Albright College Top Questions

Be more focused and be more alert towards scholarships and wished I had been given more information about certain scolarships.

Study Calculus, and make sure you focus on homework. Also get a get a french tutor.

If I could go back in time to the 12th grade me, the advice I would give myself is to ask for help. Throughout my 11th and 12th grade year my mother had two surguries. I allowed my grades to fall so I could take care of her. I was tired all the time and did not complete the homework that was given to me and I never asked for help. I thought I could do it all, but I could not. My sister was home from college, but she was not much help. I knew if I had the help I could finish high school strong and maybe get a full ride to college, but that is not what happened. So 12th grade me should ask for help, stop procrastinating, and finish high school strong.

My senior year of high school followed some extremely stressfull early years, and was the easiest, most exciting year of school for me. But if I could give myself some advice it would be this - a couple months ago I saw a post online about some of my all-time favorite superheroes. If they can battle depression, survive a suicide attempt, grow up abused, and still save the world, so can you. Growing up, you survived some of the worst experiences a child could go through. And now look at you, you made it. Going to college witth your mental health situation is going to wear you down. You're going to want to start old, dangerous habits. You're going to want to drop out. Don't. Trying to go back will be a lot harder. So please, talk to your friends, talk to your grandma, she understands. Then get professional help. It's time to be your own superhero.

To look into other olleges better, and to make sure the thing I told my self was really what I wanted to do with my career/life.

The best advice I can give my high school self, or any student, is to make sure you participate in as many internships as possible. You may learn a lot in the courses you take but you will learn so much about the career you are going to enter. You will learn whether or not that career is the career to which you wish to dedicate your energy. And in some cases you may discover a lot about yourself along the way. Also when you get that first syllabi, try your hardest not to panic, it may seem like a lot of work but the professors know what they are doing; and you will become accustom to the work load. Make sure you use the resources that are available to you because they are fantastic. Do your best and try not to stress because in the end you will do great!

Kaitlin, bad news is going to come your way: you are not going to be able to attend your dream art school. But, DO NOT PANIC! You are going to Albright College, and you should give it a chance; look at it with fresh eyes., Yes it is a small school, but that means more close friends and more attention from professors. Yes, it is in a suburban setting, but that gives you more time to focus on the beauty of nature. No, it does not specialize in art, but you will be receiving an education that includes more than just art (you will discover that you really enjoy Spanish!). You will learn things you never thought would interest you, but they will, and they will help you in the long run, because you will not just be sketching all day. You will be discovering new talents and passions, and they will take you further than you ever imagined.

I have learned a lot academically as well as about myself

I have yet to go to college. I have recently enrolled and can not explain how excited I am to be going back. I have always wanted to be in the medical field, changed my mind plenty of times, but recently I came to the conclusion that being in the medical field is what I am supposed to do in life. I will get so much of going back to school. I chose Keiser Career College because I feel I will get the best education possible want to help others, free them of pain. It will be valuable to attend because I will gain the knowledge and experience through a 3 month externship. Aftr school I want to work with kids and change thier lives for the better. Choosing the Surgical Technology program at KCC I will constantly be learning new advancements in medicine while in school, afterwards and through out my career. I can't wait for my new life to start!

Through my experience at Albright I have gained confidence and understanding. I attended Albright's Bethlehem Campus and graduated from Albright's accelerated degree program with my BA in Applied Psychology and Organizational Behavior. I spent two years with an amazing cohort and I would not trade this educational experience for another. I was the youngest member of my adult cohort which consisted of all women, strong women. From this experience I gained a few mothers and big sisters. We encouraged and pushed eachother to succeed, and every member of our cohort graduated together, proud of our accomplishments. Many of us were working full-time and had families to take care of, but that did not stop us from putting together endless group projects and research papers. In my two years at Albright I learned a great deal about myself and about the human mind, behavior, and interaction. I feel that I better understand the world of psychology, the ethics involved, the challenges and rewards, the endless research, and the wonder and joy of discovering the intricate workings of human nature. I believe my time at Albright was well spent, I feel I have gained a family and an education.

Definitely great friends and knowledge!

College experience is not viewed the same on a job resumé as it was fifteen or twenty years ago. Today, when applying for a job, college experience is a must. Thus far, I have attended Johnson County Community College in Overland Park, KS. Needless to say, the transfer from high school to college was a blast. I have met plenty of wonderful students and teachers and have established multiple friendships. On top of that, the education I have received is phenomenal. I am now ready for a university experience but need a few extra bucks to attend. I intend to lock down my future in a business major and some day take control of my life by taking control of a major organization. Business management is the way to go. I cannot even begin to stress enough how important a degree is for me.

