What’s Next After High School? Choosing the Right College
Getting Your Education Paid For
Is Community College the Place to Start? Community Colleges nowadays are the go to choice for many coming out of high school for several reasons. 1. Tired of School For starters, many kids are simply tired of going school when they graduate so spending the next four years at a large university is not their first choice. Those same students still want to further their education but at their own pace, maybe taking a class or two at a time. 2. Cost Kids today find it difficult to attend the traditional four year school because of the high tuition costs at many schools. Community colleges are an affordable alternative that allow high school graduates to continue higher education without going into lifelong debt doing it. Some kids are on their own financially once they graduate from high school so they may need to work while attending school which requires a more flexible schedule. All of these options are available through a typical community college.
3. Academic Performance Sometimes a student may not have been accepted by a college based on their high school academic performance so starting out at a community college the first year helps those students keep their education going while taking a couple of classes to help get a solid GPA established before reapplying to a 4 year college when acceptance may be more attainable. 4. Degree of Study Depending on the area of study or degree an individual wants to obtain, it is sometimes better to get that education through courses at a community college level. Dental Hygiene, Plumbing & Heating, Radiation Technology and Medical Imaging, as well as Engineering Technology are all degrees that can be attained by attending a community college from start to finish. 5. Flexibility Community Colleges often offer a large variety of classes and various times for each class . This flexibility enables students to have a better balance of work and school. They can take evening classes if their job requires day hours or the other way around. Many young men and women find that attending community college offers the chance to continue their education while also making a living to support themselves.. 6. Financial Aid Applying for financial aid is still an option when attending community college as long as the individual is taking usually a minimum of 6 credits or 2 courses. This is a big plus for those who face more than one challenge of attending secondary education. 7. Learning Environment Class sizes at the community college level can be significantly smaller allowing more individualized attention. As with many colleges there is also online courses available through community colleges which many people benefit from as well.
Whatever school you choose to attend, weigh the factors and then choose the school that is best for you. Remember just because your best friend is excited about their huge university does not mean it is the right fit for you. Just because all your brothers and sisters went to a large college doesn't mean university life is right for you. Talk to your academic advisors and make a list of all the pros and cons.

College—Best Days of Your Life When my senior year of high school finally came around, every one of my friends was ready to be done the first day of school. It was almost like they forgot we still had another whole year to work hard to achieve our dreams. I kept telling myself to stay on my pre determined path of study and keep working hard. This sounds like an easy task but I had so many friends slacking off, spending all their time hanging out and socializing with little or no attention being paid to their homework. This made life very difficult for me because I wanted to be out partying and socializing too, but I knew I had to stayed focus on my schoolwork through the entire year if I had any hopes of scholarships being offered to me. I am here to tell you that my sacrifice and hard work PAID OFF! The time I spent my senior year studying and keeping my grades up made a huge difference in my future. I received an academic scholarship from a large university and was able to attend college without an over abundant amount of stress from the costs being incurred. Do not think for one minute that just because I had a scholarship, I could slack off. On the contrary I had to work that much harder because I wanted to make sure I had the scholarship available my entire college term. I knew that four more years of hard work would be well worth when I graduated from college without student loan debt to worry about. As for the time I gave up with my friends, it was worth it. I even had a friend or two say they envied my determination and wished they had worked hard like I did because they knew I was starting my life out of college without debt to concern myself with. I didn’t lose any friends from not partying, we just had less time together during the really important years. Remember, your friends will always be your friends if they are true friends. Many times students head off to college because the is the society norm. They do not give serious thought to the commitment they make when attending college. Contrary to popular belief, college is not the time to party and slack off, college is the time to work even harder to prepare yourself for your future career. Of course you will have leisure time to hang with friends at college but first and foremost your focus needs to remain on studies and working hard. Many college freshman have a tough time adjusting to the freedom and lack of structure they have at school. That is the time to decide how you want your daily life to go. There is no longer someone there to clean up after you, do your dishes or fold and put away your clothes. College is a time for personal growth and maturity and it is SO much fun. Yes, growing up and developing your own way of doing things is fun. You get to decide when to go to bed, but you also have to make sure you are awake for class. You get to watch what you want on TV and study when you like but don’t forget to be in class on time and make sure you have your work done before the deadlines. Mom and Dad are not going to be there to tell you what to do. They will not be sitting on top of you forcing you to study from 7-10 each night. The bottom line is you will make sacrifices temporarily to create that amazing future that you have been dreaming about all your life. Your friends will always be there via texts, email, Facebook, phone or even the old fashion hand written letter. Don’t sacrifice your future for a couple fun nights with friends. Graduating from high school and heading to college is the next chapter in most high school senior lives. In fact when you choose a college consider even if for a moment, choosing a college that no one else is going to. This will give you a chance to reinvent yourself and change the things you want about yourself. Maybe you want to start hanging with a different type of friends group, become more or less involved in school activities or sports. College is the place to rediscover yourself and write a new chapter. Remember the possibilities are endless and your life is your own so start living it the way you want.

