Pennsylvania College of Technology Top Questions

I have gotten so much already out of my college expierence. My confidence keeps growing every day and I have the school to thank for that, the classes are small enough where i feel comftorable to ask questions and get everything i can out of my learning expierience. In the future I know that I am going to learn even more because culinary students at PennCollege have a chance to go to the Kentucky derby and cook for it. I have learned so much in my semester here and I know that there is so much more to come. I've learned to be independent in every aspect of my life including school, work, tests, and home life. Also the friends I have made here I know will stay with me for a long time and I am so happy to have this college expierence be at Pennsylvania College of Technology.

If I could go back in time as a high school senior, I would say to myself do not stop trying. Your dream is to be a nurse and you should work harder now that you are ready to graduate. In years to come with all the valuable knowledge and experience, you will be an asset in the medical field. You will have the experience to help your patient through the toughest of times. If you do not go for your dreams now and wait until it is almost too late the struggle will be harder and you may even give up. Don?t ever give up, go for it now while you are young it will be worth it.

Even though you end up getting the same diploma as the person with a 2.0, GPA does matter! Study hard but make sure to save time to go out and have a fun with friends. Don't go home every weekend, some of the best parties and shopping trips happen on the weekendsAs much as dining hall food sucks, it sucks even more to eat ramen noodels everyday so make sure you get some type of meal plan, food is expensive. Go greek! best decision I ever made my sisters are with me for life and have gotten me through some tough times. Live on campus at least a year, you will meet a lot of great people. Live off campus for at least a year, it is so great when you get your first apartment,until the utility bills come (buy a snuggie they save on the heating bill in the winter). DO NOT get a credit card, if you can't afford it now then you can't have it. Most of all HAVE FUN and ENJOY EVERY MOMENT!!!!!!

To definately stay with the living on campus choice. There may be more rules but, it kind of forces you to be more responsibile and manage your time better. And I would probably tell myself to not skip that one library English class that I will have.

I WOULD LET MYSELF KNOW THAT I NEED ALOT OF MONEY AND IT TAKES ALOT OF STUDY TIME AND SELF CONTROL TO GO TO COLLEGE . AND I WOULD ALSO TELL MYSELF TO BE READY FOR THE REAL WORLD AND LIFE CHANGES.

I would say that to follow your heart and go where you fill best fits you. I would attend carrer days that help you decide where and what you want to do with your life. Get out and meet new people and exerience the culture diversity. Know that when you work hard, you always deserve to have fun and give yourslef a break sometimes. Just be yourslef.

Understand that college is going to be like the major leagues. Now is the time to be more focused on the outlook of your future, know where you want to go in life and what you want to do for the rest of your life. If your heart and mind is set on something like a career that most interests you, then stick with that and never give up. Realize that college is the smartest and most important step to take in getting you closer of accomplishing your long term goals in life. Getting that college degree under your belt will furthermore give you endless career opportunities making you a minority because of your education background. The transition into college is one of several transitions you will be faced with in life and now isn't the time to back out but to move foward, be brave and have confidence in yourself that you will be successful in the future to come.

College is definitely a weird transition. I was very homesick for the first 2 weeks and felt I didn't have any friends. My advise to my high school self is to go to a college where you will know a lot of people. This way you wont feel alone and in the long run you will be able to make more friends. I'm a shy girl so its not easy making new friends, knowing more people before going to college will make it easier to cope with being homesick. You will always have someone to eat lunch with or do homework with and have fun with.

To take more advanced classes in high school to prepare me for college.

If i could go back to senior year i would tell myself to stop messing around and get a jump start on scholarship and application on my major. i would have studied more, and possible taken flight classes at the local community college. flying is what i have always wanted to do ever since i was little and even though i will get there someday i wish i would have got myself more prepared in high school.
