Bellevue University Top Questions

I have learned what to look for in a college and what not to look for. I definitely won't send my kids to a school that takes more pride in their online courses rather than their on campus programs. I like the idea of having a smaller number class setting but I also think a bigger university is better to put on a resume. I feel the value of the degree is worth more when it is from a larger school rather than a smaller school. My time their was a good learning experience but left me with little to use after college and I am paying for it now as well as many others who have taken a path similar to mine. I made a few good friends in my time at Bellevue. I had an opportunity to become an Assistant to the Sports Information Director and he did everything he could to help me find a job. I worked a lot with all the sports teams and met a lot of good people. Thank you for consideration in my goal to help me further my education.

Being a non-traditional student, it was very important for me to return to school and earn my bachelor's degree. Being a mother of four, it was valuable that Bellevue had online degree programs. The quality of education I received from Bellevue enabled me to go on and earn my PHR certification on the first testing. My degree and my certification have provided me with the ability to obtain a better position. I am know looking forward to returning to Bellevue to earn my Masters degree online.

College has made me a more patient and thoughtful person and being educated I longer feel like I am no different than anyone else when it comes to applying for jobs. I have education and skill. I am able to use this to set myself apart and that makes me feel special and empowered.

I gained alot of knowledge in my college years. I have had the experience of being involved in extra-curricular activities while in college such as Student Government, Human Services Club, Environmental Club, Voices for Success Club and my own club,

Career counseling with the guidance counselor would be a benefit. Visit several colleges and choose one where you could spend four years in the environment. Apply for all scholarships and financial aid early. You are valued, you can do it and you are worth it.

Being a father at age 17 and going on to have 6 more children immediately following (6 girls 1 boy) by the time I was 23 I would only change the path of education and the slow progression to get myself education wise where I am today. I would express the importance of G.P.A and college choice. I would express the implications and importance of being accountable, mature, and graduating at a young age. Transition wise I was already a mature adult having 2 kids by the time I graduated high school and entered college my focus was different. As a high school senior I would emphasize the importance of getting stuff done and not percrastinate no matter how hard things may be. Encourage myself to work harder in school to achieve a higher education to help better my chances in competing in the job market and position myself in a field or major that I love and would always enjoy doing. If you love what you do its not really work.

When in high school, I already knew that going to college straight away was out of the question. First, I couldn't afford it, and secondly I knew that I did not have the motivation to hit the books for four more years. For that, four years of military service instilled the discipline. I am old enough when I recently enrolled that I wish I had taken typing courses (since computers are so prevalent in our society today) and a heavier math program. I would also have been an active participant in school sports.

I would advise myself to attend a 4 year college right after high school. I did not attend college when I graduated from high school. It is much more easy to attend college when you are the child attending and not the parent. When you are a child you do not have the same responsibilities as a 50 year old woman with a home, a job, and children. Do the college degree when you are young and can afford the versitility of youth.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior the biggest piece of advice I would give to myself would be to study harder and to try new things. If I could go back I would have definitely studied a lot more than just enough to get by. In college you really have to collect all the knowledge you possibly can. I would have read everything within my reach. Knowledge is the best tool and is such a great part of learning and growing as a person and as a professional in any career field you may choose. I also would have tried harder to find a career path that fit me. It has taken some time for me to realize what path to take. I truly wish I had given it more thought while attending high school. Trying new classes and clubs may have shed a little more light down that path. I definitely believe in trying new things and making the most out of it. Opening new doors can enrich life and help you succeed in all aspects.
