Metropolitan State University of Denver Top Questions

I feel I have gotten a greater appreciation for history and the arts out of my college education. I have always been more of a math and science person. Much to my suprise, in college I found my mind expanding and beginning to enjoy english composition and humanities. I think my favorite class was Art Appreciation, it helped me to see more of the beauty in art and the world in general. I realized that if I went into a required class I was reluctant to take with an open mind I could get more out of it, and possibly even enjoy it. I feel my college experience has made me a much more rounded person and woken parts of my brain that were seldom used.

During my college experience I have not only learned academically, but also personally. I have learned about myself in ways that I could not have otherwise. I have been inspired by both classmates and professors. In high school I felt that being excited about school was nerdy, now I see that passion in others and it motivates me to find my own passions in life. I feel that my personal learning experience has been just as valuable as my classroom experience. I am a more complete and confident person because of attending college. I learned that not knowing something is nothing to feel dumb about, but rather an opportunity to become a more intelligent person. In life I have realized that I also need to take the chance to better myself and to discover new things about myself and about my world.

My college experience had taught me so many important lessons in which I would not have been able to learn otherwise. I spent my first semester as a college student at Northern Arizona University. There I didn't really fit in and it was hard to make friends. Being twelve hours from home taught me independence and really helped me mature. It also made me realize how important an education really is, I always saw the partiers failing and it made me never want to be like that, I took a vow to never drink. I transferred to Metropolitan State College the following semester and I feel in a way completely grown up. I know I have a lot to continue to learn but I got my priorities straight and I've never been happier. Education is something that can never be replaced, knowledge is forever with you and gaining it only betters you. I have already learned so much about history and life in general and I know I have so much more to discover and look forward to if I continue my education.

My college experience has been excellent so far! The faculty is great; they make the classes interesting and really care about helping the students reach their potential. I feel like they go above and beyond in offering a plethora of opportunities for students to perform, participate in master classes, and attend professional performances in the community, often at discounted pricing for students. My private teacher is phenominal! I have learned so much from her already, and my playing has improved significantly. She is helping me to become the musician I've always dreamed of being (mind you, it is a lifelong process). There are several reasons attending college is valuable to me, the first is to finish so that I can go on for an advanced degree in music. My goal is to become a great musician and teacher and help my students reach their musicial potential. My lifelong dream is to build a school of music, locally, that will foster music education at an early age and help to instill a love of music to all students that attend.

I have attended two colleges in my first year of college. This experiance has given me so much insight to myself and what college has to offer. I have learned that choosing to do what we want to do as individuals is key in our search for happiness. I have also learned; however, that we need to take big steps in order to see what we truly want. I wanted to go to the University of Las Vegas the minute I stepped on the campus for a tour. My decision was made then and after telling everyone that I was going to UNLV, my parents dropped the finacial bomb on me. I then ended up going to Metropolitan State College of Denver for a semester where my tuition was cheaper. The next semester I transferred to UNLV and thought my dreams were finally coming true. After spending months lonely and sad, I learned that my future was not in this party city, but surrounded by friends and family! If I hadn't taken that leap though, I never would have known what I really wanted in life. It was valuable becasue it allowed me to learn much more about myself.

Being in college for only half a year and still going strong i realized that life will throw challenges at you, and you'll be faced with two option; the option to handle the situation with respect or just give up and go home. The classes at metropolitain state college are like classes at any University, homework is the same, the teaching lessons are the same, and the speed of the class is the same. Curiculum no harder or any easier, it all comes down to how much time you put in on studying and dedication. In college studying is 50{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of all your classes to tell if your going to pass or fail, the other 50{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} is dedication to interact with classmates. If you follow both of these standards for college you'll find yourself growning up to become a sucessful person and adult. It all comes down to being responsable for balanceing time, money and social life, not letting any of these things effect eachother or putting one a head of the other. Keeping them balanced will help obtain that succesful life that every person wants to obtain.

Attendiong to college has giving me a great expirince because it has tought me how to be stronger and how ton star dependig on me and not on my family any more.It has tought me how to fallow my dreams and goals.

My past six months as a college student has been life altering in an unpredictale matter. Recevieving the recongnition and respect as an adult is what i have most valued. For much of our junior high and high school careers, we are told that school is our job, therefore we must act like adults . The administrations opinion of acting as adults is being held accountable for not only our actions but also being resonsible for our grades and means of aquiring those grades. Then, in the next breath, they mandate us to ask permission when in need of bath room facilities and refrain from using ink writing utensils for assignment. They also restrict cellular communcation, even when not in the class room, and satifying our hunger or thirst three hours proceeding our breakfast. In the collegic environment, students and professors coexsit as equals. Even if they request students not to destract themseves of the lecture by texting, they will not be hypocritically making phone calls on our learning time. I can not emphasis enough that respect is a two way road; you must give it to recieve it. Respect has made all the difference in making my college experience radiant.

In the past year and a half during my college experience I have become must more responsible because it's up to you and only you to do your work in your class and pay attention, which is completely different from high school. I feel like I have grown up a lot in the past year in a half because of my college experience. I believe that it is very valuable to attend college because I todays work place it is almost a requirement to have some type of college degree.

Though I have not complete my schooling here at Metro, I have definitely gained a lot of knowledge. I have learned from classes, professors, and just different students. We all have different interest and it is always good to be well rounded and be able to take things in from your surroundings and learn from them. Basically knowledge has been what I have gained so far and it is also the most valuable reason for attending Metro.
