Through my college experience I have met so many people from all walks of life. I met people who have different religion, race, nationality, political view and culture.

I have participated in many hands on projects, researches and spoke with real life experts with is very valuable to me.

IIT has offered me a second chance. My previous University afforded me beatiful steps toward a rewarding education. Unfortunately, I experienced various troubles on my path to eventual enlightenment. As a result, I was forced to leave the prestigious institution and consequently take a break with my studies. Since being accepted at my current university, I have gained professional insight regarding my career path. I have worked among geniuses and related with my peers and professors more than I ever thought possible. Academically, I have been challenged and concurrently challenged myself to the highest degree. The university and its programs fuel my drive for success. I believe now that after graduation, I will be fully equipped to enter the world as an intellegent professional ready to make history - because of my own history.

I would say that my college experience here has given me the tools necessary to succeed at a future career. I have learned a lot in the classroom and have taken part in many events around campus. The campus is close to a major city and has become an integral part of the campus life. The city has many opportunities and having it so close has allowed me to take part and use the resources that are available. This has helped prepare me for a future in a professional career. The education I have received has been a fully rounded one, where I have learned academically as well as socially and culturally. It has been valuable to attend because I have been exposed to more than a great education but to an overall cultural experience. Students on this campus come from all over the world and there are many opportunities to experience these different cultures. I have made many new friends since I started and many of them will be friends long after college.

Since I was a litle boy i have wanted to make something out of my life. I grew up in a lower class environment and thought I would never have the chance to go to college due to financial difficulties.now i have the chance to go so i am the most motivated person you have ever met!!

The amount of information and general life experiences I have received from my college education is enormous. As soon as I step foot on my college campus (which was a long way away from home given that I am from southern California) I found out that college was completely different than anything I had experienced before. Suddenly I was not restricted by anything or anyone. I could stay out as long as I wanted, choose my class schedule, wake up only minutes before class, do as much or as little work as I pleased, and spend all my time partying or all of it studying. The world was finally full of choices I could make for my self. After a few weeks of admittedly making the wrong choices I figured out what I needed to do. I needed to balance my time between work and play. Too much play and I would not be able to stay in school to keep playing (and to study of course) but too much studying and I would be burnt out and loose my motivation. Learning how to manage my time is something that will help me for the rest of my life.

What I have gotten out of my college experience is learning how I study best to help myself achieve good grades. High school does not teach students the necessary tools they need to figure out how they learn and study best.

Every class, every semester redefines what I get out my college experience. I have consistently felt that I have both learned and been able to contribute from every class I took and those experiences have helped me be productive and open in activities outside of school.

At Illinois Institue of Technology I have learned a great deal about what it means to be great. This school is very focused on academic success and job placement. I have had to sacrafice a lot when it comes to socializing, however, I feel that it will be worth it in the long run. My school has shown me the imprtance of hands-on learning and doing research outside of the given course material. I have been taught that doing research makes me a well rounded person. Attention to detail is also an important asset in the learning process, and my school strongly encourages it. Illinois Institute of Technology is very valuable place for me to attend because it provides everything that I need to put me ahead of everyone else when it comes to education. The alumni here shows that this school will not accept anything less than greatness.
