Florida State University Top Questions

To me the college expirience has been a bit rushed. I have attended online and in the military abroad. The true education I have recieved was in the work force. I don't want to have my children learn that way however. So I am pushing myself to get my education so that my children will know the impact of a degree. That is the value I put on my education... the future for my children.

I have received a lot of information about the Interior Design profession. Many of my logical questions have been answered in these classes and I have gained a better understanding of what it takes to become a skilled, professional Interior Designer. I've been introduced to many different companies in this field. I have met many new people and several doors have been opened for future possiblities. I'm glad to enter the work force with this experience under my belt. I feel that the professors are very knowledgable about this subject and are very willing to share their knowledge with their students.

I loved going to college. Because I was a music education student, I had the best of both worlds. The education classes were challenging and absolutely neccessary to be a successful teacher. The performing opportunities that I had were exceptional. I wouldn't trade my college experience for anything. It has defined who as I am as a person.

The most elementary and direct gain that I have received from my college experience up to this point is the simple expansion of my knowledge, which is actually a paradoxical concept since education is not simple. I can honestly say that I learn something new every single day from the courses that I am enrolled in, and on top of that, I'm learning about things that are interesting to me. Being able to learn more about a subject of interest not only makes it easier to dedicate more time into studying, but it also sparks new ideas and inventive motives among the students. Along with gaining further knowledge from this institution of higher learning, I have learned and/or improved upon my self-discipline and time management. As it is widely known, many college students overdesignate time to leisure and do not set aside enough time to concentrate on the reason they're at school in the first place - to learn. Although I have never really had any issues in the past with time management or self-discipline, new additions to my everyday routine have allowed me to improve upon myself in those regards, such as using a planner.

My college experience has definately been a rewarding experience. In college, there is a certain sense of accomplishment that I have never really experienced. During my high school years, I always felt as though it was something that I had to do. College is more of something that I wanted to do and I have enjoyed every minute of it. Getting that "A" in that class that I just knew I wouldn't do well in, gave me the best feeling and it made me more motivated to do well in the next class. I have learned so much in college. I have two wonderful children and I encourage them on a daily basis of the importance of college and the importance of putting everything they have into college. College has been valuable to me because I know that my career is just around the corner. My mother has always told me that a college degree is something that no one can ever take away from me. That degree will follow me for the rest of my life. I have held on to my mother's words and I am determined to accomplish it. Thank you.

I got the best four years of my life at Florida State. I grew up in a town full of stereotyping and naivete. Going to FSU was like getting that breathe of fresh air that I didn't know I needed. It taught me to live largely and to disregard the rules that the society of a small town said made me "normal." Florida State also taught me that I can reach my goals, no matter how large they may seem to others, and no matter how improbable they may seem for a small town girl from the Bible belt of the south. Because of the university and the people I met there, I have set new goals, bigger goals, and I've already begun to achieve them. I'm attending a top ten graduate school for two years, one that will give me great knowledge and experience, and I know that my time at FSU has prepared me ten-fold for my future.

what have I gotten out of going to college is that I can achieve anything I put my mind to. It has helped me learn things i had forgotten because I have been out of school for 20 years so it has helped me tremendusly.

Out of my college experience, I have gained confidence. I am more resourceful and independent than I was before I left for college. By taking responsibility for myself by paying my own bills, deciding where I was going to live, learning to budget my time and money, and making my schedule, I now feel that I truly am a member of the real world. Once I enter the work force and begin my career, I believe that the skills I acquired in my life will complement the knowledge I gained in my classes. I feel that I am a more well-rounded individual because of my life away at college. Though the cost of attending college has been pricey, the value of the knowledge and skills I have gained can't be measured.

As an established and prestigious university, Florida State allows its students to make the most of their education. Because I am currently ?Exploratory? (commonly known as ?undecided?), I have been encouraged to take classes that personally interest me so that when it?s time to choose my major, I can make a decision that I will be happy with. Attending this university has allowed me to find my way in the real world?hopping out of the nest, I?ve learned to be independent and take responsible. Although I?m only a freshman, I feel that I?ve matured more at this university than I ever could have at home, and it?s an experience I believe everybody should have.

There are two major areas that have impacted me at Florida State University. First, I have been exposed to a variety of classes and professors that have made it very interesting. No two classes or teachers have been similar - so I have been able to be successful since there has been a diverse learning environment. Secondly, I have had the opportunity to do mission work in Guatemala with a campus organization - plus was on the organizinf team for FSU's Big Event volunteer day. I have been able to hone my leadership skills while helping others.
