College

“College just isn’t for me,” cries the helpless senior, “I don’t know where to go, I’m not smart enough, and I can’t afford it.”   Whether this statement is used as an excuse or it is sincerely believed is irrelevant.   There are more reasons now than ever which prove just how inviting college can be.   College is for everyone.


Students that are confused as of where to go should first check out the numerous websites devoted to aiding undergraduates in their search for the perfect college.   High school guidance counselors are also an excellent source of information.   They can give one literature and videos to take home so one can see what each college is like.   If a student would like more of a hand on approach, the student may set up a college day with a particular school.   This consists of touring the campus with an attending student.   They inform one of the campus life, courses, and extracurricular activities that students are able to participate.   In some instances, they allow visitors to stay overnight in one of the dorms.   This will give one a glimpse into what it would be like to attend that college.


Then there are the students that believe their lack of intelligence is permitting them from attending college.   Most colleges offer various methods that help curb the amount of failures and dropouts.   The college will offer remedial courses to students that are lacking in a subject.   These courses help prepare the students for the main course and teach at a slower pace.   In addition, many teachers offer tutorials.   Sometimes, students who are extremely gifted in a particular subject offer help.   The last incentive that most colleges offer is the syllabus.   This is a structured outline, given by the teacher, of the semester.   It gives the sections and areas that the class will be covering and test dates.   This will allow each student to prepare for tests ahead of time and finish homework prior to due dates.
