Admissions

This school has a lot of squirrels. If you are afraid of squirrels, look elsewhere. However, the buildings have alot of character and there are tons of computer labs! This really is a good school!

There are at least a hundred different clubs and organizations to join, so make sure you don't join to many at once. Don't overwhelm yourself your first semester: start out slow. Don't be afraid to contact your professors, or even a student tutor, if you need help: they are more than willing to assist you with any problem. If you have a question for a member of the faculty but can't contact them, Email them. The faculty check their email twice or more in one day.

Look for a school with a few majors you think you would enjoy. When you find schools with the academics you like, note the size and try to observe the people you will be around. The environment and the people are what make your college experience enjoyable.

Heidelberg is a very close knit kind of school, students leave their doors open, or just hang out in the halls. So don't be afraid to just come up and chat with people, you never know the kind of amazing people you might meet just by sitting down and joining a conversation. There is always time to have fun and get work done to, BEC and other groups on campus provide entertainment and social gatherings to help new students fin where they want to fit into campus. Take a chance and go see some comedian on campus, it is always a blast and all sorts of cool people will be there to hang out with.

Be clear on what you want to do. Since the campus is small and private, opportunities for the more obscure specialties are not necessarily available.

heidelberg has certain programs that are really excellent. if you decide to do one of them actually put the effort into it. it isn't high school you are working towards your future.

Visit this school look at their majors and minors, be active in all the things that Heidelberg has to offer! There are so many clubs and athletics that you can participate in, don't be shy talk to people and make friends!

Visit as many times as you can. Get a chance to talk with professors and especially students. I think when it comes down to deciding between two colleges, it is important to find out what student life is like out side of classes.
