Gannon University Top Questions

My college experience has been amazing. I have learned a lot of things since I have been enrolled in Kilian Community College. As well as doing things I never thought I could do, Fractions, for one, inicate conversation and public speaking. College has given me confidence to do anything I put my mind to. I use to look for some one to comfort me, help me with issues and school work. Now I am encouraging students and making them feel welcome just as somoeone did for me. College has been a value to me because I never thought I would be able to attend college because of the learning disability I had in middle and high school. In addition I want my three year old daughter to know how important education is. As she watch me do homework many of nights and get prepared for school each day, she ask question and had I not been going to college I would not know how to properly answer her questions. With that being said college has taught me how to be a student, a better mother and a friend.

My college experience has taught me there is more to higher education than the stereotypical drunken frat boys and arrogant intellectuals. I took a public speaking course after five consecutive years of homeschooling and still managed to pass and make a few smiles. I also met an professor from Chicago who managed to mold me from a simpleton who never wrote an essay in his life to an imaginative writer who now enjoys poetry. My most valuable college experience however came in the form of my History professors. In particular, I studied under the same one who taught and advised me for two years and four courses. He taught me not only about American history and the Holocaust, but also indirectly about the importance of a good teacher. To this day I still maintain contact with him and hope I can become a professional who can inspire my own students the way he inspired me. In the end my college experience was quite sober and the majority of those I met were not haughty at all, rather I found perhaps the richest experience in my life as a student who found much more out of both college and also himself.

For me attending college was the only way to go. I am not strong and cannot do aa boring job all my life. I also love to learn all I can about everything that could possibly interest me. So i decided to go to Gannon and learn all that i can. Gannon has provided me a larger background of being a well rounded person. I have learned to be more of myself and who i am inside. While Gannon does this one little thing i find it difficult to believe that many colleges succeed in this.

Attending college has introduced me to so much. I want to be an archaeologist and to be perfectly honest i only knew of a few fields of archaeology. By attending college courses in my field I learned that theres actually hundreds of fields. It also introduced me to different cultures that I have grown to be interested in. I also joined an anthropolgy where I met fellow students with the same interest as me. It's so valuable to attend becasue there is so much more than you are aware of. If I didn't attend college then I wouldn't have met a professor who would let me go on archaeological digs with him. There are so many opportunities that one could miss out on. This is why I believe it is very valuable to attend.

My college expereince has been very rewarding, and is certainly helping me grow as a person to achieve my academic and personal goals. It has long been my desire to have a career in academia, and my current educational endeavors are helping me realize this goal. Due to family struggles in my younger years, I was unable to attend college directly out of high school. My parents were very hard working people, but not very supportive of education. Initially, I sought a career in banking as a means to make a way in the world. After five years of working in this faculty, I realized that it was not my destiny. During my time in banking, however, I was able to establish a solid base on which I could return to school. Now, I am working toward a degree in Linguistics and European Studies. This is exponentially valuable to me, because it opens the door to academic achievement and success in my desire to be a professor. College has proven to be invaluable to me, and I am using it to the absolute fullest. It is enriching, rewarding and gratifying.

I've met a lot of great people. I'm looking forward to spending the next few years of my life with them. College is a truly wonderful experience. While you are working towards your future you also get to enjoy the present with people that you can really connect to.

My college experience thus far has been invaluable. I have been blessed with so many opportunities to meet new people and partake in many new experiences. Our university has a wide variety of students here and we are given lots of opportunities through the school to socialize and learn about people from different cultures. Additionally, although I have only been here for one semester, I have learned more here from my amazing professors than I have in my whole life. My professors have not only taught me about my classes and given me information pertaining to my major, but they have taught me about life and helped me through any situation I have found myself in. Gannon gives me an opportunity to be independent while still allowing me to feel safe on my campus. It's an amazing campus filled with many amazing people. The faculty and staff are always very helpful and friendly. I have yet to come across an unhappy person on campus. I have gotten so much about college so far. This first semester at Gannon has changed my life. I have learned so much about myself and even become a stronger person because of it.

from my college experience thus far, I have really found myself as a person. My morals and values have been challenged and I have been forced to make decision that had I been living at home with my family I would not be forced to do. College has opened my eyes to the real world outside of high school and sports teams. It has showed that there are many things going on in world that I will be exposed to and may not agree with but it is up to me to make the decision as to what I am going to do with it. College has allowed me to grow into my own person and be who I want to be. I realize now that I am the only one that can make me succeed and that I can do anything I want as long as I am willing to work. Attending college has helped me to see that furthering my education will not only make my future better but will help me to reach out and help others futures as well. College ha had nothing but postive impacts on my life.

It is valuable to attend college because you not only learn a lot about your prospective field of study but also yourself. In high school you are confined to one area with the same people all day, where as in college you learn how to interact with different people and how do deal with real life crisis.

I have learned very valuable lessons during my brief time at Gannon University. The most valuable lesson though has been that the friends you make your freshmen year are the most important people in your "college life". My friends have been the only thing to keep me level-headed during stressful times and motivated during the rough times. They keep me on task and make sure that I get my work done instead of just blowing off all of the work and not getting it done. We all keep each other competitive and wanting to do better than each other, which causes us all to work harder. My friends have been an invaluable aquirement of college that I would never trade for anything.