What to Expect From a College Roommate College roommate selection has historically been a challenge for many. Everyone wants to live with the perfect person but unfortunately there is no such person. We are all individuals with different upbringings, likes and dislikes, daily habits, and lifestyles. After living a certain way our entire lives it only stands to reason there will be things that challenge two strangers to live in close quarters with each other for the first time with out introduction. Even people who know each other have found that living with their friend doesn't go as smoothly as they expected. We have listed below some common challenges new roommates face as well as suggestions for how to make life more manageable without a lot of drama. Roommates with different sleep schedules—Set some ground rules for the room during normal sleep times. Sometimes you will have to give a little to make life easier for both of you. Buying Sharing of food and supplies. Each roommate has a right to expect their personal items to be off limits. Sometimes roommates who enjoy the same food can arrange to shop together and split the costs. If this is not possible then the best solution is to use only what you buy. Respect the other persons belongings and it you do need to borrow something make sure you ask BEFORE you take and use it. This is only an fraction of various things roommates face their first year. Each college has a Campus Housing office with staff that is there to help you work through any unresolved differences as well as reassign to a different room if necessary. Just remember just that generally speaking the person that raises the complaint is the person that typically gets moved out of the room.

Questions to Ask When Choosing A College 1.) Does the school have the area of study you are looking for and is the program sufficient? If not, is there a similar major offered? 2.) Are the professors at the school renowned in their fields? Do they have doctorate degrees or books published? Do you care? 3.) How well does the school rank academically? Are you in a field where that matters at all? 4.) Is there a line of successful alumni from the school? Have you browsed through the college’s alumni magazine or checked the alumni section of the website? 5.) Does the college have big or small classes or both? Which do you prefer or think you’d prefer? 6.) Is the campus big or small? Can you reasonably walk from class to class in a decent length of time or would it be better to bike or bus? 7.) Are the professors kind or approachable? Have you checked some professor ratings on sites like ratemyprofessors.com or asked current students? 8.) Is the school within your price range or worth going into debt over? Are they offering you scholarships or grants if you go there? 9.) Is the campus visually pleasant and a place you’d be okay spending a good chunk of your time on?
10.) Is dorm life, as portrayed on a school’s website or seen during your campus visit, the experience you’re looking for? 11.) Is the location of the school somewhere that appeals to you? If you are unfamiliar with the college town, do some research to learn more. 12.) Is it a city that will have internships in your field or will you have to travel for that experience? 13.) Is it a social campus, a commuter campus or a quiet campus? Which do you prefer, and are you willing to compromise on this point?
