Lake Erie College Top Questions

I am currently employed full time in an Accounting role, and have learned first hand the value of a college dgree. Not only have I been able to advance in my current position, but I feel I have become a more well rounded individual. I have also met many interesting people that I would likely not have had the opportunity to meet outside of the college atmosphere. I am also a parent of two young children, soon to be three young children, and believe that I need to set a good example for their futures by completing my higher education goals. College truly is more than just the academics, it is about the entire experience including the socialization, and learning to work well with those that we may not be familiar with, as well as rising to the occasion to meet the particularly difficult challenges that are posed by the professors.

I have learned many things from college. I have learned to manage my time and that academics comes before my sport. It has also taught me to live on my own and make the right choices that are for me.

I believe that there is an unexplicable amount of knowledge I have gained going to university. I have gained both knowledge about the world around me and about how to better try to understand the world around me. I am currently in Australia, studying abroad. It is amazing to learn about an entirely different culture while studying. It's difficult to understand that in this country it is not as desirable to go to university as in the U.S. Time and time again I have been asked by non-university goers, why do I go? When I can just make money right now? Everytime it takes me a minute, but I always explain how much there is to know about the world around us and the people and biodiversity in it, that just working alone, would not fufill my drive and extreme desire to better my knowledge. Overall I would never change my decision to go to college, and if I could I would stay in college for ever to continue to learn.

Attending Lake Erie College has tought me very much. The school has a great faculty and staff that are always there for you whatever it comes to. I learned how to communicate and interact with different people from different places. Also living with a girl who was going to school for something completely different and was completely different from me taught me to be respectful, more patient and more open to things I'm not use to. I was also lucky enough to find a job on campus which showed how helpful the school is to its students. They make sure that everyone who needs a job or needs help paying their tuition gets the help they need in work study and in regular jobs to make money on the side.

I have learned a lot about the techniques of how to become a great teacher. I ahve also learned that it is important to study and to make good grades becuase that will help to get a better career. My professors here are experts in thier fields and take the time to make sure that you understand what they are teaching you. Also, being active and volenteering in the community is vital. They have made it mandatory to learn the history of the education field and I have learned a lot from that. They have also taught me that collaboration and teamwork are important parts of the education process.

Ive learned so much from the classes i have taken, and i have also leanred more about myself. living in the dorms has woken me up to the idea of indipendednt living away from home, so in a sence it is pushing me to by indipendent and twards a job i wish to have in the future, i love it.

One of the most valuable experiences I have gotten out of my college experience has been the ability to work closely with faculty members in my department. Faculty are very engaging with students and their office doors are frequently open for walk-ins if you have a question or concern. It was very easy for me to approach a faculty member and ask about research opportunities. The professor immediately assigned me some work to do for him. I am learning a lot through this experience and gaining knowledge of research and of my field that I could not have otherwise attained. It is the close-knit, "small town" community of this campus that has allowed these things to happen for me. And this, I think, is the top reason Lake Erie College has been valuable for me to attend.

I have gotten allot out of my college experience, the reason that this happens is because of the small classrooms and the number of students that the professors have to teach in a class. It gives the professors the ability to work with a student one on one if they need help on a subject in the classroom. With going to Lake Erie College it has given me the ability to make friends with people who will be park of my life for ever now, and be able to play a D2 college sport. With being at Lake Erie College you get more then what you think you will, with having teachers who care about you or making friends that you never thought you would. The thing that gets my attention is that when the college president walks campus he makes it his goal to come up to you and ask you how you are doing, or if their is anything he can do to help you better secede in the world. They care about you at Lake Erie College; to them you are a person not just a number that gets them a pay check.

Lake Erie College has taught me to be more responsible. I am two hours away from my home and being here has made me into the mature teenager that I am. I have opened myself up to new friends and the softball team has become my second family. I have learned the value of an education and where it can really take me in life. I have learned very quickly that things like partying and procrastinating can ruin the rest of your life. There are so many opportunities out there with a college education and now is my chance to do the best that I know I am capable of. I want the world to know what I can do someday and the lessons I am learning in college are preparing me to be the person that I want to be. Most importantly, Lake Erie College has brought out the real "me," and I am discovering new things about myself everyday. Every class, softball practice/game, club meeting, and school event shapes the person I will be in the future and I'm thankful to be in a college that is successfully helping me shape my future self .

So far my college expirence has been amazing! I am so lucky to be able to attend college and gain this expirence. I believe college have been valuable to attend because you learn how to manage your time so well. I also play on the volleyball team so everyday I have to stick to a certain schedule to be able to get everything accomplished for school and volleyball. I have learned I can't just go through college like I did in high school the classes get harder and you have to study about every night. I also have to study in days advance of a test because I can not just retain information in 2 hours I have to keep going over it and pounding it into my brain. I have also met so many different people and it's just an amazing expirence.
