University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point Top Questions

If I know what I know now my life would be different. First off, I would have looked at schools more. When applying to schools my parents just told me apply to any school, but I have never looked at any of the schools before. Also, I would STRONGLY suggest Don't Go With The Flow! Just because your girlfriend or other friends are going to all one school it DOESN'T mean that you should go too. Having friends right away doesn't guarantee that you will have a great time and it will create drama. The whole college experience is about finding yourself and proving that you can jump through hoops for four years or more to earn piece of paper or as its known a degree. College is a lot of fun, but most importantly you should remind yourelf that you're their for the education.

The advice I would give to parents is to trust that the information they have provided their sons/daughters with will be enough to help them through the challenges as well as obsticles college brings forth. I would remind the parents to be open and honest with their children and to allow their sons/daughters to go to them with any questions or problems. The advice I would give unto the students is to go into college with an open mind, friendly personality, and to always stay focused on their academics. Attending class daily is very important for students to do and even though nobody is there to remind the students that they have to wake up for their 8 o'clock class. The students need to be driven enough to make sure they make it to class on time everyday on their own. I would tell the students, overall, college is a lot of hardwork, tons of fun, and it is a place to learn and grow along side with the life-long friends they will make throughout their journey.
