Winona State University Top Questions

Students: choose what is best for you. Don't go by where your parents or teachers or friends want you to go; in the end, college is about YOU. Trust your instincts, and the rest will fall into place. Parents: let your son/daughter make their own decision. Finding the right college for them is exactly that; let them spread their wings a little, and trust that they know what is right for them. The rest will fall into place.

When you are on your college visits find the college that best fits you. Also take the time if possible to not only tour your university or college of choice but also try to take part in an over-night program. Also, get involved when you get to campus! The best thing that keeps a student motivated is by being involved in campus clubs or organizations. If that is not your thing then get involved with the campus community in supporting sports teams, attending arts activities, or anything else that may be of interest of you. But most of all HAVE FUN!

Visit the campus before you make a decision. Explore a lot of options! Even if you think you are sure about a college look into others just in case. College is a great experience!
