Weber State University Top Questions

Okay here's the deal I'm going to be honest: Weber State University sucks. I wouldn't have gone there if I could have afforded a different school to attend. My advice to you is to apply for as many scholarships and other schools as possible before you graduate. In terms of cost of living and easy classes WSU is good, however; if you want a social life and want to enjoy fun/challenging classes: go to another school! Simple as that, that's all I have to say: take it or leave it!

I would have told myself that I should have listened to my mother when she told me to save my money instead of spending it on clothes and food. I also would have told myself to figure out what I wanted to do before going to school without a clue as to what I was realy interested in. I would have told myself to learn study and time management skills at an early age.

I would tell myself not to settle for a "C". It is very important to do better. A lot of programs out there require better than a 2.0 gpa. So instead of having to re-take classes over agian study hard, ask lots of questions if you don't understand and don't be affraid to speak up because most likely you won't be the only one who doesnt get it. Also to go to class every day. The more you miss, the more you will struggle. Some times you may want to give up but just hang in there because it will pay off. One last thing, not only to do your homework for class, but do you homework on which school would be best for you. You dont want to go somewhere that you wont like and then end up with a ton of loans to pay back. Do it right the first time. Pick the right school for you, go to class every day, do you assignments, ask questions and get it done!

The advice I would give myself would be to have not stressed out as much about college. Everyone makes college out to be this big, scary institution and it is really not much different from high school, except for that fact that it is all self-motivation. If you are not motivated to do the reading and the extra work for studying then college is not the right choice for you.

Finish college after high school. Don't wait so many years before going back and getting a degree.

In high school I was a bit of an outsider. I never really got involved with student organizations because I was so afraid of others. The student population intimidated me to the point that I was often afraid to even voice my own opinions in class, let alone join clubs or groups in which my school provided. If I could go back in time and give myself any advice, it would be to get involved. I would tell myself that if I could just go out there and join student groups or organizations, take part of HOSA or some sort of academic program, that my transition to college would be the easiest transition of my life. I would also demand that my senior should take more college classes in preparation for the ?college classroom atmosphere.? As I look at my college experience currently, I know for a fact that if I had taken more college classes back in high school, that I would be a better student today. If I had that previous experience on my shoulders, I would have so many more opportunities available to me at this juncture. My improvement would be extremely amazing.

That its not as bad as you think it is. Like making the transition is easier than you really think. another thing would be not to spend your money as much save every penny you can because collage is very expencive and you cant survive for long without taking out student loans.

I looked at the brochure I was handed and began flipping through; the ?tuition? section stopped me cold. Suddenly, there was a flash and I found myself facing? myself. I screamed. ?Shh.? The older me smiled. ?I don?t have much time. I?m here to give you?us, some advice.? I looked up. ?About college?? She nodded, ?Don?t go with the trend. I know you want to go to BYU because all our friends are going there. Look at the cost. I?m here to tell you that some of your friends will soon be running their parents into a financial crisis. Don?t worry; we?ll get there when it counts. For now, ?wade? into college. But even at a smaller school the tuition cost will be rough. You need to work hard.? I sighed. ?Thanks for the tip.? The other me smiled, ?Anything for me! Remember, friendships change after high school. Sacrifice not being with the ?in? crowd now and you?ll be rewarded later.? I nodded. The other me began to fade. I hesitated, ?Are we going to make it to BYU?? She sighed, ?We?ll see.? I laughed, ?I knew I?d say that.?

As the end of your senior year gets closer, you're going to be fighting the hands of time. You had an incredible high school experience and I know you're afraid of leaving this place you've grown so comfortable in. Don't be afraid. Take a deep breath, relax, and enjoy the experience coming your way. You have a bright future ahead of you full of opportunities. Don't hesitate to take chances and do the things you want to do. Get involved and don't let the fear of not knowing others stop you. Take the time to explore the options that present themselves to you because they'll open new doors that you never thought you'd find. Above all else, don?t let anyone tell you that you?re someone you?re not. You have the values you have for a reason. You?ll learn some hard lessons, but you come out on top as a stronger person. College is an incredible experience and I promise that despite the great time you had in high school, you're not going to look back.

Stop fooling around and get focused! There is so much out there and now is the worst time to be lazy and indecisive. You will regret any time wasted. Figure out what you want and go and get it. The only thing standing between you and success is yourself. Don't let anything or anyone discourage you. It most definitely will not be easy, but hard work will pay off. College will not teach you everything there is to know, but it will teach you how to think and not to be afraid of knowlege. As you move along in college remember that good grades don't mean anything if you're not learning. In conclusion, don't procrastinate and make education a top priority.
