Florida Southern College Top Questions

I would tell myself to do duel enrollment so I would complete some general classes, and wouldn't have to pay so much. I would also advise myelf to apply more more scholarships so I would pay less on my tuition. I would also tell myself to buy more food, invest in headphones so I would study better, not to trust my roommate, and to be more cautious of the people that I talk to. I would tell myself that college is not scary and I have nothing to worry about because the workload is not that devastatingly heavy or incredibly hard.

If I could go back and be a high school senior all over again, I would make sure I focused on my studies a lot more. I part time dual enrolled in high school, but I wish I would have done full time. Being in college now, you realize how much of a burden money is, and that it is frustrating paying for classes that could have been either eliminated beforehand, or paid for by my school district. Sitting in class, and listening to lectures become very tedious, especially now as a freshman. I am stuck in common general education classes that remind me of high school classes, which I could have easily taken while participating in the Dual Enrollment program. I wish I had left high school having my Associates Degree done, so I could jump into my program at my college (elementary education) and be steps closer to becoming the teacher I aspire to be!

I would tell myself to start looking at different colleges sooner than your junior year. This way you have less stress when it comes down to making a choise. I would also try to have taken more advance classes soon in my high school career.

Hello self. I am here to tell you that you need to prepare for the financial part of college. Please go to auditions and apply for more scholarships! I know that you are not sure of what you want to do now, but look into education and using music to teach. Think of how blending the two could reach so many children. Also, apply to different colleges that are around the country and around the world, you have nothing to loose. However, even though it would be great to know these things before, I would not change them. The struggles with family, finances and other challenges have made me stronger and a better person. I know what I want to do and how I want to acheive them. So really self, I am saying thank you for the choices that you are going to make, because it is never too late and sometimes a grand pause can create quite an impact.

I have made some amazing friends and had some amazing expieriences. I have discovered that I would love to be an accountant and so far the classes I have taken have put me in the right direction to achieving my goals.

Even though I have only been in school for a year and a half, I have learned valuable people skills, how to cater to what the professor knows, instead of what you think you know, and how to make life long friends. I work for student life as an RA and get to meet all kinds of new people, and help make other people's college experience a good one. College isn't just about the classroom, but about the networking and people you get to meet, and all the experiences you'll learn from, and FSC offers so many different ways to get involved, either through internships, jobs, working with professors outside the classroom or helping the community. I know that I have made life long friends here, and gotten a good understanding of the "job world" just by attending classes and other campus activities and have a blast while doing it.

I have gotten education in a caring enviroment and have made new relationships that will last a life time. The education classes I attend here are the best in the country and this will be most vaulable when I decide to become a teacher in a low class school and need to motivate students to make something out of themselves and be the best person they can be because I believe every individual is important so I just need to learn the proper way to teach these students I will get in the future. I have received countless hours of fun hands on quality education that I don't think any other schools do that much. I wouldn't want to attend any other school because I have learned so much from this school and yet I still can learn so much more.

One of the most important things I have gotten out of my college experience so far is just having it be such a easy transition from high school. Meeting new people was very easy here I joined a fraternity when I got here and it really made meeting people a breeze. My vocal teacher and the other faculty within my school are very nice and they really do take a personal interest in you and your future, they do want you to succeed. They always make themselves available to you, even if you just want to chat.

My college experience has included hours of studying, living on my own for the first time, meeting two of my best friends in the entire world who have similar goals and world views as myself, and being completely responsible for everthing I do. My college experience has taught me freedom has limits in a world that challenges me to have a limitless imagination. However, that doesn't mean that my limitless imagination has to have limits in a world that appears to have limitless. If I can imagaine something, it can come true. This is the conclusion that I have come to in my short time at college.

So far I have gotten a taste of what the real world will be like. Through my college experience so far I have dealt with problems with my family, friends, and even with my school work. It has showed me what is to be expected and that high school is over and nothing comes easy, you have to work hard for what you want. Going to college is the best decision I made because it showed me that I am not ready to go out in the world on my own yet, and that there is still so much for me to learn and so much more I can accomplish.
