West Virginia University Top Questions

Check out the school, see everything it has to offer. Meet new people, and get involved in something!!!

Make sure that there are teachers teaching the classes and not TA's.

I would tell any parents and students trying to find the right college for them to visit as many as they can and ask questions. They should ask questions about their area of interest, any sports they're interested in playing, clubs, housing. They should get all the information possible and weigh the options heavily on academics, not just where your friends are going. I believe the key to making the most of college is making as many friends as you can through your major and other majors as well. The best thing you can do is get involved in clubs and extra-curricular activities. Many students try to stay with people they already know going into college, and this isn't entirely bad. But, I have made some the best friends by having classes with noone I knew and stepping out of my comfort zone to meet new people. Have fun! But, don't disregard your studies.

Visit campus in advance and stay over night and talk to students. Visit learning disability office if need assistance.

i would tell parrents and students that choosing the right school for you is a very important thing. If your not sure what college you want to attend upon high school graduation, or if your not even sure if you want to go to college at all college, you should at try community college to start out. it will let you get the feel of college on a smaller level and it will save you money on credits that are mostly transferable. As to making the most of your college experiance, i would say take the raods less traveled and try out some new things. Dont be a follower but instead be a trend setter, and most importantly, just be you. Don't try to impress anyone with an act because the joke will be on you. if you are yourself you will make more friends and they will be higher quality friends that will last a lifetime.

I suggest going to a school where you can obtain a new experience and not everyone from your high school goes to. It helps you learn responsibilities and be able to live on your own. Find a school that you fall in love with when you first show up. Make sure that your major is at the college you plan to attend and make sure there are other things around the school to do than just school work. Have fun and enjoy college.

Go to a school where you feel excited and comfortable to be.

I think that students should go someplace where they feel comfortable and happy because those places tend to make for a much better learning environment. Take your time choosing the school, but trust your gut instinct!

The best advice I could give to anyone about finding the perfect college would be to visit many schools and find both positive and negative aspects of each school. By visiting different schools, it can help identify different aspects that a person enjoys and can help narrow down the search for schools. Also, have an idea of a major, and choose a school that has opportunities for what you may like to do in the future. To make the most of the colllege experience, be open minded and friendly. Introduce new ideas and become involved in clubs and organizations around campus (great way to meet new people!). Study hard, but don't forget to have fun!
