Kettering University Top Questions

In a word, my college experience thus far has been exciting. I am excited by the fact that Kettering's 3-month class terms each contain a full semester's worth of material, and that the coursework is therefore presented at a much more satisfactory level of difficulty for me. I am excited by the fact that two of these 3-month terms out of every year are dedicated to cooperative education, and that my in-class learning is therefore supplemented and reinforced by real-world engineering experience. I am excited by my co-op job in particular, and its potential to jump-start my career long before I graduate. I am excited by the types of extra-curricular activities available to me, such as the Formula Zero competition for hydrogen fuel cell-powered go-karts. I am excited by the like-minded students that surround me when I am at Kettering, and the expectation that the friendships that I am forming with them will have the strength to last. I am excited that, whatever else I may or may not do or learn at Kettering, I know I will graduate with everything I need to start my own life.

I am currently enrolled at Capella University majoring in MS Postsecondary and Adult education. So far, my experience at Capella has been challenging, valuable and enjoyable. The program's curriculum teaches concepts that I can apply in real world situations. The instructors are helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. They serve as facilitators more than a traditional teacher which allows students the freedom to discussion issues freely. Capella focuses heavily on teaching students how to be better critically thinking which I find to be a very valuable skill. Thus far, my classes are comprised of a diverse group of students from all ethnic groups and professional backgrounds. I would encourage any student to check out Capella if they want a quality education.

This is my second year at Hudson Valley Community College. Although it is a two-year college, I learned a great deal about my field of study, which is business and accounting. I went more in depth into the studies and found out what it’s all about, and so far I am confident about my career path as a businessman. Hudson Valley is a great stepping stone to a university. The classes are very easy, and if the subject is hard, the professors are very helpful. Sometimes it seems like they are begging us to go to their office hours and offer to give help. For the past three semesters I’ve been here, there wasn’t any teacher that offered less than 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of their support. I found it very valuable to attend college everyday to get the most out of what has to be offered. In all my classes, we learn so much in one day, that I personally want to attend. Most of my professors link their classes to our real-life situations, so we are more involved with the subject. I have learned so much and will do so in my future college career.

Attending college is probably one of the best choices I have ever made. It is equipping me with knowledge, both in academic and working realms, which I will need when I move out into the professional world. By becoming a college student, I was given the opportunity to take my first step in my career, obtaining an internship at General Motors. Kettering has always made having work experience a requirement to graduate, so that way I will not only have the academic knowledge I will need later on, but the skills I will need in a working environment as well. To be sure, this college is a great opportunity, giving me the tools I need to build my future. The most valuable thing to me about attending Kettering University is that not only do I learn raw knowledge and gain work experience, but I learn how it applies to my life. In the years to come, this school will not only teach me what I what to know, but equip me with the ability to lead my life and reach my goals.

My college experience thus far has been quite a monumental transition in my life. I've gone through a great deal of changes and maturation over the past few months, and college has already proven to be a valuable asset to me in this regard. I am learning enormous amounts of valuable information, both in and out of the classroom. As a college student, one garners two types of education: the academia required to fulfill a given degree, and the life lessons and experiences that develop one into a mature adult. In addition to learning the fundaments of electrical engineering necessary for my degree, I have instilled within myself elements of responsibility, diligence, and leadership that I never truly excercised to this extent. The transition into living on my own has provided me the importance of such virtues. I have become more self-reliant ; I have learned the importance of time management; I have learned to put myself outside my comfort zone. In my development into a mature adult, college has proven to be an exceptionally valuable asset. The combination of scholastic learning and life lesson experience is what makes college such a valuable institution to be a part of.

College provided me the opportunity to learn many things, including the ability to learn. I experienced a rigorous academic program that challenged me intellectually, and philosophically. I was pressured to grow in maturity, as I was away from home for the first time on my own. I had to get organized to study and finish assignments on time without my parents around to check on me. I had to manage my time to prepare for tests and projects, while still participating in student activities and social life, and maintaining my spiritual values. College prepared me, and supplied skills necessary for a socially responsible life as an adult, and helped me realize how fortunate I was to have family and church family who loved me and trained me to be successful in life. College degrees have helped me to compete successfully in the job market and to get employment that has enhanced my ability to secure a comfortable living for me and my family.

In attending Crowder College, I am receiving a comprehensive education in the field of nursing that will have many positive effects on myself and my family. I have, so far, acquired a detailed understanding of the human body and the scientific explanation of its functions. I have many years of clinical experience as a medical assistant, but this college is providing a much deeper understanding of how the body works and therefore, what is needs to do so. After this basis of anatomy, physiology, and science is established, I will be instructed in the practical and clinical applications of nursing and will have the opportunity to spend many hours within local clinical settings. The instructors that I've encountered at this college are so comprehensively knowledgeable about their field of study, and are thorough in their task of passing on that knowledge to their students. This has given me the confidence that I am receiving an excellent nursing education which will, in turn, make me an excellet nurse. I am also showing my daughters the value of an education, and the fact that it is never too late to attain one.

I have already made ties in my intended field, possibly a job after I graduate, and the people that I have met have changed my life. It is worth it if your planning on going into any field that K.U. offers. At least take a look at the college. What could it hurt?

I have realized that even though the people at college are designed to help; they are not always helpful. I have found that I can rely on myself to move into the future with success. College has made me a stronger person.

I have gotten experience in the workforce and discovered that I really do want to do this for my career. I discovered different areas that I would like to focus on, and different subjects which I now know that I need to learn well. I also learn the material taught in classes better, due to small classes taught by actual professors.
