Florida State University Top Questions

FSU has opened my eyes to the wealth of opportunity available to me. Before enrolling here, I was under the impression that prestigious awards and fellowships were exclusive to Ivy Leage institutions, which is simply not true. Here, my school makes you realize that it is very possible to earn awards and distinctions by making the most out of our academics and resources like the Career Center or our Office of National Fellowships. Also, had not been for their CARE Summer Bridge Program, I would not have been admitted. Designed to assist low-income, first generation college students, CARE taught me how to manage my time, talk to my professors, where to look for additional financial aid, etc. Nevertheless, FSU has also helped me feel at home. Even among 40,000 people, I've found my niche. You don't realize how large your school really is until you look at a campus map or are a poor soul scheduled with back to back classes.

From my college experience I have learned to better communicate and socialize with people of different cultures, religions, and/or ethniities. I have learned how to network in order to help make a bigger influence on my community alongside other organizations and coorporations. The biggest impact I've made is by joining the Best Buddies chapter here at FSU. Best Buddies is an international, non-profit organization dedicated to bettering the lives of people with intellectual disabilities. From working with my counterparts I have learned that as a society we shouldn't look at people through their disabilities, but for their abilities.

Not only have I met many great people, but I have learned so much more than I ever did in high school. Although people always say that they hate college classes because they usually have 100 or more students in each class, you can always get extra help with the teacher. Also, I find that college is a great expirence because you feel a connection with everyone. You can look around your class and know that everyone went through the same things you did to get into the school, and that they care just as much as you about their education. When someone cares so much about their education it helps learning be an easier task. I feel that since I'm paying so much for each of my classes, that I'm more attentive. I know that the next three years of college will be worth every penny because I have already learned so much in just one. College is definetly worth the price!

Out of my college experience, I have learned that it is important to give back. The Florida State University is all about giving back to the community, students, and faculty. I have realized that as someone has allowed me the chance to gain a higher eductaion, I should be prepared to do the same, to give someone else a chance. I've learned not to judge people, to accept them for who they are, or move along. I've grown in maturity, i take life and all of it's opportunities more serious than in the past. being at Florida State has allowed me to look past myself, and to step into somone else's self. I am a more greatful person, a more understanding, empathetic and sympathetic person. I am more in tune with myself and the people around me, because of my college experience.

College has been a wonderful learning experience for me. It has taught me how to work well with people I had never met, how to successfully manage my time, and it taught me what I really enjoyed doing with my time. Had I not attended college I may have never discovered how much I do love to work with people and get to know them. Continuing on in my college education is important because I will be the first member of my family to graduate with a bachelors degree. I know having a degree will not only make my family extremely proud but I will know I have achieved something great.

My college experience at Lon Morris College has been the best.The school is a methodist private school and envolves chapel in the students studies which helps the falcuty and students get in touch with there own faith. I have meet the best teachers, they are actually there to help through out your studies there. You can actually get the one -on-one help that you desserve to make it through your courses. The students at the school are actually there to learn and all the students seem to be mature and eager to meet othe students. The students there are also willing to lend a helping hand in studies or even in your personal life. The student life there seems to be very appropriate for the fact the school is methodist, and there are so many student activities to get involved in that will help make your resume for future employment look great. I really think that I will benefit from this school if i just take care of business and get the help I need. GO BEARCATS!

FSU has instilled values of leadship, tradition, serivice, scholarship, and friendship that have made me the person I am today. College has allowed me to learn so much about myself and what I want out of life. It has made me a more indepent person and has given me the drive and determination to set goals for myself and to achieve great things. College has also given me so many leadership opportunities that have taught me so much and have really helped me to develpe as a person. Not only have I been able to participate in leadship opportunities but I have been given so many opportunites to get involved in service and to really give back to the community. As a student at FSU, I have excelled in acedemics, leadership and service which are vital aspects of my future. FSU has provided so many opportunies for me to really find what I am passionate about and really pursue my dreams.

I have an unexplainable desire to make the absolute most of myself. I always wanted to do well in life, but my college experience has only deepened that desire and is preparing me to do so. I have learned about my future career, but more than that I have learned about myself and people.

Florida State was a great experience because you weren't weighed down be several factors. One, the cost of the school allows you to breathe easy after you graduate. If your lucky and you're a Florida resident you do not have to pay very much. Secondly, the environment is so friendly. I made lifetime friends here and we all still keep in contact with each other. I now attend a school where I am surrounding by kids who take themselves entirely too seriously. The environment here is one of anxiety. Kids at FSU are friendly and inviting. No one will ever talk about an exam right before the exam is passed out or vie for that front row seat. The institution itself provides countless opportunities for students. There are tons of majors as well as resources at your disposal. I miss the organization that the school provided. I think my college expeirence was so valuable because I was able to grow into an adult without the pressures of an uptight community. I was also able to take electives and classes that I found interesting. You cannot beat that great experience and the low cost.

I have received a more sustainable education in the inrtroducton to Fire safety and Fire Chemistry. What I would like to achieve is a degree in Firefighting, Neurology, and eventually become a neurosurgeon. It has been valuable to attend college because of the experience and the knowledge I have been receiving with in the courses I have taken and are willing to continue through out this semester and future semesters.
