Drexel University Top Questions

I have gotten a general understanding of how the gaming industry works and have decided that i would like to be able to further my education to make my skills more marketable. I have also discovered that the gaming industry is the perfect industry for me as it is a program of study that seems less like work and more like fun or a hobby. I have also learned that utilizing an online degree program is the best option for me since I work full-time. That enables me to be able to attend class when it is convenient for me and still be successful. I have also been able to network with possible industry contacts that could help me to break into the industry. That in and of itself is an invaluable experience that I can take with me and use when I finally graduate.

I will begin my college experience in January 2011, but I believe that what I'm about to start will be life-changing. I plan on giving my "all" while in school, and I will not fail. While attending classes, I will also be working as a store mananger and volunteering for a non-profit organization that goes into juvenile prisons. My goal in life is to reach as many people as I possibly can. With God's help, I will.

I have had great experiences with my instructors. They have a willingness to help students who have troubles with certain areas in the class. My confidence has also grown each quarter and I feel more independent. The classmate relationships are a great help because when you need help and the instructor is not available you can always ask a classmate.

Thus far, I have experienced the essence of hard work and dedication. Drexel will let you know (in a heartbeat) that their coursework is intense. Before I came to this school, I had a terrible habit of completing my work at the last minute. Nevertheless, this institution has made me realize that work comes first, and parties come much later. Moreover, Drexel has taught me the importance of "getting involved" with campus activities, and breaking out of my comfort zone. I participate in a religious organization that is entitled, Campus Crusade for Christ; it is amazing! I love sharing the gospel to other members on campus and inviting to the events that have. Furthermore, Drexel has molded me into an economical individual. For example, instead of spending money like crazy after receiving my paycheck, I save it for a rainy day (i.e. phone bills, medicine, etc.)

So far, I've made friends with people who I never would hh ave met had I chosen a different university. I love my classes, and all the professors are fantasticl. I'm proud to be a Drexel Dragon!

My college experience so far has taught me to be independent. I am glad that I choose to live on campus. I enjoy being near the city of Philadelphia. It has so much to offer in history, culture, diversity and night life. I choose to go to Drexel because of the co-op program. Hopefully I will be starting my co-op experience in the spring. I felt that this would be a great advantage to get job experience in the field of journalisim since the job market is very competitive today. I have made some great friends that I hope will be part of my life for years to come. I like being responsible for myself and living on campus has taught me that. Luckily when I feel homesick I can hop on Amtrak and go home and visit with my family.

Not only have I gotten an education from my college experience, but i've learned more about myself in the process. Who I am, who I want to be and what my interests and real passions are.

I have learned valuable life lessons that I believe will be vital to success in the future. I have learned how to adapt to new situations effortlessly. I have also learned how to best manage my time and prioritize. I have learned how to be more outgoing, and confident in my own skin. I have learned how to be self sufficient and provide completely for myself, as well as how to take responsibility and repurcussions for my mistakes. I believe all of the above lessons learned will help me greatly to be successful in the future when I am out on my own in the real world. I also believe I will be able to pass these lessons on to my younger siblings and children to positively impact their life as well.

The most valuable experience that I received from attending Drexel University is the education. Like I have been saying, the education is the latest and most updated because the teachers exactly work in the fields that the students are studying and not teachers that were working in the field. They are hands on and will help the students as much as they can to get the students to understand and retain the knowledge, so that they can move to the next level and broaden their minds to explore options that only the students minds can to go. Education is very valuable to me and Drexel University is given the attention that I need, especially that fact that the teachers allow you to contact them outside of class through email, phone calls, and invitations to their offices to seek the help that I need. Drexel University is the best.

While attending college I have experienced many things. You learn valuable lessons while obtaining a terrific education that will allow you to live the life you want and have the things you desire. You meet new people and learn how different each of your lives may be, culturally and yet are still able to relate to one another. You make life long friends who become your college family and experience life on your own. College is a valuable part in anyone's life because it helps mold and transforms you into the person you've set out to be. You fullfill lifelong goals and make a better living for not only yourself but whoever else may join you as a family. On top of everything, it genuinely makes you, you.

