University of North Texas Top Questions

No matter where you go, make sure that it's a place where you are comfortable with and you feel like you can easily be yourself without worrying about what others think.

Make sure to do you research. Consider things like future housing, convience of necessity stores, etc. Also consider distance from home. You may be dying to get away from family, but remember that theirsupport is important too.

shop before you buy.... dont make a choice based upon convenience or proximity to home. it is worth it to take a trip and visit a few places to find out which ones FEEL like home. that is where you will find success.

All things depend on the individual. Every school has great things to offer for each individual, but I feel many students do not give enough time to get the most out of a university and do not put forth enough effort to find all the resources that universities may hold. If a student truly has the desire to get the most out of their college experience they will do so regardless of the university, location, major, and cost. As for finding the right college my suggestion is to consider all aspects of each university and what it offers and weigh the importance of the amenities to the student. I would also remind all student to look forward to the future and if expenses will be a life long burden to maybe reconsider. The final suggestion I have for all students is to remember that you are in college to get an education, studying helps and makes it much easier and less stressful; and the final suggestion for parents would be to relax and remember that your child isn?t you and support them regardless of whatever they may decide it will allow both of you to be happy.

First you need to find a college that you think that you like. Somewhere where you like the environment of the campus. If you do not like the campus you most likely won't like the school. You need to decide if you want a small school or a big one, this is also part of the environment. If you hate the cold do not go somewhere cold. If you hate the desert then do not go there because you will end up hating school. The biggest thing in college GET ENVOLVED. You can not make friends just sitting in your dorm playing World of Warcraft all day. Get out do things go to a movie with friends, invite people over to hang out or go to lunch. Do something with other people. Yes you are in college to get an education, but you also need to have fun while you get it. Too many people are getting depressed and commiting suicide and part of it is because they think no one cares. Everyone needs social interaction to have better quality of life.

Check out what the college is known for academically. Not all colleges are music inclined or teaching inclined

N/A

Take a tour of the colleges you are most interested in. That was what really convinced me to go to UNT. Also, I think it is important to make sure that your major is one of their main focuses. Like at UNT, they are known for their college of education. I think it is also important to talk to friends or other students that already attend that university so you can get a students opinion of what the university is really like. Most of all, just have fun looking and picking out your college. Those are the most fun and important 4 years of your life!!!!!

Find the correct college is all about making sure its the right school for you. Not becuase your friends are going there or becuase your parents went there. The best way is to look at the schools you are intrested and talk to the advisor they are normally alot of help, also dont be shy to ask other students that are in the program your are intrested in, it might help as well. The best way to get a good college experience is to do you work, stay out of trouble, keep your self busy with work, friends or clubs and dont get into trouble, with drugs and alcholo like alot of people do. College is not about drinking and parting its about sucedding in life and growing up into adult hood.

In my opinion, it's not always about finding the school with the most prestigious name. Just because you go to a University that's a little bit "under the radar" does not make it any more or less special than those big name Universities in your state. There is almost always access to all the great activities you can find at a big University, from the comfort of a closer smaller University. To me, it's all about putting yourself out there and making the most of your college experience. There's a whole world out there within Universities, with endless possibilities, it's just about making the effort to find those great things you want to do.
