University of Missouri-Kansas City Top Questions

Don't choose a school because it may look better than another school or because it's bigger. Choose a school that fits your desire of interest. It can be very hard to narrow down to the best school if you have so many requirements for a school to the best. It would be helpful to get involved because you can meet new people and have fun. You would never know that the person you meet would have the same desired major like you and that person can help you whenever you need help. Always keep your head in the books and never let anyone tell you that you cannot succeed in life. Staying focused and doing your best is the best experience that you could get in becoming successful

Let your kids decide, dont preasure them!

Think about what you want to study and see how good the program is at the schools your are looking at. Also, look into the student life on campus and all the programs they offer, that is a really important component to a school.

Look for a place you feel comfortable. Go visit the campus and get the feel of it! Its up to you to make the most out of college! Go somewhere that you can get involved with stuff you like to do. Just remember you get out what you put in!!!

Apply to and visit as many schools as possible, consider the location and social climate and really make sure you'll be happy there.

I would advice to the students that enroll in college classes to dedicate time to study with the goal of getting a good mark in the class. A good GPA is important for getting financial aid and scholarships. The college you attend will depend on what you decide about the amount of years you want to spend in college, and the degree you want to achieve. Also, give some thought to the long range goal of continuing to graduate school.

Take tours of the colleges of choice first, explore the programs of study(make sure you have a backup course plan just in case the one you want falls through and make sure the school has that major too), talk to financial aid and map out a budget.

Get involved on the campus and also stay on top of your studies. But also attend a campus tour of the universities or colleges that you may have in mind to attend in order to make your decision on whether the enviroment is best for you.

The only way to really find what college you are really interested in would be to go to an area in which you would be comfortable living. And to find the college that has an area of study for which degree you want. Then, visit, visit, visit. Try and visit as many compuses as possible, then all you have to choose is the one you liked best and think you would be most comfortable at. Also, tuition could be another factor in choosing a college. Be wise about your money, just make sure you are getting what you are paying for.

Its important to really make your school selection based on how you are as a person. Dont pick a school based on friends you know who go there or solely on location, its important that the school has a focus on your intended major and the size of the campus suites you. Do not pick a school and then put yourself in its mold. Find a school that fits you, for who you really are. Dont fear not knowing anyone at a school, that will come later, going to a college or big university is only to get an education not a four year long party. Include your family in your choice because you will really need them while you are in school.