14.) If you end up landing a great job in town be-
fore or right after graduating, would you be okay living there? Same question for if you get married or meet the love of your life. 15.) What’s the weather like there? Is there a lot of one kind of weather, like snow or rain, that you love or can’t stand? 16.) Has the school had significant price hikes from year to year, making it difficult to gauge how
much it’d cost to attend for four years? 17.) Are the students at the college happy? Have you researched that or asked around, perhaps by emailing current students? 18.) Does the school have any interesting electives you’d like to take, such as philosophy of film or yoga? 19.) Are there any infringing rules the school places on students even off campus, such as no drinking or smoking, that you’d inevitably rebel against or despise? 20.) Does the cost of living in the city sound reasonable for a college student? (Remember, unless you’re living off financial aid in the dorms, you’ll likely move off campus for most of your years there). 21.) Is the school a weekend trip’s distance away from home? Does it matter to you how far away from home it is? 18.) Do you have any friends or acquaintances attending the school or living in the city? Or does it sound more exciting to you to go knowing no-one? 22.) Is there a line of successful alumni from the school? Have you browsed through the college’s alumni magazine or checked the alumni section of the website? 23.) Is the school located within a reasonable day’s drive to other thriving cities? This could be a consideration if, during your junior and senior years, you can apply for internships and jobs there and be able to drive there and back within the same day for interviews. 24.) Is there a good scene for whatever niche group you’re part of, such as a Christian club on campus or a libertarian group? If not, how about in the city?
What’s Next After High School? It’s Summer of your Senior year and you are feeling the pressure of where you are going for college. You have not seen any college campuses yet because you are not even sure that is what you want to do with your life after graduation. You have taken the infamous ACT and SAT tests and all your scores came back with great results so now the family is pushing you to make a choice, pick a school. Senior pictures need to be done, your friends have all been accepted somewhere and you have not even sent in any applications for admission. It is time to start looking ahead at your future. After years of wanting to grow up faster and be an adult quicker, you reach high school graduation day. Remember wishing you could make your own decisions and do what you want to do instead of being told what to do? That day is here. Of course your family still has opinions and they are going to voice those opinions but ultimately the decision is yours. You have reached your first major fork in the road and its time to decide what direction you are doing to go. In one direction is the not so easy road to getting a job and working to pay your bills. You don’t have to continue attending classes everyday and you can mover out on your own and make all your own decisions. The pay you receive may not be near what you thought you would be making after graduation, but most employers like to have their management and senior employees have some experience. You can move onto another employer but you will find yourself back at the bottom of the todem pole as a newbie in training. Either way not going on to college is not as easy as you think. You will have to start paying bills for rent, water, gas, electric, garbage, phone, cable, car payment, car insurance, health insurance, groceries and anything else that may come up. Don’t forget about the social life you will wish you had after talking to your friends that went away to college and they are text and tweeting about the fun they are having at school. You start to wish you were with them because although working gives you independence, there is something missing. You are just not seeing a clear path to the future that includes your dreams coming true. That beautiful large home is not as easily attainable on your current part time job at the mall. The other hand choosing the other side of the fork presents another direction you can gives you a completely different vision. It may seem more difficult at first because you are still going to school and having to do homework and work hard. However, there are so many ways to approach the idea of college. You can go all in and attend a four year university from the start which should be chosen when you have at least some idea what you want to do. If you are tackling college without help from parents and family, then you may want to consider starting slowly at a community college and taking one or two classes at a time. This gives you an opportunity to take your generals and talk to others that are well into their majors that can give input on how their studies are going. Every person has to make their own choices as far as major, but it is always nice to hear from others how a particular field is to study. Once you decide which direction to go each path has adventures of its own to explore and enjoy. You never have to rush into a decision and there are always resources out there for you to refer to for information.
