, what to bring to college, campus events, and other valuable information. Finally, enjoy the search. This is a really big decision but that doesn't mean it has to be stressful! Good luck and if you research enough and pray about it, you'll find the school that's right for you!