The last year has been an incredible ride for me. I have undergone many good changes since I graduated high school and I have Albright College to thank for that. During my freshman year at Albright, not only did I live in a dorm and attend classes but I have made lifelong friends and blossomed into a person I never thought I would become. Most of all, Albright has given me the opportunity to attend and become an official Albrightian. In my opinion, this is the most rewarding thing because I have been giving a chance to make a difference and work with some of the most amazing people that I have ever met. I have been given the opportunity to succeed and reach for the stars.

There are many factors that have affected my life, college being one of them. There are many reasons why obtaining a college degree has such a strong influence on my life. A college education can open doors to a better, brighter future for myself. People that have attained a college degree are hired in at a higher pay and are considered to be much more employable. My grandfather served in wwII and lived through the Great Depression. I want to be able to make his efforts count by obtaining an education. I think a college graduate would be more likely to be offered employment than another who did not attend college or did not attain a degree. My college experience so far has been enjoyable, and I have grown from it. The expense, however, his a large burden on my parents, and now on myself as well.

As a freshman in college, this year has been more life-changing that I could have ever imagined. I am in the process of transferring colleges, but I value and am so grateful for this year at all. After graduating high school, I was immature and not really ready to go away from home. I chose Albright College because it was a small campus near my home. I have become so confident in myself both socially and academically. First semester I acheived a 4.0 and was invited into the college's honors program. Graduating high school, I never would have thought that would happen! However, being on my own I have learned important skills such as time management and self confidence.

I would tell myself not to stress over the transition so much. College is very similar to high school in terms of the work load. Making friends in college is not very hard and the people are all working toward graduation, so they are all motivated. Instead of worrying about how difficult new classes will be, get excited about the opportunity to learn things which interest you. You and your friends will not grow apart--the internet will keep you togther. Although you do not want to call your parents all the time, make sure that you keep in touch with them. They will take it personally if you do not make time for them at least once in a while. Remember to call your grandparents and aunts, too. Keep your head up and you will adjust to dorm life very easily. Stay positive and think of college as a new beginning instead of an ending.

The main thing that I would tell myself is that I need to find an education that works for me, not one that is just there to earn me money. Thinking back I have no idea as to why I wanted to become a doctor when I hate science, so I would have tried and talked myself out of going for the money and into finding something that I enjoying doing. I would talk bout how important it is to want an education in something that is for you and not because someone or something says otherwise. Also I would have tried to get myself into a better study habit as the one I have now does not seem to be working for me. But the main thing that I would tell myself is that you have to be true to yourself and do what makes yourself happy not others.

If I could go back in time and give myself advice first I would say: do not procrastinate, try to stay focused because college is a lot faster paced. No one is there to hold your hand so you have to be responsible for yourself. I would also advise myself to be open minded. There are a lot of different types of people at college ,unlike high school everyone isn?t similar. Being open to different opinions and ways of life can only make you a better person.

Honestly, I feel that by the time senior year of high school came, I was already fairly well adjusted to the idea of what college life would entail. Aside from having a tendency to be a perfectionist, I think I knew how to manage my time and accomplish the goals I set. I had already made it through the most trying part of my adolescence, so the transition from high school to college was not that challenging. If I could really choose to revist myself, I wish I could see me at fifteen. I wish I could tell frightened, insecure me that the world is not infinitely big, and that I am not just another lost soul in a morass of others. I wish I could tell her that it was going to be okay, and that one day, she would be the kind of person she wished she knew when she needed help the most. I wish she knew that one day, she was going to work with other young women, who had similarly difficult girlhoods, in college. I wish she had the hope for a better future that I have now that I am older.

Looking back at my high school years, I think how simple and somewhat effortless it seemed. The classes did not move at a rapid pace, more of a calm routine. Now being a college student, I am learning just how many hours are needed to fully succeed as a Biology major, or any major for that matter. The tests and projects in high school did not seem to require a lot of energy, whereas, the tests in college can be on any small area of what has been covered in class at any point. This may seem like an obvious answer to this question because obviously he workload is increased; however, I did not truly believe that it would actually be that different. The truth is college is extremely effecting your future and what your potential job will be in life. I went into college with the same attitude as high school, where I did not think studying was as necessary as it truly is to succeed.
