Fort Hays State University Top Questions

an education and the chance to meet people from all over the world.

The best thing that i have experienced here at Fort Hays State University is that i have learned to look after myself. I am completly self sufficent with no help from my parents, and it is all thanks to attending college. It has made me a more responisble person, and i am better off because of it. I also gained better leadership and social skills that will be beneficial to any future jobs i applie for.

My experience at Fort Hays has been more than I could ever expect. I have learned that my education is not only important to me but it is equally important to every advisor, teacher and Staff at Fort Hays. I can reach out for help or questions at any time and there is always someone there to lend a hand. I have learned that a smaller school has just as many activities and clubs that I can join to be a part of the social environment as a larger school. I am very excited and driven to be a part of something so fantastic and as I pursue my dream of becoming a pediatric doctor, I know that my university will guide me every step of the way and always set me up to succeed.

What I have gotten out of my college experience is an eye opening to a whole lot of new oppurtunities and experiences that I never had while I attened high school. I have met a lot of new friends and make great connections with my teachers that I will remember forever. It's been valuable because I feel like I am having fun and having a great experience while getting a great education.

I've gotten a really good education, with extremely talented faculty who made it a top priority to make sure that I learned what I would need to make it as a practicing therapist. I had the good fortune of working with several very caring, very involved teachers in all of the different programs I sampled during my time at FHSU. I honestly feel that I have gotten a good, well-rounded liberal arts education that has prepared me well for life outside the university. I am returning to graduate school to further my education and career, because my work at FHSU has really lit a fire in me for my chosen field of study. I am not only passioinate about furthering my therapy career, but also am confident that the skills and habits I learned from my FHSU colleagues has left me fully prepared for more rigorous coursework. I love FHSU and would recommend the academic program there to anyone interested in a career in professional psychology.

What I have gotten out of my college experience since I have attended the art institute is that taking a chance at least when it comes to your education, just going out there and doing what you feel you are the best at (in my case) yielded great rewards and experiences. I feel that I have enjoyed my time here and I would not trade these experiences for anything. I've learned about the different kinds of art forms in my major such as motion capture, 3D modeling, green screen, and so forth. All of these I would have never understood if I would have stayed at home still twiddling my thumbs, thinking of what to do next. I'm very grateful for my time learning here and I hope that others will feel that way if they choose this path as well.

My college experience from Fort Hays State University has allowed me to have a solid education experience while I live in Germany. The virtual college opportunity lets me learn when I am at home in Munich or skiing in Austria. I never have to worry if I am getting a good education. FHSU 's reputation is rock solid and I will hold my education up to anyone. ... in Europe or the US!

If I could go back in time to talk to my High School Senior Self with the knowledge I possess today about college. I would say why, why, why (crying), don't you take advantage of the opportunities available to you as having two guardians over you financially, ?Parents? and ?Government.? Go ask your school counselor if you can attend college as soon a possible so that you may save some money by having the opportunity of having the government pay for your school? I just learned about the three basic types of financial aid: grants, work-study, and loans. Reason I started late in finding about grants, work study and loans is because I let down my pride, stopped listening to peer pressure (like being called a NERD) and started to caring about my self. Well I hope you consider me until then

Based on my experiences and decisions made thus far, I would encourage my younger and more inexperienced self to follow his ambitions. Strangely enough, I would say that I've gotten where I'm at now based on an interesting and seemingly impossible series of events that would in no way have occurred if I'd known what I do now. That being said, I would encourage my future self to take advantage of the situation he's in, no matter what the circumstance. Opportunities are a lot like shopping at a thrift store: Such items may seem unappealing or underappreciated to the untrained eye, yet if you look hard enough (and with a speck of imagination) many things can become what you?re looking for. It would be very easy to tell young Ken the shortcuts and great tips on how to study, what to worry about, etc., yet I feel as though my life experiences, failures, and successes have allowed me to enjoy the benefits of hard work, learn from the disappointments, and take nothing for granted. I wouldn?t want it any other way now, nor would I for my future self.

Don't be in a hurry to decide what you want to do with your life. Experience your first couple of years to the fullest and get general education classes out of the way, then decide what you want to major in and set your focus on it. There will be things you go through that you might regret, dont, everything you experience you can learn from and that's what shapes your character.
