It’s great that you mentioned that it is a good idea to meet with an academic advisor every semester while in college so that you don’t miss any courses. My son is trying to pick out a private university that has the mechanical engineering degree he wants. Talking to an advisor before committing to a school seems like a good way for my son to know what kind of courses he needs.

In reply to Talia Caswell. Hi Talia, If you are still in high school, you should definitely reach out to your college counselor to discuss your goals and interests. They should be able to provide details on colleges that offer different art programs. You can also reach out directly to a few colleges that offer the majors you are interested in to get more information and even visit campus to see the classes, talk with professors, or even connect with other students in your major. Best of luck!

I’m a sophomore at Cleveland Central High school and I still don’t know what college I want but I know I want to study modeling like fashion when I graduate.

I hope that I will be among these 38% that do it. I know that there are different reasons and circumstances why students do not finish college or it takes longer than 4 years.
Thank you! These tips will be useful to me!

In reply to Stephanie. This is true Stephanie. Class sizes can cause issues for taking the class you want. Especially if it is full, and you have to wait to take the class another semester, plus if it is a prerequisite for another class, it can cause some headaches!

Sometimes getting to know professors before you take a class can give you a advantage. I’m not sure about other places, but in my school if the class is technically full, you can appeal and still be placed in the course- with the instructor’s permission. Since previous encounters with the professor show that you’re interested you have a better chance of getting through the door.
Of course, I am saying this as a student from a small private school (Which I have to say was my last resort and worth it because I might be able to graduate a semester early AND study abroad), so I am not sure how effective this would be in a larger institution.
