College Startup Tips and More

When you are about to enter college, the first thing that you have in mind is to study in one of the most famous and high-standardized schools in the state. However, you are not that confident that you will be admitted to the college of your top choice, thus, your tendency is to apply for a few more colleges, the next top colleges and universities on your lists. But the question here is that, how will you be able to determine the number of colleges you should apply? Should you only apply in one college? Two? Three? Or more?

Before you send your college applications to almost every college or university within your state or country, you must first determine if it’s all worth it. Try to think of your time, your money, and the effort that you will invest in applying on all the colleges in the nation. Some will just be a waste of time. You must keep in mind that you are not allowed to study in two different schools all at the same time. Thus, at the very beginning, you already need to make up your mind as to where you wanted to apply and get enrolled at.

Try to list the top schools that you wanted to enroll and focus first on the top three colleges on your list. If you were not accepted on the first try, then proceed to the next school on your list and so on. This will help you maximize your focus to your top bet among other votes.

Some people say that there is no problem with drinking unless you drink moderately, however, when you are just on your college degree and yet you are already drinking excessively, that could become a big problem. 

Drinking too much alcoholic beverages is highly discouraged to the college students. Drinking can cause too much harm and damage and it can lead to failures most of the time. Alcohol drinking can lead you to no good and it will just ruin your life. Excessive alcohol drinking can cause too much damage in your brain cells and thus, this can affect your focus and concentration on your studies.

Also, another basic example is the focus and attentiveness you have in school. Say for example, you drink too much a night before and you’ve had hangover the following day. Do you think you can still perform well the following day if you have hangover? You will probably sleep in your close the whole day if that’s the case. How will you be able to answer your quizzes or finish your projects then? This is going to be a huge problem.

You are not forced drinking alcohol, but it is highly recommended for you to do so, especially when you are just in your college years. Alcohol drinking will simply hinder you from becoming successful so if you don’t want that to happen, then you must avoid alcohol and focus on your notes and lessons instead. 

Choosing a college does not only focus on the standard or quality of education that a student can acquire from studying from the institution for four years, but also on the kinds of environment that she will be living with and spending the rest of the four or five years of stay in the academe.

For all we know, our environment highly affects our behavior and attitude as a person thus we should really choose the kind of environment we should be exposed from, but if in cases where you can no longer refuse or flee from the bad-influencing environments, then you need to make a solution for that and one thing that comes into my mind is to simply know your limitations and be able to say “NO”. Parents usually fear that their children will be exposed to bad influences when they stepped out of their homes so they must also make sure that the kind of school that their child will apply on has a friendly, peaceful, and pleasant environment. And in order for you to evaluate the environment of the college you wanted to attend to, then you must go for some college visits.

We all know that each school is different, some are huge which is capable of accommodating 30,000 or more students and some have only a few hundred students yet this small number of students is already the best because they are chosen well. If you were to be asked, which do you prefer, do you want to enroll in a school which looks already like a city campus or just like a small town. Ask your parent to accompany you during the campus visit because this can help you decide which college to choose.
