Present school |
Major |
Was
there anything about the 3-1-3 program that you would want us to change? |
What
advice would you share with high school students thinking about
participating in 3-1-3? |
| Boston College | Elementary Education | Let students know more about credits not transferable. | Make sure your high school doesn't offer more AP's because it's more accepted universally accepted at schools. |
| Canisius College | English | the accessibility for students to return to the campus besides their classes--i.e.: extra curricular activities that create friendships and allow other 3-1-3 students to meet and get back together through the semester, also 3-1-3 study groups | Be aware that you may feel like you do not fit in both at high school and college. Its an excellent opportunity but can be very socially challenging. Good luck. :-) |
| JCC | Math/Science | ||
| RIT | Biomed Photographic Communications | Make sure the college you want to go to will accept SUNY credits and see how they count the high school classes. I was lucky, RIT accepted the SUNY credits and they took place of my gen ed classes there. And I got credit for the high school classes, though they didn't replace any RIT classes. | |
| RIT | New Media Design & Imaging | It would be nice if you told us at the beginning of sign-ups that it would be beneficial and that we were allowed to take 3+ classes each semester. | Be prepared to DEDICATE yourself, but it's worth it in the end. |
| St. Bonaventure University | Marketing | No | DO IT! Great start to college, makes freshman year. SO much easier. |
| SUNY Albany | Business Administration | The parking was a pain at times, but other than that the program was helpful and saved me money in the long-run. | Make sure you are willing to be distanced from your high school and make sure you keep track of what is going on at high school if you want to stay "in the loop". Also, go to your classes at college, , you can't pass if you don’t, especially with professors with attendance policies. Make sure the colllege you're going to will accept your credits from Fredonia. SUNY schools accept most, but I would think you'd have trouble if you're going to a private school. Ask ahead of time before you waste money. |
| SUNY Albany | Business Administration & Psychology | No | I think it is an excellent way to get a jump start on your future education and 313 helps you to prep for college; the work as well as life style. |
| SUNY Buffalo | Pre-pharmacy | There was no outstanding feature that I would recommend changing involving the 3-1-3 program. | I was ready for college earlier than most students who were seniors in my school. I would recommend that if anyone feels this way, they explore the option of 3-1-3. I enjoyed the experience and it made me much more comfortable and at home when I came to UB. |
| SUNY Fredonia | GraphicDesign | No | --make sure credits will transfer. --get the most information possible before making a choice whether or not to participate in the 3-1-3 program |
| SUNY Fredonia | Criminal Justice | No | DO IT!! |
| SUNY Fredonia | Psychology | No, I really enjoyed program. | I's a great program? It really helps prepare you for college and also makes the transfer from high school to college much easier. |
| SUNY Fredonia | Math Education | None | I would share that 3-1-3 program was an excellent "jump start." It helped me very much. |
| SUNY Fredonia | Accounting | Iwould strongly recommend the 3-1-3 program because it is a good experience being able to go to college before hs is done with. | |
| SUNY Fredonia | Advisement from the high school could have been better (Fredonia Central) | I would say research more about each class you are considering to make sure is is what you think it is, and make sure it is something that will count for CCCs and something you have never experienced before. | |
| SUNY Fredonia (will be transfering to SUNY Geneseo | Biology/Pre-med | No | Don't worry, no one knows you're in high school unless you act immature with your friends. Talk to your professors. They love it! |
| SUNY Geneseo | Psychology | I don't think the 3 assignments for self evaluation thru the year were necessary. | It’s a good transition to college. |
| SUNY Geneseo | I’s a great opportunity, especially if your school doesn't offer AP classes. It feels good when you get to college and can tell ur friends about how you've already taken college classes. | ||
| SUNY Geneseo | Music | Nope. | Do it, it is worth it. |
| SUNY Geneseo | Geology, Chemistry | No | Make sure that colleges you are looking at will accept the credits you earn. However, even if they don't, it is still very useful to have this experience. when you enter college. |
| University of Dayton | Marketing | Allow for financial aid to those who need it. | Definitely participate in 313. It is a good opportunity to get ahead in college. |
| Univsity at Buffalo | Aerospace/Mechanical Engineering | Although you may miss out on a few things going on in your high school, 313 is an experience that will help you adjust to your future at college. It’s a taste of freedom for those curious about what is beyond high school, and something you will never forget! | |
| West Virginia University | Athletic Training | Not really, I loved it! | I is one of the most beneficial experiences I've had in high school. I was able to register as a sophomore for 2nd semester and that made everything easier. My comfort level on my 1st day was very high. I felt much more prepared & ready for college. I would recommend it to every high school senior! |
| Westminster College | Broadcast Communication | More classes offered during afternoon for more of a choice. | Do what your friends are doing. |
