King’s College-Wilkes-Barre Top Questions

Lots of community service opportunities! It really enriched me as a person and made me realize that I wanted to help people for the rest of my life. It allowed me to to meet new people and form lasting friendships!

I have learned to be more independent and responsible from attending King's and living in a College Dorm. I am still in the process of learning what is required from me in order to achieve my goals. I feel that attending College is very goal orientated and the process begins anew each day with every new challange that comes my way. Attending College and living on campus has changed who I am. The change has made me see life-situations and acheiving goals in a whole new way. I now value my Education like I never valued it before. I looked foward to learning everyday and not just in the Classroom but in the entire College Exerience which changes everyday.

I have been at King?s College for about 5 months and so far my experience here has been incredible. I have grown so much from living on my own. I have become very independent and my grades have greatly improved. I think this has been a very valuable experience because without it I would probably still be relying on others.

It is so hard to put down in words what I have gotten out of my college experience. This school has an excellent staff. I know that I could go to anyone in the communications department if I needed help with anything. You make friends that become more like family and you know that you always have someone that is there for you whether it be for school work or just to talk. I am so glad that I decided to come to this school it's small size is so helpful for work ethic and getting the kind of support you need from professors and students. I have gotten everything I could have possibly wished for in a college experience from King's College and I wouldn't have it any other way.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a senior i would tell myself to apply for any financial aid as early as possible and to make sure i picked up a habit for studying. I never had to study in highschool. I made honor roll every year without ever having to re-read my notes or make flash cards. However, when i got to college i realized i wasnt able to excell in my classes with out studying. The problem was i didnt know how. Since i had gone through highschool without studying when the time came for me to study in college it became difficult and i didnt know how to focus on retaining the material i needed. It wouldve been smart for me to practice good studying techniques in highschool that way i could be prepared for college. Another thing i would do different is applly for financial aid. there are lot of websites and company's that offer scholarship money and its better to take advantgage of them before you get into school that way any possible essays you may have to write aren't conflicting with your actual school work.

If I could travel back in time four years, I would come face to face with a girl completely unprepared for life after high school. I would tell her to visit campus multiple times before starting college. I'd also tell her to talk to her high school guidance couselor and try to determine what areas her strengths and weaknesses exist in, and to do whatever she can to determine what she would like to major in. In case that didn't work out, I'd advise her to seek the help of campus advisement, so as to not change majors quite so many times. I would let this naive girl know how easy it is to get caught up in the flexibility of college schedules, and urge her to stay focused on her studies and not miss classes. I'd tell her how great the clubs and service opportunities are and suggest she get involved with them right from the start of freshman year, rather than wait til her sophomore or junior years. Finally, I'd tell her to enjoy every second of college before it goes by way too fast.

If I could go back to talk to myself as a senior, I would have a lot of things to tell myself. The first thing I would tell myself is to really focus on my schoolwork. While I did well in high school, there is always room for improvement. I would tell myself to start looking at more scholarships while I was still in high school. I was not as concerned about that as I should have been then. Scholarships make my education more affordable and less of a burden on myself and my family. I would also tell myself to have fun with my friends and family before I left. I miss them now that we are so far apart and I wish that I had spent more time with them before I left. Also I would tell myself to pick up more hours at work so that I would have more spending money and more money to put towards my tuition. Going back to talk some sense into myself would be helpful, but it is too late now. I have learned from my mistakes and I will do better next year.

If I had the opportunity to go back in time and talk to my high school senior self I would tell myself to prepare for all of the debt that was coming. I would strongly recommend that I work harder in my last high school year and get that 3.9 gpa instead of the 3.8. I would also tell myself not to wait until summer to find a job, but to get used to going to school and having a job at the same time. I would advise myself to learn how to study rather than relying on the natural ability to simply understand high school content. Also, in order to adjust to the transition between high school and college I would advise myself to go the extra mile with all of the work I needed to complete because college expects much more effort than high school seems to expect. I would also advise the I suck up my pride and get a tutor when I start to struggle with classes. Most of all I would recommend that I learn how to procrastinate a little bit less to save myself the time it takes to cram.

Nothing I feel I made all the right choices. I would do exactly the same as I did when I was a high school senior.

I would tell myself to get over whatever it was that made me shy and make the most out of life. During the first two years but especially my freshman year, I only had a couple of friends and didn't do much. Now I go out and hang with friends and meet people that I could have met early in my college career.
