Cleveland State University Top Questions

There are almost an uncountable amount of things that I could say that I "got" out of my college experience and could claim it as valuable. I believe one of the most beneficial and personal things that I recieved was a familial sense. The college grants me a sense of stability and trust with its students and due to the trust and likability of nearly all attendants it is quite easy to consider Cleveland State University as an extended family. With that familial sense I have discovered that I am easily able to be myself more and to help others. It has calmed my innate anger and has replaced what once was hatred and pain with peace and happiness. There are more words to say about Cleveland State than I am allotted here, so I will end it by stating that I got peace of mind, tranquility, love and a second family. I value this new state of mind more than anything else and I am happy that it was CSU that granted me it.

It is the best college experience I have ever experienced. I visited to some college both in and out of cleveland, but Cleveland State University is nothing like the other colleges. The is smaller, yet it gives you every opportunity to make something out of yourself. This college wants you to engage and do something with your life. Cleveland State University has some of the best Alumni, faculty and staff memebers. It has delicious food, and some of the most beautifully designed dorms and buildings, including buildngs that just opened in the fall including a residence hall, student center, and a new College of Education and Nursing building across the street from the dorms , so that students wont be late to their classses. This is very diversed with so many countries represented here, and it has so many majors and minors to have , so you won't be left out. You can even create a major, if none of the majors or minors interest you. Cleveland State University is a very creative, and multi-cultured school and I'm glad to be a Viking.

I've always wanted to get a higher education. A lot of my friends from high school said that college isn't for everyone and I totally agree with that. But I always knew that I was going to attend college. My college experience really opened my eyes to see that high school and college have two totally different environments. When you're in high school, you have to go. But in college, you have more freedom to do whatever you want. If you decide not to go to class, you don't have to. It will mess you up because that is wasted money. But my college experience has been very valuable to me because I realized that I'm with the "big kids" now (so to speak). I'm not a little girl anymore, so I have to grow up and act like the woman that I've always wanted to be treated while I was still a girl. College is a very fun experience but if you're not careful, it can be your downfall.

Attending Cleveland State University gave me an opportunity to be myself and express my views and opinions without having fear of being judged. Cleveland State University was the first university I attended in the United States since I moved here from Russia five years ago. Great atmosphere, great professors, and diversity of students made my school experience unforgettable.

N/A I haven't attended college yet. But I'm looking forward to attending this fall!

During my time at Cleveland State Universty I have learned to manage my time well. Being a Division I golfer and having a job has helped in my time management; helping me in the future. This school is great to attend if you love small classes and want to commute to save a little bit of money. With there not being many on campus activities and/or people around to participate, this has also helped me focus on my school work. The education here is fantastic and the professors are great.

If I, perhaps, stumbled upon a time machine and met myself in High School, I would have to tell myself I short-changed my college life. I would tell me, that no matter how easy High School, was, College is a lot different. College takes self-motivation, which is hard to have when you're not being forced to do something. Someone has to WANT to go to College in order to succeed. I would also tell myself to be better prepared for classes, since professors don't tell you what you will need, and to always take notes! Note taking is essential in College. Lastly, I would tell myself to choose a College based on its academic rating, not on it's housing or social aspect. Choosing the right College is a decision only I can make, and I would remind myself of that.

I am a non-traditional student (40 yrs. old) and returned to school on a full-time basis in 2008. If I had the opportunity to go back and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would emphasize several themes as follow: -Challenge yourself by taking honor classes and joining scholastic clubs for exposure to people who value education and its benefits. -Immerse yourself in whatever it is that your are doing: Give 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} in everything you do. You only get back what you put it. -Embrace your friends and the happiness, memories and love they give you. -Listen to your parents, value their experience and consider their advice; afterall, they've been there and done it. -Ask for help if you need it; the worst question is the one not asked. -Respect and stay true to yourself. Never compromise your integrity or values. If someone asks you to do it, run the other way. -Treat your body kindly. Eat right and exercise. -Drinking, smoking and drugs are not cool. -Learn to love and appreciate others . -Volunteer-it brings more joy to your life than you can ever imagine.

If i was able to go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior i would tell myself to stop day dreaming and get a move on. Start exploring how college life would be. If you want a family and want to live in the future you need to start taking steps to preaparing for this life changing experience. As you would enter a new chapter of your life there will be UPS and DOWNS. Some days you will just want to lay back and give up and other days your making up for the work you did not do. You will meet many different types of people in college and some you may not like, some you can't understand, others may become best friends. It may take some time getting used to the change but never give up. Education allows you to have a greater knowledge which will allow you to acheive your dreams. In order to do that you must set priorities and stick with them until the end to make it to Graduation. Take advantage of what you are taught now because in college you will need it.

I would tell myself to take the first two years of classes and general education requirements needed to transfer where i want to go at a community college and then transfer to the college of my choosing. I would tell myself this especially now knowing the extent of the financial crisis that has hit the United States. I would also tell myself to prepare and study much more than I have been, I didn't realize what college was exactly till the end of the first year, time goes by so quick it is hard to stop for a moment and realize what you are doing. I would tell myself to breathe and relax for just a second to make sure that this is what i really wnated to do with my life and that the major and classes I have are the right ones for me. These are the grades and organizations that your future boss will look at and if you mess up now there is no way you can fix it. And as cliche' as it may sound i would tell myself to be all that i can be and maxamize my full potential.
