University of Mary Top Questions

Your first choice may not always be the school you will attend. I always want to attend this one school in the Twin Cities but, my parents and I could not afford it. I was really disappointed with them and my self. So, I had to begin looking at schools all over again. Thats when I found University of Mary. It had the same major things I was looking for in a school. Once I got here, I loved. I wouldn't trade it for anything. My advice to parents or students is not overlook small schools and take your time deciding. I was not even 100 percent sure about my school but once I started I never wanted to leave. I knew in my gut that I would make it work. So, if you don't get in your dream school or can't afford, there is always other great schools are there that you have not discovered yet that is just waiting for you.

Make your first concern your education. Only once you do that should money be put into the picture.

I feel that one of the first things parents and students should look at is whether they want to be in a small or large university community. There are benefits to both types of universities depending what area of study a person wants to pursue. It is critical that a person finds a university where he/she will function the best and be the happiest. These things are very important and will have a great impact on the students' success. Students should also be encouraged to become a part of their college community in some way, by joining clubs or groups, etc. These things help the student to meet new people, form new relationships, become an active part of their community, and broaden their perspectives which all work together to create a stronger support structure for the student throughout the years. Finding a good fit for the student has a great influence on his/her success, happiness and growth through the college years.