I have learned the meaning of the words patience and persistence from my college experience. By attending college I learned that no one can instantly be good at something and that everything requires time and practice. Having learned this principle after spending countless hours studying and going to class I can apply it to other aspects of my life. I didn't think that I would ever complete a 26.2 mile marathon, but after learning that everything takes time and practice I was able to finish not one, but two. My philosophy courses were also enlightening and everyday was filled with new ideas that I had never even thought about. Thanks to those philosophy classes my outlook on life has changed and I'm more relaxed andhave taught me to analyze my beliefs in an objective manner. Taking logic courses have also helped me tremendously especially when it comes to making important decisions, such as voting for new laws and presidents. Attending college has been immensely valuable for me to attend because it allows me to understand the world and people around me with much more clarity than when I was a young child.

My college education will prepare me for a future in the engineering industry. Drexel stresses not only the academics, but also the experiential learning through co-op. I will graduate with 1.5 years of work experience and have excellent career opportunities.

I have an associates degree in bibllical studies. This was one of the most life changing experiences I have gone through. I have grown so much as a follower of Christ, and I have now completely submitted my life to serving Him. I feel prepared to go overseas and share Christ with others, who do not know Him. I feel prepated for cross cultural ministry. I am currently working in that field now, but feel that with furthering my education and getting a degree in health would better suite me for entering another country and being able to provide service where it is most needed. I know that the Lord has called me to be in missions and whether or not I do get a scholarship from this entry or not I know that God will lead me to who will. I have put all of my faith in Him and He will not fail. I thank you all for what you do, and for listening to the cry of my heart. Take care and God Bless! Untill all have heard!

I have attended college since I finished my sophomore year in high school and it has given me great things in life. I graduated with 40 college hours and now I am considered a sophomore in college! I think that it is very valuable to attend college because it affects the rest of your life. There are people with bachelor degrees and still cannot get a job. That is sad and I do not want to be like the millions of people in this world that did not attend college. I would like to be given a challenge and make something of myself. I am pretty good at that actually! I do not back down to much. I look foward to college and to taking as many hours as I can to earn my degree. I have always said that I want to be a teacher like my mom and I have set a goal for myself that I will do it before I turn 21! (As of right now I am 18 and about to be 19 in a few months!) Thank you.

I am currently in my second semester of the RN program. When I take a minute to reflect on my college experience so far, many things come to mind, but most importantly a feeling of gratitude. My college experience has allowed me to gain a vast amount of knowledge, but also learn what dedication, perseverance, patience, and passion is about. It has been a valuable experience for many reasons, but above all, it has put the value of knowlege into perspective for me. Knowledge, unlike most other things we will aquire through out our lives, can never be taken away from us. As I reflect back on this past year and the many challenges and changes I have faced in my life, I often find myself having feelings of gratitude towards my educational experience. Going to college will better my future, make me a stronger more dedicated person, and give me a knowledge that I will only be able to further expand upon. This makes my college experience a priceless asset to my life.

I have not attended college yet, but I hope to gain friends that will last a lifetime, experiences that I will never forget, a degree in which I will use daily in my job, and a new life for me.

I've learned who I am, what I want, and where I want to be. I've learned how to be a responsible adult, how to hold down a job, and how to juggle finances.

Since I have just entered the college world my eyes are wide open. My experiences so far have been one of learning independence, responsibility, the proper methodology of learning and how socialize among various cultures.

Through my multiple college experiences I have learned that each day is a journey, not a destination and that anything is possible. After previously attending a four-year university and a community college I found a great school, Cascadia Community College in Bothell, Washington. Cascadia helped me find my path, different from where I thought I was going, and have now been accepted by some of the best schools in the country: American University, Columbia University, and the University of Connecticut. I was high school student with great potential and mediocre grades. Now I am an adult with goals and the desire to achieve them. College has allowed me the time to look into my soul, answer questions, and battle old demons. This would have been impossible if I remained in my old job, working 40+ hours per week. I put even more effort into my activities at school than I did at work; yet this will benefit me with the long-term happiness and contentment only a college education can give me.

It has been a sense of accomplishment and personal pride. I know that I am setting myself up for success and paving the way for a bright and amazing career. It has helped instill more confidence in my ability to task-orient and to achieve a set goal. I am learning new ways to perfect my leadership skills from my experiences with being the Student Government Vice-President. I have met life-long friends that will remain a part of my network and future endevours. I think the most gainful benefit of school will be the satisfaction in knowing I can accomplish anything I set my mind on if I can do this. I thrive on the challenges of education and knowledge. Drexel has provided me with both. I look forward to the future challenges and opportunities I face in my pursuit of my goal.
