Louisiana Tech University Top Questions

Apply for more scholarships! Attend school sooner and don't lose that free-ride scholarship you had! Ya moron! The education you are going to get is going to far exceed your wildest dreams, but it won't be where you'll need to be to get the career you want. It will, however, provide you with the ground work for acceptance into a school you never thought you were capable of getting into, and in doing so you will be swamped with more debt than you can possibly imagine right now. Take what money you can get and never, under any circumstance, give up. You can achieve the best if you try, so get off your lazy behind and go apply for some scholarships. It's always worth the effort and when you get accepted into said big fancy school, you'll need all the money you can get! Apply yourself towards everything you do with everything you have and you will reach higher than you ever dreamed possible. Have faith in yourself, and never ever give up.

I would tell my high school self, ACT and SAT scores may pay part (a very small part) of the way through college, but it is not an index of what ease you may expect of college. Think about the essay you'll write seeking med school financial aid on swapping places witha super hero or villain for a day, for which you write 250 about Brain (of Pinky and the Brain), Edison, Fort Minor lyrics, and the Laverne and Shirley theme song. Do more than go to Homecoming with Romell, and if you can take a more challenging Pre-Freshman year load to test the true difficulty of collegiate waters. Start with coffee and regular sleep, and for inspiration, by back that pathophysiology book. More importantly establish a realtionship with the Pre-medical advisory board in the college of applied and natural sciences freshman year. Also, buy your own trumpet, pursue more excercise classes, discern good guys from those who are not, because spark is overrated, get social groups (of sober people), and apply to Lousiana Tech University REU for the summer of 2006. Learn to ask professors questions during their office hours. SMILE, LOVE, LIVE, SERVE and THRIVE.

Live near campus sooner and join a fraternity.

I would beat it into my former self, not literally, that the harder you work in high school, the less problamatic it would/could be. I would make, me, understand that knowing as much as you can pays off--big time.

Buckle down and study harder - I know high school was a breeze, but college kicked you in the seat of your pants the first few years. Develop good study habits NOW, even if it doesn't seem like you need to! You will in the future! Good study habits stay with you for a long time, and if you don't develop them early, you're almost out of luck. Its like learning a second language- you have a much better chance of suceeding if you start early.

I have learned more than just the coursework, I have also leatned many ife lessons including: perseverance, patiance, teamwork, cooperation and how to come back from failure. I've made friends that will last a lifetime and more are to come. This has been one of the best experiences of my life.

When I decided to go to Tech, I was very interested in the importance of learning. I wanted to become an electrical engineer. Tech is a very good school for teaching in this area of work. I have learned many new ideas. I have dyslexia, and it has been hard for me to get all of the information I have needed for each class. I would like to continue at Tech and it has been hard on my family paying the tuition, but I expect to complete my education here and find a good job with the skills I will develop over the next few years.

To be honest, 30{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of my decision to go to college is to show other young mothers it can be done and that you are not stuck depending on anyone. Since I have been attending college I have learned a great deal about interesting facts. It is valuable to me just for the simple and honest fact that I know when I am done with college, I wont just have a job I will have a career. I will be able to provide for my family and myself. That is the greatest feeling of all.

A great campus good teachers and good area

At the college I have attended, I learned that "respect" is a word that should not be thrown around. There are many great people that reside in the town of Ruston, Louisiana, and I have come to respect people from all parts of the world. Through involvement in extracurricular activities, intramural sports, division one sports, a sorority, clubs, and volunteer work around the town, I have come to realize that respect comes in all areas of life, but it doesn't come easily. Often, people have to "walk a mile in someone's shoes" to come to respect a person. At Louisiana Tech University, many opportunities help students to respect one another simply by walking a lot less than a mile in another's shoes. I have learned about many cultures (Costa Rica, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Nepal, Nigeria, France, Japan, Canada, Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, to name a few) by studying abroad, playing intramural sports, attending cultural nights, becoming involved in the community, and participating in numerous clubs. The opportunities that Louisiana Tech University provided me with ample access to learning about respect and the humbleness that should be attached to it.
