Marquette University Top Questions

What should every freshman at Marquette University know before they start?

Erica

It has been a whirlwind of learning. At first, I thought classes and new friends. Quickly though, I joined band and writing society, the most valuable part has been being around people who inspre me to grow as a person. Be it learning how to make sure people are satisfied with their dining experience at work or getting help from the professor to make sure I have an awesome version instead of a done piece. Being in college at this high of a level means no longer being one of the "smart kids" but being an average kid who has to work and learn alongside everyone else.

I have learned much thus far about business in general and the challenges that might be encountered upon finishing my education. Also, a since of camaraderie with my fellow classmates has been achieved, while I enetered my classroom with an expectation of being shunned considering the rivalry that is destined to ensue upon completion of our education. Finally, I have learned key specifics about the career I wish to pursue via informative teachers, assignments, and various classroom conversations. I think that the lessons listed have offered me the opportunity to make more informed decissions about what direction to take my education, they have shown me that working together towards a common goal, even against a perceived opponent, is sometimes better than struggling alone, and I can take the information that I have learned and the information that I hope to learn in the future and apply it to my career in an attempt to become the ideal employee.

Well, let's see, community college is legit! Cheap tuition is where is at, but my goal is to transfer to UT-Austin in the fall of 2011. So far I have gotten a good education and which will end up being very valuable when I get out in the job market. Hopefully ESPN!

Throughout the my college experience I have gained a lot of knowledge and that does not just include learning from inside the classroom. Yes, I have refound my passion for politics by taking a variety of political classes, but the item that I think that has truly been gained for my college experience is the strength that I have found in myself. In high school I was more of a push over and a people pleaser. I still find it important to think of others, but in college I realized one has to look out for themselve and look inside and figure out what makes me me. I have learned that one needs to stand up for what they believe in because one cannot rely on another to do something for them. One cannot just think someone will do something without being guided or told. If one wants somethings done they need to do it.

Since neither of my parents went to college, I did not know what type of experience to expect. Now that I am in my second year at Marquette University, I became accustomed to a world of constant growth. Growth in my intellect and desire for knowledge, growth in my spirit and morals on how to live, and growth with my community to learn to make it better. This type of growing experience can only come from a university that desires to form students into complete people.

I have learned many things from my college experiance. I've learned what it is like to study extremely hard, and how great it feels to obtain a test result you truly worked hard for. College experiance has also showed me the value of a college education in general. Being a first generation college student, my parents never had the oppertunities I will have once I graduate. Going along with that I have also realized how much money it really does cost to attened a university, and have learned the true value of a dollar. It has been extremely vaulable to me to learn these lessons as I attend school, while life moves forward each day.

Even though I am just a freshman in my first semester of college, I have learned so much in the past three months. I have learned that I can be responsible to get to class on time, I have learned how to juggle my studying with the many volunteer activities that I want to participate in and I have learned to make life long friendships all ready. I have noticed how much my parents sacrificed for me to attend this school as we do not have enough money to pay for all the costs even though I graduated with a 4.00GPA and was my high school valedictorian. I have learned that it is so important to know my professors and truly participate in my classroom activities as it does matter to the professors if they feel the student is engaged in their class. I have loved my college career even though I was terrified to start in the honors program on a pre-medtrack! But most importantly, I have learned to value of learning so that I can become the best doctor that I can be and how important it is to know the material!

Marquette University is a very wonderful college to attend and I'm very glad that I attended it. In class, if you approach the proffesor, most of the time they are extremely helpful to you. There are also many services that a student can use to enable him or her to do much better in school. Some of those services include counceling and tutoring. The friends you make at Marquette are most likely to be the friends you're going to stick with for the rest of your life because they are very trustworthy people that are very friendly and kind. My experience here, so far, has given me a new sight about the world. Overall the college experience so far in class and out of class is both helpful and amazing. I know that the education I'm getting here at Marquette will help me in the future. I know I will be able to do the best with the degree I obtain from Marquette because at Marquette you actually learn and know how to do things the right way. The acquaintances you make here also enable you to learn more about the world. Marquette is a great place.

I have made hundreds of new friends from college and I have had countless experiences that will never be matched. College is so valuable because it is the first taste of independence that a young adult gets. It turns a boy into a man, and a girl into a woman. Through the ups and the downs college is the best times of a persons life and can not be replaced. You gain knowledge that you have never learned before, and you learn to see things, and people in a way that you never thought about before. College is where you may get live away from your parents for the first time, get your first job, and maybe even find your first love. I have gotten all three from my college experience, and that is what I wish for anyone who chooses to attend.
