California Baptist University Top Questions

Young Alexa, Be wise about the courses that you choose to take. Just because you are taking a college class doesn't mean it will count towards the degree that you want to get. Use your resources, talk to the academic advisors and tell them what you plan to do. If you don't have a plan take the time to really think about what you enjoy and what you are good at, and also consider what is happening with the economy. You don't want to graduate from college and then not be able to get and job and start paying your loans back. Don't be embarrassed to ask questions! There is no such thing as a stupid question. Spend your time and your money wisely, there will come a time when even entry-level jobs are hard to come by so don't take your employment and your money for granted. And Finally, be thankful that you have been blessed with a good family that will always support you in whatever way they can. Not everyone gets a family like yours. Good Luck, An older, wiser Alexa

Emily, I know you tried college at nineteen and didn't like it and it was a scary experience. The foresite I have will help motavate you to remain in college and push through the fear. I know that you have only envisioned yourself as a stay-at-home mom, but what you don't know is that at age 35 your husband will have an affair and as a result of the affair, have a baby with the mistress that helps end your eleven year marriage. You will then find yourself a single mother of four sons living on welfare and food stamps struggling to have enough gasoline to go school four days a week. I know this looks and sounds hopeless, however now that you have this information, going to nursing school is one of the best things you can do for yourself confidence and your future sons to be independent and self-supporting woman.

Advice i would give would would be to take AP classes and not have it so easy senior year because that way you are not so shock with all the stress. Also, to get more involved on campus and lead clubs. Another thing would be spend your time filling out and searching for scholarships all the time. One more thing would be to not take for granted the free days that seem to appear daily in high school that almost never happen in college.

I am currently attending my first semester at Miami Dade College as an International Student. The first day I went there, I felt like I was home. The people were so welcoming and enthusiastic. My advisor, Sylvia helped me out to choose my classes and these are a perfect fit for me. In every class, the professors provide an excellent and pleasant ambience through their passion for their work, their support and their concern about students’ success. This environment makes us comfortable and eager to learn. The staff trusts, respects and encourages its students. They are always present for us. Miami Dade College gives me great opportunities for my development as a student which will be helpful later for my career. Another amazing fact about my college is the diversity of culture. The five continents are represented among staff and students. It perfectly corresponds to the image of Miami and to today’s Business World: A World of diversity and exchange. After six months at Miami Dade College, I feel a real change in my academic and personal life. That is why I am exited to extend this wonderful and valuable experience and encourage everyone to choose Miami Dade College.

It has been valuable for me to attend California Baptist University because I have learned numerous things in my classes, about myself, and about my religion. The atmosphere at California Baptist University encourages students to learn more about God and His plan for each one of us. Due to this atmosphere I have learned what it is that I am going to do with my life which if I had attended any other school I would not have found out about mu future plans and the opportunity for my life this career will open.

My college experience has been really great so far. It is definitely a lot of hard work, but it is also very rewarding.

My college experience has set me on a life long quest to continue learning. Learning from experts in my field of study was so valuable to me now working in the field. I also have made lifelong relationships to glean off of when I need expert advice. This experience taught me that goals can be reached no matter how long it seems to take. It has encouraged me to continue reaching towards that final goal of finishing my graduate degree and getting licensed in my field. Doing this will enable me to work and make an income doing what I love. There is no other preperation better than this.

For me, College has been a tremendous learning experience. Academically, I have studied philosophy, psychology, sociology, communications and writing. Socially, I have learned how to be part of a community, how to make friends for life, how to be patient, and how to love. I have read hundreds of books and attended thousands of lectures, but the single most important lesson I learned in college was not found in the library or the lecture Hall. The single greatest lesson I have gotten out of my college experience is that I can do anything I put my mind to. College has taught me to forget the word can’t. With the right attitude and with the right determination, I can pass any test, learn how to do any thing, and achieve any goal. This attitude has been by far the most important, valuable, and enduring thing I have taken from college. Without it, my life would not look the same.

My college experience was great because it helped me transition from being a kid to being an adult. It gave me a safe environment to grow and learn and really become who i was going to be from who I was.

Make the initiative to visit colleges and talk with counselors to see what's best for me to attend college once graduated from high school. Make sure that the major I pick is what I really want so I accomplish the degree that I desire. Prepare myself to get all the necessary documents and start filling out application for financial aid. I will just do the overall preparation of going to school and make that I have everything in order and continue to speak with counselors.
