Charleston Southern University Top Questions

The real question is what haven't I gotten out of my experience at this school. Since attending CSU in the fall of 2009 I've not only become engaged, and made wonderful life long friends but I've found my relationship with Christ. I applied to this school in hopes that I would be surrounding myself with others who wanted the same things. Much to my surprise, God was everywhere on that campus I just had to make sure I was looking for him. The church took me in, sent me on a mission trip, and has loved me since day one. Not to mention that I've gone from once being in special ed classes where I focused on my ability to read to now making deans list twice in a row! I'm a very blessed girl and I thank all the people at that school who accepted me and stood by me.

i have attained many social skills from school and it has been a valuable experience because its an investment

My college experience has helped me grow both academically and socially. Being in college has helped me become more independant and motivated and I have learned how to study efficiently and manage my time better than I ever have before. Also, I have learned that i have to work to achieve what I want in life. College is all about independancy and being driven to aquire success and I believe that it is important for someone to really want a career if he/she chooses to be in college. I have found value in attending college because it has enriched my life with higher knowledge and the ability to reason better. College has helped me realize faults in myself that needed to be corrected and also encouraged me to pursue my career path further than i had intended.

I have discovered that I must not make decisions so quickly. I was attracted to Charleston Southern only because of the location, but being farther away from home, I have realized what is most valuable to me and I now strive to attain that sense of peace and sensibility here. I now know what matters most to me.

so far ive gotten new friends a whole lot smarter and new learning techniques

Attending college has given me the focus and knowledge that I needed to further my career opportunities and exposed me to new intrests and forms of socialization. I have met new and interesting contacts in several career fields that are able to provide valuable insight for future goals.

If I could go back in time and appear to lecture myself during senior year, I will explain all the main issues. Referring to college location, landscape, activities, classes, professors, cost of books and most of all tuition. I would acknowledge that I should do more research before attending any college , also make notice of all tuiton rates. Another that must be said, never make a quick last minute decision because the college of your choice did not reach you soon enough but eventually will. To avoid paying a lot or any for college you must apply for grants and scholarships. Last but not least, once you get there take school seriously, don't play around, study and complete all assignments.

High school was a very fun experience but there are a few things I would change if I could go back in time. I would have worked harder my junior year to make honor roll, so I could have more options for college. I would have also been more involved with student activities. For example, I would have chosen to be in the Senior Women club and ran for student counsel. Since it was my senior year my attendance could have been better and If I would have focused on that I would have made it into the National Honor Society. Although I made mistakes in high school, my college career is going much better. Looking at where I stand now in college, I would tell myself to be more motivated to pass my AP exams and to be involved with different clubs and student counsel. I would also tell myself to study more and work harder to make honor roll.

Go to school ASAP and stay in school until you finish. I would also say don't take a break because it sets you back. I would say get a summer job and save as much money as possible because you will need it. Also I would say take as many college courses offered at my highschool or that or available to high school student throughout the communtiy as possible. I would say keep taking the SAT's and do as well as humanly possible! There is always room for improvement.

Advice I would give to myself is to choose carefully and pay attention to details. Choose your major wisely because it is a waste of time and money to change your major half way through your first year or so. Read the small print and long paragraphs completely to make sure you understand what is require of you to graduate and be able to apply to that program. Also develop some nice time management and study skills, such as reading ahead, completing assignments early, and making note cards. And lastly be ready to work hard and stay focus to make good grades to stay in your program/major.
