College student survey, if your in college or graduated in the last 5 years Options

[synatribe]

I have a project due at the end of March and I need to take a survey of college students and do a research project to help me prepare for college, so if your in college or graduated within the last 5 years, please fill this quick survey for me? Thanks CB

What is your name:
Graduating year/ Graduated year:
School:
Junior? / State? / Private?:
Major?:
When you first found out that you were accepted, what made you the most anxious about college? Such as Dorm life, cost? etc.

How did your family deal with cost factors of room and board? what did you do to help?

As a college student, what should high school students prepare for? such as nightlife? etc

In your opinion are college professors more lenient or strict when coming to getting your work done?

Being that college students are the leaders in counterculture, what have you done to help out? as in joining a society, club etc?

Has your average GPA dropped significantly from High school or would you say that if you worked hard in high school, you're fine?

Did you take any AP classes in HS? If you did, which ones and have these AP classes helped you with your current Major?

When you first found out that you were accepted, what made you the most anxious about college? Such as Dorm life, cost? etc. I was too excited about being able to get out of Maryland to worry about such trifles as that.

How did your family deal with cost factors of room and board? what did you do to help? My dad paid for it out of his pension, I think. I helped by being qualified for a scholarship worth about half of my tuition.

As a college student, what should high school students prepare for? such as nightlife? etc Well, my experience was way different because I went to a school without a distinct campus. I didn't go out out much during my freshman year. The one thing high school students should prepare for is time management. The work load in college is way different than it is in high school, so you definitely need to learn how to plan out your time.

In your opinion are college professors more lenient or strict when coming to getting your work done? It all depends on the professor. In my experience, the more science-y, mathematic-y ones have been more strict on deadlines compared to the liberal arts/humanities professors. I was never afraid to ask for extensions because I'd rather turn something in a little late than turn in utter crap.

Being that college students are the leaders in counterculture, what have you done to help out? as in joining a society, club etc? Students are the leaders in counterculture? Seriously? I never joined any clubs or anything on campus.

Has your average GPA dropped significantly from High school or would you say that if you worked hard in high school, your fine? It didn't drop significantly. My GPA was higher in high school though, but that's because of weighted grades in AP classes, and the fact that the class load is different in college as compared to high school and you get more assignments, but I think my college GPA was a fair representation of my high school aptitude.

Did you take any AP classes in HS? If you did, which ones and have these AP classes helped you with your current Major?I took AP Bio, AP Spanish, AP English Lit and AP English Composition. Because of AP Spanish I got to skip a year of college Spanish. And since I was an English major, those two advanced English classes definitely helped out.
