Georgia Southern University Top Questions

From my college experience I have further enjoyed my passion for learning, and the joy of being in community with fellow passionate learners. Through different assignments, I have been able to narrow down my intended major and career choice. I treasure those various learning oppurtunities that have exposed me to books, different ways of thinking, seeing the world, because they have helped shaped my old passions into new passions. I feel motivated in college to truly make a difference in the world and build bridges of understanding between peoples,cultures, and countries. Each class I take has challenged my mind and even though there have been many difficult classes, or subjects that I wasn't particurlary strong in, I am thankful that I had to take those classes because excercising my brain and applying it in different ways truly has utilized it as a muscle. The brain can only become stronger and college has really helped me to strengthen my cognitive abilities.

I have learned to be more mature in my time management. I have set up better schedules to fit in time to study, see my friends, and personal time. I've also learned many different recipes for Ramen noodles!

I have received an experience unlike any I was expecting. My professors, classes and community life turned out to be the complete opposite of what everyone was saying. My professors actually care and help you if you ask, my classes are small enough that I can actually remember and recognize fellow classmates, and my community life is a mixture of clubs and volunteering through the college. This college has given me the best freshmen experience that went way beyond my expectations. I have gotten a great learning opportunity, community involvement, and better social skills out of my college experience. This college is valuable to attend because of its professors, classes and the way it gets its students involved in the school and in the community. It has provided me with ways to branch out and meet others as well. The school itself is just remarkable and urges its students to involve themselves in unexpected ways.

I have gotten a sense of fullfillment and purpose in life. I feel as if I am learning new things about myself everday and it is exiting and frighting at the same time. I am also gaining a new perspective regarding my life as well as how I can use my skills and experience to help the world around me be a better place for others.

I believe i have become more rounded as a person. I have learned valuable information that i will use everyday in my future career and I have learned valuable life lessons that i will lever forget. Iv become better at money management now that im on my own and paying for my school and expenses. I have definitely become more responsible over the years. I have also gotten life long friends and memories ill lever forget.

Throughout my first year of college, I have learned that it will be a difficult path but it is worth fulfilling. Since I go to school full time and work 25-30 hours a week, as well as pay for my own school, I feel I am at liberty to say that I am not experiencing the "normal" college experience. Nevertheless, I will push forward because I know that the outcome far outweighs the current struggle. I have seen my parents struggle, and watched my Dad go back to college at age 40, and I have decided that I never want to put myself in a situation to have to do that. I would also like to be able to pay for my kids' college, and provide them with the opportunity to have a "normal" college experience. For all of these reasons, a college education is very important to me and although at times it is hard, I know it is worth all that waits ahead.

college is definitely a huge change from high school. For me college made me much more independent and responsible. I was forced to take responsibility for my own actions quickly. when my parents moved more than twelve hours away I had to figure everything out on my own. although this was a challenge, I love it because I can grow and develop as a person as well as advance my education and career oppurtunities. Since I have been in college for a year I changed my major to something that I actually could see myself doing instead of what my parents wanted. I have made life long friends and connections. I have genuinely found myself and I attribute most of my self-discovery to being in college. I am very proud to be a college student, and college has made me proud to be who I am.

I began attending Itt Tech in March 2005 & I was 'wowed' by the hands on experience. In the second semester, I had a car accident which resulted in transportation issues that ultimately caused me to withdraw from school. The hardest decision I had ever made. By the time I had gotten me another vehicle, I had also gotten myself pregnant and as bad as I wanted to continue my education, I opted to wait. I was able to re-enroll in June 2009, which was happy yet sad. Sad because my loan provider tryed to default on one of my loans because a representative put the wrong information into my account. Although I have been through all of that.....I'm still here , a mom & going strong with a 3.44! So to answer the question: What have I gotten out of my college experience is as long as you work hard for something and stay persistant, you will succeed! This is and always be very valuable to me because I believe it will take me to where I'm trying to get to in the future. No matter what life pitches, I'm gonna hit a homerun!
