University of Oklahoma-Health Sciences Center Top Questions

To find the right college, I highly reccomend that you visit the campus. It was my experience as well as many others' that you really get a certain feeling when you visit campuses. Interestingly, I was able to tell in a matter of minutes if this was a place that would be right for me. Don't just pick a college based on where your high school friends are going. Ultimately, this might turn out to be a poor decision. To make the most of your college experience, I suggest that you get involved in extracurricular activities. This is a wonderful way to meet new friends, network, and establish a place for yourself at the university. I firmly believe that the people who enjoy their college experience the most are those who really dug in and got involved in something they were passionate about. You can't just spend your entire college career studying-- you need to enrich your life by becoming involved in your community and school.

If you know what you want to major in, ask potential future employers about the quality of students from that school. Look for a school that will be able to provide you with individual attention if needed. Get involved with activities on campus including volunteer/community service stuff.
