Answer 1

Everyone says this, but the best college for you is not necessarily the best college for me - so I cannot tell you specifically which to go to.

Find one where you are comfortable, where you are excited to be there, where you feel motivated to study and to make social connections. Visiting colleges really makes a difference - you will get a sense from the atmosphere whether you feel at home there.

Balancing partying and studying is difficult and something you'll have to learn when you get there. There will always be plenty of parties and plenty of studying to do. You'll have to find your own schedule that works.

The classes are harder and more demanding than high school. You will not be babysat by your teachers and if you are not doing well, they are not likely to make it their responsibility to help you, they don't have time and your education is your own responsibility. You will have to adapt to the higher difficulty level, but this is something everyone must do and if you don't give up, you'll immediately, you'll probably be able to adapt within a few weeks or months.

Definitely try to be social while there, take advantage of as many opportunities as possible, don't forget about studying, and enjoy yourself. It isn't supposed to be torture, it is supposed to be a time of growth. You'll love it.

Answer 2

I had many sleepless nights while trying to fiqure out the perfect college for my needs. Unfortunately, it can't be decided by anyone else. The basic thing to do is look up information about the colleges for your major. Just search your major over the internet. Always remember that you will stay at your college for four years, so make sure you like the location you will be attending. For instance, if you want to be closer to your parents - make sure the college is instate; if you don't like the winter season - make sure you take that into consideration; it's a long four years so make sure that you take all considerations into your choice. Also, ask around but never just chose a college because your friends are going there. You will change, along with this your friends will also!

As for how do you survive the partying in college - see the links below. You shouldn't have a problem with surviving the partying, studying, levels of classes, and etc if you keep your mind on the prize. Just remember that college will change your life forever - you can chose your destiny.

You will have a great time in college! Best time of my life up until now. Good Luck on your choosing a college that fits you. Best Wishes!

It is important to understand that everybody is different, and different schools and majors are good for different people. What you should think about in the next few years is what do you like to do(academically). Think about whether you want to go away to college or to live at home, and how far if you are going away. You want to think about the size of the school, whether you think you are comfortable at a large university, or if you would be more happy somewhere with small classes. If money is an issue, you should try looking at some in-state colleges to save money. The bottom line is that as a high school freshman, you do not need to worry about what you are going to major in. Many college students do not pick a major until their third year. Just work hard in high school, and get good grades so you have more options when you begin to apply.

Partying? Don't worry about that. That will happened however much you want it to wherever you go.

And if you are really worried about majors, there are places you can look up information about different jobs and what it takes to get them. Try the two below.

Answer 4

First of all, if you're a freshman in high school, there's nothing to worry about right now. You have a few years to get everything straightened out. It's great that you're doing it now, but don't get worked up about it.

There is no generally "best college" to go to, and there is no "best major." Everything depends on what you want to do. If you already have an idea of what you would like to do as a career, you should make sure the colleges you look at have that major, and then you should check into the major itself.

When picking colleges, take a few things into consideration. A major one is tuition cost. If you're willing to spend $40,000 a year to go to a private college, then go for it. If you're undecided about a major, you might want to consider a community college for the first two years. That way, you save money while you take classes and figure out which ones interest you the most. Then, when you find out what you want to do, you can transfer after your two years. Also ask yourself if you want to go to a college far from home, or close by.

In regards to the classes...I attend a liberal arts college. I'm a sophomore. I'm almost done with my requirement courses. The point of a liberal arts college is to give students an array of different courses. Sometimes people are set on what they want to do with their life, but taking courses in different areas of study can change their minds. Most of my introductory level courses were straight-forward and easy. Once you get into the higher-level courses, such as 300 courses, it is going to get harder.

Partying. Not everyone parties, and you don't need to. The best way to juggle partying and studying is to be stern with yourself. Your friends might go out on Thursday nights, but if you know you have classes and homework to do, tell yourself to stay in. I generally party on Friday and Saturdays, and give myself Sunday to recuperate and do homework.

I hope this helps, and if you have any more questions, feel free to ask me!

Answer 5

Nobody can tell you wuts best to major in, you have to decide what you like. many things motivate ppl to chose a career . for example money. you decide what u like and what you feel you can do for the rest of your life and will be happy doing even if you don't get paid much. i don't party at all so cant help you in that area. once you figure out what you want to study do some research on line for schools that are good for that particular major. the classes are not hard if you study before class and if u find it hard, find a tutor, most of them are free. just make sure you don't lose focus even if your party !

Answer 6

The problem is people have too many options...

Go to the best school you can get into/afford...Do the best you can while you are there...You will party sometimes, you will study most of it...and the classes are not the hardest unitl you get up into your higher classes so don't worry about that...,FInd a major that you like or love...and keep your passion in it going, there will be days that you hate it, but deep down you will be glad that you did.

Answer 7

Alright here we go:

I'm a junior, I just now figured out what I wanted to do. When you get into college, take a wide array of courses, but pick the ones you would think are interesting. Don't go kill yourself with the basics first just to come out not knowing what to do (That would be me).

College, where you pick, depends on the population and location pretty much. I've been to two different universities, in size and location, and I support the smaller more rural one. Graduate School is much different though.

And partying.. Just do it. We all do.

Answer 8

babe I would worry about getting through HS first...this reads like it was written by a chimp on a 3 day bender...also most COLLEGES will not let you go to their COLLEGE until you learn how to spell COLLEGE...except Florida State...

Answer 9

If you are looking for the best school, you'd better go over your spelling first.
