Good questions for college.
17/F
Hey y'all. Well, let me give you some background information. I recently got accepted into Cal State Long Beach in CA. And I got into their EOP program. For you people who don't know what EOP is it's: Each EOP student is assigned to a counselor who is a guide through the ins and outs of academic life. EOP can refer you to the University Learning Center (ULC) for tutoring. The ULC employs a staff of student tutors in every major subject area to help you improve your performance in class. The University Learning Center sponsors a variety of seminars and workshops to help you learn how best to learn. Sessions cover such topics as test taking, note taking, time management, goal setting, computer use and software, career planning, and other helpful topics. Professional counselors and graduate student advisors are available to assess and evaluate your academic and personal needs. Counseling staff will treat you as an individual, taking into account your physical, economic, social, and cultural environment.
So, one of the requirements is to have a face-to-face meeting with your counselor. It has to be a one hour meeting in which I have to ask her questions.
Does anyone have any ideas to what I can ask her?
Here are some examples:
- How do I choose classes?
- Do I qualify for Financial Aid?
- How long will it take for me to graduate?
- What classes should I be taking for a psychology major?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Work/School Relationships?
First off, congratulations for getting accepted.
Other things that I thought might be useful:
- What if you decide to change classes or your major? Is there a way of doing that or are you locked in?
- How do you contact your counselor?
- What's the first step to take if you start to feel overwhelmed?
- What is expected of you academically during your first semester/ year? Grade boundaries, deadlines, etc?
I'd also ask some questions that don't relate directly to academia, for example, where your accommodation will be/ what to do if you don't like your roommate etc. You probably know a lot of this stuff already but I found that the non studying side of uni could be just as stressful as the academic side! If this sort of thing isn't in your counselor's job description, they'll be able to recommend who to talk to.
Hope that helps, peace.
