Voorhees College Top Questions

If I were to go back in time to talk to myself as a high school senior, I would advise myself to be serious about my decision in obtaining a college degree. It will take hard work, time and dedication. Make sure I complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on time every year, so that I can get the maximum amount of federal student aid if eligible. Go to school if you want to learn and not just to party. There is nothing wrong with socializing, meeting new people, getting involve with campus activities, but make sure you focus on education and that it is your top priority at all times. Always remember the number one reason you went to college is to get an education.

I would tell myself to be envolved in anything possible and not procastinate on joing groups that you want to. I will also tell myself to go out and meet everybody I can to make me feel more comfortable in my surrondings.

If I could go back to my senior year of high school I believe I would only change one thing. I will make sure that I pay close attention in all my high school classes. There were many times that I horsed around in high school and have not pay attention to my class work. Now that I am attending college, my laziness is catching up on me. I have to focus extra hard in my college class because I have not learned certain materials in my high school class because of my lack of studying. I will definitely notify myself that college is not a joke and it is all about focusing on your studies and not horse playing around and parting.

If I could go back in time to my senior year in high school I would change a lot knowing what I know now. For one I wouldn't have been so ready to get out and instead would have taken more classes to boost my GPA. I would have also not been involved in all the drama of high school, instead I would have joined more clubs then I was in. I would have also joined more clubs and did more community service. I also would have went to prom and not in such a rush to grow up.

When it is time for a student and the parents to search for schools, it is important to first sit down and discuss what the parendts and the child is looking for in an institution. For example, if the child wants to play basketball, and the parents want a religious school, make a list to narrow down the search. Once the list is formed, research schools on the internet and explore the schools' website for more information about the schools. After the choices are made and narrowed down start applying, request for more information, and take to a recruiter. Talking to a recruiter can help because recruiters can answer all the questions that the parents and students have and the recruiter may be able to offer the child a scholarship and further help the child adjust , if he/she chooses that institution. The child and parents should also take the time to visit each school to see exactly what the school has to offer and look at the environment of the school and to get a feel of the teachers, faculty and students at the school.

make sure that you vist the school of your choice, see if you like it. Try to go some where you know that your going to like, because if you dont then your going to want to transfer to one school to another, and then you will never finsh.

go with your all and do your best in anything you do.

Student, Please start preparing for going to college when you enter high school. This will make the process so much easier when you get ready to graduate and go off to college. Research a field of study when you first enter high school, atleast you already know what you want to do in college. Next, take your time in your research and go visit campus throughout your high school period until you graduate. Secondly, look into ways for paying for college, college is very expensive and if you can stay out of debt during your college career then you will do alot better after graduating. Lastly, go to a college you want to go to, not one your friends are going to or your parents want you to go to.

I would tell them to make sure they know exactly what thet want out of life before choosing a college. I would also tell them to make sure the college they choose fits them and they feel like it is their home away from home. No matter what college you go to, you have to always make the best of it. That is the only way that you will enjoy yourself and learn to love your school.
