Florida State University Top Questions

Florida State has given me endless opportunities and the confidence to succeed. As a music therapy major, I am very involved in the college of music but I knew I wanted to become involved in other areas on campus as well. As a college student it is important to take advantage of the opportunities that you are given my your college. I was first given the opportunity to be in a sorority. Being in a sorority has helped me gain confidence and has also given me resources to build my career. Being at Florida State even enabled me to co-found a club on campus. The works on obraining resources in order to empower younger students in lower income leon county schools. The school has also allowed me to receive certificates including a certificate in International Humanitarian Law. The school has also given me a chance to study abroad which I will be participating in next summer. Like I said, the opportunities are endless and there is something exciting and beneficial for every single student on campus. Florida State University has given me everything and has shaped me into the person I have always dreamed of being.

Out of my college experience, I have gained a sense of who I am and where I want to go with my life. Thanks to the effort I put in my classes, along with the aid from my professors, I have found the greatest success in pursuing a degree in the Biological sciences. I have also developed my community and social skills as well, participating in the Outdoor Exploration Club and Phi Theta Kappa Honors Society at my college. Through these groups, I have made new friends and taken part in events that helped benefit the people in my college community. As I continue on to a four-year school for my Bachelor's Degree in Biology, I hope to continue to grow academically, socially, and personally into a prominent member of society.

College has been a lot of hard work. I have taken calculus, molecular biology, circuits, and I have found that learning by osmisis does not work. I have realized that it takes time and a lot of effort to become successful. When I graduated from high school at sixteen I was in no way prepared to act like an adult. Attending a junior college has helped me transition into adulthood and I am now capable of living without my parents' support. Being a full time student and working part time has given me a strong work ethic and the motivation to move on to greater achievements. My college experience has taught me that I am capable of acomplishing anything as long as I work hard and stay motivated. In college, no one makes you go to class or do your work. I have learned to be responsible for my actions and to appreciate what my parents have given me.

College has helped me to be more independent. The challenges from the work excite me to push myself. I love the fact that college is all about you. If a person fails its on them, not because of the teacher. The responsibility has really molded me into a completely different person than I was in high school. My view of the world has changed from my college experience and I hope that my view continues to grow throughout my life because of what I accomplished in my college career.

I have gained so much self-confidence and self-discipline from my time at Florida State University. It's my first real time away from home, and I've been able to get my first taste of my major and what I want to do with my life, I've lived on my own, learned to cooperate with roommates, and organized myself so that I'm getting pretty good grades. I've met people from all over the world, and found out that some new friends are from really close to my home. I've tried things that I had never heard of before, had new friends help me when I was having difficulties, and I've been able to help other friends with things that I excelled in. I'm looking forward to the rest of my college career... not only getting a degree from an internationally recognized school, but the entire experience. I'm very happy to attend FSU, and I'll always be glad to be a 'Nole.

My experience at the Florida State University has taught me more than what you can learn from a textbook or a professor. Because of the diverse student population, the rewarding research experiences, and the many opportunities to work at my full potential, FSU has pushed me to become something. That something is what is going to get me into medical school and onward. My experience at FSU has made me reach to the depths of my ambition in order to pull enough motivation and dedication to operate at my best in every aspect of my life as a Florida State University student. From my studies and work experience to my social life, I can function with the confidence that I am a well-rounded student and a positive asset to society. All of this, I can attribute to my experience at the Florida State University.

I have been able to learn personally and academically from some of the best and most impactful faculty while at school. These people, as well as some of my classmates, have not only given me academic knowledge, but also lifetime wisdom that I will be able to carry with me in my personal life. I have also been given the experience to learn and develop a lot about myself, such as communication with others, time management, and how to deal with successes and failures.

I am originally from a small suburb of Des Moines, Iowa and growing up, I knew I wanted to branch out and do great things. Ever since my junior year in high school I knew Florida was the place for me. Not only did the state offer everything I needed in terms of Marine Biology research and opportunity, it had some great schools as well. Attending Florida State University is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. It has opened doors I never imagined possible, for instance, I was one of fifteen students chosen for a Study Abroad trip to the Bahamas this summer! Not only do I get to spend three weeks tagging sharks, I get to encounter something that some people only dream of! I am so lucky to have a supportive family who was willing to help me pursue my dreams and most of all, I am so lucky in what FSU has provided for me: a great sorority where I can be involved in charity work and leadership, great classes and professors, and most of all, it's provided me with growth to become the person I could only dream of becoming.

Out of my whole college experience so far, I have gotten to mostly know about myself. Know who I am, where I stand, what I like and dislike. College is about learning , not only in the classroom, but your surroundings as well. You are exposed to a tremendous amount of new people everyday, where a lot of areas lack this cultural experience. I feel it has been valuable to attend because I am getting prepared for the 'real world'. I have responsibility and knowing who I am helps since everyone can get lost or sucked into bad situations easily.

Well i really dont have any college experience yet. I plan on attending Universal Technical Institute of Phoenix starting in June 2011. I do believe that college is very valuable and definatly something everyone should do. I say that because everyone wants to be successful now a days but most teens comming out of high school want nothing to do with college or anthing ressembling school. When i graduated in may of 2009 i was one of those teens, but i have come to realize without college it is very hard to become a successful person. Most businesses want people trained in there profession or someone that went to school specifically for that trade. For example, i am attending MMI ( motorcycle mechanics institute) a branch of UTI that specifically trains people on motorcycles,. If i were to go and apply right now at a dealership with very little experience it is very unlikely that i would get hired,
