What does your college encourage you to be?

I am sure you'll hate my answer, but colleges are NOT career training institutes.  They are institutions for education, and college faculties aim to teach students to think critically, and to be well-rounded human beings.  Career training is to be found at vocational or technical schools.  \n\nIncreasingly, students have come to expect career training in undergraduate institutions, and universities have, in some respects, capitulated to these demands by creating business schools, schools of engineering, schools of education, and the like.\n\nBut from the first foundation of universities in medieval Europe, and through to the present day, post-secondary education at the university level always has been primarily centered upon the "school of arts and sciences," in which students are taught to think well (across several disciplines of study that are generally known as the liberal arts).\n\nFinancial success has never been the central aim of education.  That is the aim of business.  Education and business remain, despite the increasing commodification of education, two distinct enterprises.  As a matter of fact, in most any introductory philosophy course at a university, students learn that knowledge and virtue, NOT material prosperity, are the noblest aims. This is why EDUCATED human beings look to people like Aristotle, Lao-Tzu, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Jane Addams, Dorothy Day, and others like them, rather than to Bill Gates, Donald Trump, and others like them, for models of a life well-lived.\n\nBut you would have known all of this if you had studied philosophy, European history, American history, or even the history of education.  These things are taught at colleges and universities.  ;)

be sure to tell them what you've been doing the last couple of years, why you've come back to school, and what you want to do with this degree. they want students who are passionate about learning and will complete their degree.

Know who you are, what you have accomplished and why this university can offer you the best opportunity to achieve your goals.  Also, have a good idea of how you will contribute to the university's mission.  Have succinct, one sentence responses to questions that are articulate, polite and well-thought through.  Practice with friends and family asking you common questions about your academic experiences, your achievements, your knowledge, skills and abilities and work/volunteer experiences, if any.  Be relaxed and natural in your body language, but respectful and professional in your demeanor.  Good Luck!

self discipline. \n\nYou'll have plenty of opportunity for all kinds of extra curricular activities. However, for the most part, no one will be there to see that you do your assignments and get good sleep and exercise. So you need to have some discipline about managing your time and energy.\n\nWhat I've noticed from my nieces & nephews, too, is that much is to be gained by supporting your school sports/teams. You get a strong sense of "spirit" and belonging and being part of a group. There's a great deal of stress in college and your friends will be important. And some will be your friends for the rest of your life.\n\nCongratulations, Graduate! And All the Best!

This is a pretty big question. In terms of activities, definitely pursue what you enjoy; colleges want a diversity of students, they want people who are passionate about their activities, and they want people who are unique.\nIn terms of what you should be doing academically, I would suggest visiting good college admissions websites to get answers to that. The CollegeBoard is a good website (www.collegeboard.com) or also College Confidential. Here's an article about that: http://admitspit.wordpress.com/2006/11/07/other-sites-that-can-help/\nBy the way, I think it's fantastic that you're starting to deal with this so early; kudos!
