I'm in 10th grade, what do you wish somebody told you when you were in 10th grade?

Being a high schooler, especially one with only 2 more years before graduation is difficult and stressful for many. What is some advice you would give your 10th grade self now, that maybe I could benefit from?

Should I go to a technical college before going to a four year college then to vet school?

Hi, I am a senior in high school and I'm interested in becoming a veterinarian, I will be going to vet school at Clemson, and a technical college that is close to home offers courses that transfer to Clemson. I talked with a vet and she said I should go to a four year college for undergrad instead of a technical college, because vet school is hard to get into and they may not accept me from a technical college. Is this true? I am not sure what to do because I cannot find another small four year college that offers classes that will transfer to Clemson.

What is the best approach to take towards a poorly taught course?

I am a graduate Electrical Engineering student and throughout my career as a student I found that there were a few classes that provided less than satisfactory learning experience and I've always felt unsure about how to approach such classes. I feel that I tend to be uncertain about who to talk to and whether I should voice my opinion at all about the class and how to do so. An expert advice would be beneficial on this topic. #professor #student #counseling #college-student #student-counseling #academic-advisor #student-affairs #student-engagement

Why do many students not complete undergraduate degree after 4 years?

Many schools show low percentage of 4 year graduation rates. Are these percentages for BS or BA degrees? Any why does it seem to take most student longer than 4 years to finish their undergrad degree? #academic-advisor

What is the best way to determine if your major is the best major for you?

I recently thought I found the perfect major and minor. I was really excited to finally go from undecided to declaring my current major/minor, Apparel Merchandising and Product Development/Marketing. I was glad to finally share my decision with family and friends, only to have them make me second doubt myself. #career #career-counseling #counselor #career-advice #academic-advisor #undecided

Would it be bad to get a bachelor's degree at a state college instead of a university?

I live about 20 minutes away from a state college that offers a bachelor's degree in Biology. That is what I plan to major in regardless of what school I to attend. I would rather go to a state college because I can live at home and I will save about 40,000 dollars, if I attend the state college nearby. Is this a good idea or should I go to a known university because it looks better on my resume? #counselor #academic-advisor #advising #advisory-boards

I'm concerned that because college will be more challenging academically than high school that I might have some trouble keeping my grades at a top level. How can I make the adjustment to college learning without stressing myself out?

I have always done well in school and pride myself on my working knowledge. I am concerned that my grades might suffer due to all the changes I will have to deal with being on my own for the first time. I'm sure many students have experienced this, and want to avoid it, if at all possible. #college #advice #academic-advising #guidance-counselor #academic-advisor
