Marian, be at peace. You might not get what you want, but even your back-up plans are good plans. God has it all figured out already, so trust Him.

I have learned so much already. Because it is a Jesuit school, they really put an empasis on learning and becoming a well rounded person and they do a great job of accomplishing that. I already feel like a better citizen of the world, I love the friends I have made and the experiences I've had. Not to mention how wonderful it is to be able to live in New York City and yet still have such a beautiful campus. Going to Fordham has given me the opportunity to learn and grow as a person in a way I don't think I would have if I had attended another university.

EVERYTHING A STUDENT COULD ASK FOR.

College has been an extremely valuable experience because it has allowed me to find what I am truly interested in doing for the rest of my life. Through a rigorous liberal core, I was able to effectively narrow my major down to Communications. Aside from this, it has also introduced me to new personalities from all across the globe who come here to learn and it is truly amazing to befriend people who come from such diverse and rich backgrounds. Lastly, I've also found great mentors from the teaching staff and student leadership development staff on campus and they have all given me new perspectives of how to approach different situations in life.

so far I have gotten more from noticing support from my family and friends that I am going to college. I really enjoy it here and I cant wait to get a degree in eletrical engineering to hopefully help develop more ways of making energy efficent

I have gotten alot out of my college experienced I have learned that I can go to school without my friends and survive. I can get infront of a class and do a oral presentation without passing out. I can also have fun at my school and still get my work done and pass my classes. All of these experiences are very valuable to me because they have given me the confidence to do things by myself because I know now that I can. It has also prepared me mentally when I go to a actual Univiesity because I will be use to talking infront of people , and i know that if i can do it at a Community College I can do it anywhere.

I have learned that you need to be fierce in life. I mean, you really need to strive for your own excellence because you don't always have someone, such as your parents, pushing you from behind. You're going to get stuck sometimes, but you need to keep going; it's the only way to live in this world. My college experience has taught me to be tough, to stand up for what I believe in, and to study. In highschool, I had none of these skills, but now I can ace a test and I can fight for my rights by simply pushing through the tough times.

Best experience. Great opportunities.
