Colorado State University-Fort Collins Top Questions

My college experience has allowed me to realize the amount of self dedication that is necessary to achieve a good education. By embracing my education despite the negative circumstances I've been able to learn much more than was provided by my institution, and as a result I am excited to return to school as a graduate student to further my education and engage in the community where I will be attending. I would like to participate in the community to develop connections between people, and solidify a like minded group of people so that we can evolve as a unit over time, somthing that was extremely lacking at my previous university. One person on their own can only accomplish so much, but with the help of others much more can be achieved than the sum of their parts.

I really feel that I have learned a lot from going to college at Colorado State. I feel like the classes they have for my major are appropriate and interactive. Since I am studying in the area of biology with an emphasis in genetics, the classes offered give me what I need to pursue that ambition. I really like the variety of people and cultures on campus as well, it helps to make a lot of different new friends and also to get involved in a lot of different activities to give me a break from studying once in a while. CSU is a great school for anyone who really wants to pursue a higher education.

I'm sure that the majority of the answers for this question submitted by applicants deal with an improved work ethic, a greater appreciation for the world of academia, and a newfound devotion to performing well-as college can very easily determine the majority of one's life. I, however, have developed a new sense of responsibility. Not responsibility in the sense of completing coursework, but responsibility in the sense of dealing with grown-up issues. I've dealt with numerous issues since being away from home, ranging from doing laundry on my own for the first time, to interviewing for undergraduate research positions and negotiating a lease with a net value of $22,000. I've consulted legal services to discuss housing, checked into medical facilities to receive treatment for an ailment, and participated in a $50,000 research experiment involving ideas for a new tuberculosis vaccine. I've also grown closer to my family, close to 1000 miles away from CSU. We talk much more often now and they have certainly helped me come into my own and begin living as an adult. I believe this bears more significance than all other experiences I've had.

I have made great friends and also have relized I am getting the best education anyone could get. The professors are great and have come to respect them more because they are here to help you .

I have learned numerous items toward my background in business and it has helped me become more out going and socialble.

I am in the Ace Plus program at my high school. When I found out about this program-taking classes while in high school-I was amazed. I was so excited to experience the real thing. I always want to be ahead and on track with everything. So this was a great opportunity for me to do that. I have taken two classes since I?ve started. I will be finish with about 24 credits at the end of my senior year. (Which is great!) I try so hard to get all A's and until now I have succeeded. I hope all this will pay in the end. I am hoping to be very successful in life.

As a freshmen, I was shy and introverted. While at Colorado State University I have expanded my social network, challenged myself academically, and allowed myself to be who I want to be. I joined Kappa Delta Sorority second semester of my freshmen year and it has been the greatest decision I have made since coming to college. My sorority has allowed me to speak out and become more social in my community. Kappa Delta challenges me to strive to be all that I can be and pushes me to go farther in life. College has been valuable to me because I am now prepared for the obstacles that are going to be thrown at me in the future and I now have the confidence that I will have a succeesful future.

Providing money for students who could not otherwise attend college is important for our economy to grow by creating new innovation, business, and jobs, and therefore encouraging the government?s interest in providing financial aid. Universities and colleges have an interest in providing student financial aid as well; attracting and attaining high performing students, regardless of their socioeconomic status, is a part of every education institutions fundamental mission. Top corporations provide financial aid assistance as part of their commitment to social responsibility, since the education of the top executives and principles behind the companies can be the primary driver of any firm?s success. I?m a direct recipient of financial aid and I?m very grateful for the contributions society has made to support me in my educational endeavors. I believe education to be the most effective counter to the unremitting poverty that destroys local communities all over the country. Providing widely available financial assistance to students is an investment in a countries future ? and I?ll be proud to make that prosperous future a reality in the years to come following my graduation.

My college experience has not been that of a typical fresheman. I do not drink or do drugs, and I have not attended a college party this year. My experiences in college have all been educational and CSU affiliated. I am a member of Collegiate Cattlewomen, and we work with other cattle enthuasiests across the state and country to spread agricultural knowledge to urban societies. I have made many friends doing this and the experience has opened many doors to me. I was also on the Wool Judging Team, and we travled to Texas to compete with other colleges in November 2009. Tuition rallys and consercation phone calls to senators have been part of my college experience as well. I am also excited to say that I am planning to study abroad through the oppertunities at CSU, which I believe is going to be the most influential experience of my college career.

What have I gotten out of my college experience so far would be the fact that I have learned a lot about myself. I am 42 years old and got my GED in 2004, never really expecting to even go to college. Although I have always been interested in web design ever since I worked at a internet company back in 2000. The experience I have gotten has been exciting and I can't wait until I can develop my 1st website. I already have a couple of company around town waiting until I finish so that I can improve on their websites, but that will not be my own. The work I have done you can't even imagine from the time that I had started until now. The improvements and learning more and more about the programs. This has been valuable to me attending because I was diagnosied with fibromyalgia a few months ago and I will not have to much physical work, more mental work making this even more valuble to me incase I am not able to drive to work, this work can be done from home. Making is very valuable to me and my family.
