The college I am attending doesn't have that great of reviews....but how can I make the best of it?

Answer 1

so listen to your teachers - and read more that you are suppose to - find a college with excellent review - get hold of their reading schedule - who theyll be discussing and such - and research and educate your mind a little more that way

you always have the option if you cant afford it now to save up after you graduate and take an imortant course at another college - just for credentials -

Answer 2

To get the most out of college, you should probably schedule an appointment with your counselor. He or she will be able to tell you all about majors, minors, and everything academic. If your college has an internship and career center, you should look there too to find internships in your major. You can probably ask about various clubs and recreational activities to your counselor also. Even though your school has bad reviews doesn't mean you can't get the most out of your education, you just have to know where to look. Hope this helped!

Answer 3

David, even though your college may not have the highest rating in your major, it's what you DO with your education that makes the biggest difference. Someone who went to Harvard, for example, that's lazy or dishonest, will not be any competition for a motivated, hard working, honest employee. Bosses know who works the hardest and accomplishes the most. If you need to learn more once you start work, get the books you need and study hard.

Don't worry, be hard working.

Answer 4

Depends on what you are trying to do.
Have fun: have fun (BYU might kick you out...oh well)
Get in to grad school: go above and beyond. Being the top in a class of 15,000 with a good essay will still get you into any grad school you want in.
Get a good job: This depends on what field you want to go in -- some fields require accredidation of your program from specific organizations or passing certain state or national exams. Study hard to perform well on those exams if they exist and work on projects related to your field so you'll have some 'real' experience/a portfolio to show. Also take summer internships in your future field if you can get them.

Answer 5

If you are progressing toward a Baccelaureate, it doesn't matter much which college you attend. If you don't plan to get into a Masters or Doctoral program, just do your time and don't worry about your college's rating in US News.

Answer 6

those reviews are too often superficial. You can find great professors and great resources at almost any university. I wouldn't worry too much about those reviews since they never tell you how much you may actually learn at the university you are attending.

Answer 7

Do well in your classes anyway and see if you can join groups and after school activities.
You may also try and find internships during the summer, that way you can show your future employers that you are driven and do well, even if your school doesn't have the best reputation.

Answer 8

I transferred from a Community College to a TIER ONE school. Just do your best in your freshman/sophomore years, and then the whole world is open to you.

I am currently in the process of applying to Princeton for graduate school. The whole world is my oyster because I didn't let the time I had to spend at the CC hold me back. I made the best of it, and now I've got hundreds of doors open to me.

Best of luck to you!