Difference Between Private and Public Schools When looking at colleges, there are so many things to consider but when it comes to the difference between private and public schools, it can be a little more challenging. Public schools have the advantages of state funding. Public Colleges and Universities often times have lower tuition costs to students and even a lower tuition for in state residents. In addition many states have reciprocity agreements with partnering states, giving the same in state tuition to students from reciprocal states. Admittance into in state colleges can sometimes prove a little easier than out of state colleges as well. One term you may here as you are looking at colleges is “flagship” college or university. “Flagship” university refers to a states largest public university. This will usually reflect the largest enrollment numbers which include in state and out of state resident students. Class sizes are rather large many times at public universities in comparison to smaller public colleges and private colleges as well. Private colleges and universities are usually funded solely through student tuition, endowments, and donations from alumni and friends. Private schools typically have lower enrollment as well as smaller class sizes. Usually students will find when comparing the two types of schools that the tuition costs for private school is higher than that of the public universities. Some might say that there is more personal attention given through the private schools however each individual school should be considered according to personal experience not hearsay of others. Students are essential to the success of any school and therefore colleges and universities work very hard to meet the needs of their students as best they can. Private schools you may find also are affiliated with a specific group or organization, for instance Catholic, Lutheran, Methodist, Christian or non denominational and many others. This does not mean they exclude non Catholics or non Lutherans, however many classes offered will center around that particular denomination and its belief system. Athletics in the private and public sector are for the most part treated the same way. There are two governing bodies that colleges and universities belong to each with their own separate regulations and qualifications. The NCAA and the NAIA determine eligibility of a students based on their own criteria, for instance NAIA incoming freshman must have minimum test scores in the SATs and ACTs testing. NCAA also requires minimum test scores as well as looking at GPAs and of course all athletes must have received a high school diploma. Both the NAIA and the NCAA have multiple divisions that determine what colleges play against each based on school size, number of sports offered at each school and several other factors. For students wanting to play a major sport such as football in college, they may want to consider a larger public university that will afford them the opportunities necessary to move on to a professional level. In short, each student has many things to consider when choosing between a public college or private school. Both have many benefits and should be considered in the selection process.

How To Get Your Education Paid For Fall As soon as possible after its Oct. 1 release, complete and submit your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®), at fafsa.gov, along with any other financial aid applications your chosen school(s) may require. You should submit your FAFSA® by the earliest financial aid deadline of the schools to which you are applying, usually by early February. Refer to the FAFSA: Applying for Aid section of this site as you go through the application process. After you submit the FAFSA, you should receive your Student Aid Report (SAR) within three days to three weeks. This document lists your answers to the questions on your FAFSA and gives you some basic information about your aid eligibility. Quickly make any necessary corrections and submit them to the FAFSA processor. If you haven’t done so already, register for and take the standardized tests required for college admission. Check with the colleges you are interested in to see what tests they require. Apply to the colleges you have chosen. Prepare your applications careful-
ly. Follow the instructions, and PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO DEADLINES!
Well before your college application deadlines, ask your counselor and teachers to submit the required documents (e.g., transcript, letters of recommendation) to the colleges to which you’re applying. Complete any last scholarship applications. Spring
Visit colleges that have invited you to enroll. Review your college acceptances and compare the colleges’ financial aid offers. Contact a school’s financial aid office if you have questions about the aid that school has offered you. In fact, getting to know your financial aid staff early is a good idea no matter what—they can tell you about deadlines, other aid for which you might wish to apply, and important paperwork you might need to submit. When you decide which school you want to attend, notify that school of your commitment and submit any required financial deposit. Many schools require this notification and deposit by May 1.

If you have difficulty paying a registration fee, ask your school counselor about getting the fee waived.
Parents To Do: Work with your child on filling out the FAFSA To Explore Make sure your child’s personal information is safe when he or she applies for financial aid. For tips, read Federal Student Aid and Identity Theft. Read IRS Publication 970, Tax Benefits for Education to see how you might benefit from federal income tax credits for education expenses. Understand the benefits of federal student loans. Help your child learn about the responsibilities involved in accepting a student loan by reviewing “What should I consider when taking out federal student loans?” with him or her. Look at communications from schools to which your child sent FAFSA information. If a school has offered you
