Illinois Institute of Technology Top Questions

Out of my college experience so far, I have learned many things. What you get out of life is how much work you put towards a certain task. This leads to me knowing that complaining about anything will not get me anywhere, only hard work will. My classes have sufficiently improved my work ethic and time management, two traits that not only help in school, but in life and careers as well.

This is my first time to USA and the things I have gotten and learned out of the school about America is the hospitality and warm heart about USA people including the officers and many warm hearted people here. I came here by myself last year and I even didn't know how to take the train to my school. After I got off the airplane and I asked person by person to find the way step by step including how to by farecards, tickets , where is the toliet.etc. Fortunately, all of the people including passenagers and officers often told me very specificly where I should go and some of them even lead the way for me and walk with me to the destination and come back then. Besides that the Banker here is also helpful and help me pay my tutions very patiently. This is the most grateful thing I learned out of college in USA.

My college experience taught me that diversity is the spice of life. Each day I learn something new about an old friend, or make a new one. We may come from different walks of life but in the end we are all trying to make sense of the same thing. I met a Vietnamese international student who was in the States for only two to three years. His parent had sent him here with their own wealth from Vietnam. His tuition was paid for on time every month, while I was trying to complete my FAFSA with my mother who makes less than twenty thousand a year. Having been in the States for more than eight years and learned the concept of social class, I realize I’m out of my league in this school. But we manage to clique to really well. Then one day he told me he has trouble concentrating on school work, he asked me to come to the counselor office with him to get some help. My neurosis alarmed me. Is it really concentration that he has troubled with? The answer was no. We were both in college, both dazed and scared by possibilities.

My college experience has taught me that anything can be accomplished. The situation may seem as though it is impossible, but if you remain calm, patient, and organized, you will get through it. First of all, one must remain calm at all times. A calm mind can better assess situations. Disaster feeds off of calamity. Secondly, a person should always remain patient. A lot of times, things don't happen in the time frame that you originally set, but if you remain patient, you may see the situation blossom. Lastly, staying organized is the key. Disorder can cause any situation to fail. Keeping things organized will allow you to see situation clearly and create better solutions to problems. In conclusion, my colleg experience has been my value. Learning to remain calm in all situations, learning to remain patient, and learning to stay organized has made life so much easier for me. There is no situation that is impossible. All I have to do is apply what I have gotten out of my college experience.

Well, I just not only learned what I have leran , but also how to learn by myself which is more helpful for my entire learning life.

The most valuable experience I have gained from my university is applying knowledge I have learnt to life and practice. To be specific, I studied in the lab during last year and it helps me have a better understanding of the knowledge I learnt from class and applied them to real life. I also have learnt a broad variety of knowledge as well as another culture. So I think those experience are really helpful for my self-development.

I have been in college for one semester, and already it has been the most valuable experiences of my life. During my freshman year of high school, I was diagnosed with Asperger's Synrome (AS). AS is a high functioning form of autism and effects a person'a ability to form significant relationships. Routine situations can become overwhelming to someone with AS. Going to college is a huge step for anyone. But, going to college for someone with AS can be described as completely overwhelming. I chose to attend the Illinois Institute of Technology. I then made the decision to live on-campus which was a huge step for me. I have not only amazed my parents these past four months but I have amazed myself! I transitioned easily into living on-campus and managed to earn excellent grades my first semester. I have grown more in the last four months than I have in years. I really hope you will consider me for this scholarship because I believe I represent someone that went outside their comfort zone and challenged themself beyond what most people face in their day to day lives. Thank you for your consideration!

It was extremely valuable to attend Illinois Institute of Technology because I could meet so many people from around the country. IIT has the highest percentage of international students in America so that students could experience cultural varieties to understand and become open minded person. I think it was the most valuable experience. Also, I'm so proud of myself attending school that has prestige and reputation. I feel so happy when tourists from all around the world come infront of the crown hall that I am studying, looking at us with envious mind. Also, living right next to the chicago downtown is a wonderful experience because chicago itself is the 3rd biggest city in America. That makes me proud to attend IIT. The last thing that I want to point out is that IIT has excellent curriculum that students can learn architecture appropriately. Professors are awesomely intelligent besides, facilities are excellent too. We have nicest residential buildings, lab facilities, student center, lecture halls and resting areas. I love my university.
