University of Detroit Mercy Top Questions

When choosing a college that is best for you it is important that you try to seperate the stigma of a school from what the school is. Instead of choosing a school because of its name or reputation, choose a school that fits you. That offers the programs that you are most interested in. Choose a school where the professors care more about their studnets succeeding instead of worrying about their own personal gain be it by research or whatever means. Choose a school that fits your learning style as well. Don't attend a school that has big class size if you know that you learn best in a more intimate setting. The most important advice I can give is to do not worry what school your friend is applying to but to choose a school that offers an enviroment that fits you, you will always be able to make friends.

I WOULD TELL TO EXPLORE THEIR OPTIONS FIRST. THEY SHOULD A LOT OF RESEARCH. ALSO, FIND OUT WHAT IT IS ONE REALLY WANTS TO DO AND IN WHAT MANNER THEY WANT TO DO SO, THEN TO APPROACH FINDING THE RIGHT COLLEGE FOR THEM. I CHOSE MY SCHOOL FOR ITS SMALL FAMILY-LIKE COMMUNITY. IT WORKED FOR ME AND NOW IM APPROACHING GRADUATION SOON. FIND OUT WHAT MOVES AND MOTIVATES YOU AND GO FOR IT!

Try to find true happiness. If you think you didn't choose the right place at first that is fine, but get out of there ASAP because if you don't you are just wasting your own time and money. Students shouldn't feel pressured to go into an area of study that they are not interested in. Even though it seems like a great career choice if you are unhappy it will make the rest of your life unberable. One of the ways i know of to makke the most of a college experience is getting involved. Involvement in different clubs and activities allows you develope a more proffesional mindset which you will help you when you apply for a job or graduate school. College is what you make it, so make the right choices.

Make sure the student wants to attend that college and that the student will be inspired to learn. The college should also be known for the program that the student is going to study, and that it is an overall good school to attend.

I have a bit of advice for parents when helping your child choose a school, and how to make the most of the college experience. First, narrow down a list of schools that are within your childs academic criteria and price range. It is important to select a school who's coursework will not be too overwhelming and will not leave you or your child in debt for 20 years. Also, Be sure that the college offers an accredited program for their prospective field of study so their degree will be recognized by all companies and organizations. As for making the most of the college experience, encourage them to explore all clubs/fraternities/sororities. These can open up alot of doors for networking and making life-long friends. Also, campus life can be quite dull at times, so it is important to be socially active (while maintaining healthy study habits, of course). In my opinion, these are some of the most important things to do in order to make a wise college choice and have the best experience possible.

Its important to look around the school. The education can be top rate and the campus secure and beautiful but if you have to drive thirty minuets to have fun off campus the first couple of years are going to be very uncomfortable. Its important to ask students what they think about administration prior to choosing a university as well. I would encourage parents and students to use the exact phrase ?is the administration well organized? If the answer is no be wary! Finally, its important to ask why did most students choose this university? The response to this question should not be ?money? or ?close to home?.

1. Attend a large private school that will give you the most money so that you do not have to worry about going into financial debt.

First thing you have to consider is whether you want to live close or far from home. The next thing you have to consider is whether you want to go to a big school or a small school. Next is private or public. Once you know the answers to those questions, it becomes easier to know where to go. Things I considered were the selectivity of the school, the percentage of out of state students at the school, and over all diversity. Think about what is most important to you and research in depth the schools you consider. I suggest going to any open houses that the school has to offer to get a first hand experience on what the school is really like. Another important thing to remember is to talk to the financial aid and make sure you understand exactly where you stand on scholarships, grants, and loans. You don't want to have to owe too much money when you graduate, thats annoying.

I would say that the most important thing is to do your research!! Plan what classes yuo will be taking for the four years and how much everything is going to cost and then you can compare with other schools. Get it right from the first year, dont think that you will have time to fix a certain grade later because the truth is, you wont! The years pass by so quickly and befire you know it, you are getting ready to graduate! Also, have fun!

Make sure you do not attend a school just because your friend is attending, becasue what is right for them may not be right for you. Be open minded because schools offer more than what they give off.
