University of West Alabama Top Questions

WHEN A STUDENT IS TRYING TO FIND THE RIGHT COLLEGE MAKE SURE THAT YOU CHOOSE IT BECAUSE IT IS WHAT YOU WANT NOT WHAT ANYONE ELSE WANTS. YOU SHOULD GO TO THE SCHOOL AND SPEND TIME TRY TO MEET A FEW PEOPLE AND SEE WHAT THEY THINK ABOUT THE SCHOOL. DON'T CHOOSE A SCHOOL BECAUSE ITS YOUR FAVORITE SPORTS TEAM OR YOU DAD WENT THERE. AFTER YOU HAVE VISTITEDALL THE SCHOOLS YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT ATTENEING YOU WILL JUST KNOW WHICH ONE IS RIGHT FOR YOU. AS YOU WALK ON CAMPUS JUST IMAGINE YOURSELF GOIN TO SCHOOL THERE, MAKING FREINDS, AND BEING INVOLVED. IF IT FEELS RIGHT THEN THATS THE SCHOOL FOR YOU. THAT IS HOW I CHOOSE THE UNIVERSITY OF WEST ALABAMA AND IT HAS BEEN THE BEST CHOICE I HAVE EVER MADE.

My advice to others is to tour the campus, observe the people around each of the campus.

I would give positive advice telling them to choose a college that best fits their personality. If they enjoy being away from and love meeting new people then maybe they would like to attend a big college or if they like smaller classrooms and one on one interactions with their professors then they might want to look into a smaller college. I would definiately tell them to tour schools and talk with advisors to see what college their more comfortable with. To make most of their college experience i would tell them to study hard, meet new people, and get involved in the classroom.

Go West!

I would advise a student to do whatever it takes to go to the school that you want to attend even if you have to start out at a junior college and work part time to save up some money. Start as early as possible after you graduate or even before with college courses. That way you won't have so much to do when you actually get to collge. Apply for any and all financial aid that you can. It helps. A lot! When you do start school, don't get sidetracked. Stay focused. Nobody wants to waste time and money if they don't have to. I know I don't. Most importantly PRAY. God will see you through any and everything.
