Southern Utah University Top Questions

One thing that I will definatly take away from my college experience is the sense of freedom. It is just a good feeling to know that you can make your own decisions, make mistakes and learn from them, and make some new friends in the process. I am so glad that my parents made me live in an apartment. I got to experience having roommates and all the things that can happen when you live with them. Also, going to college has been valuable to me because I can use my education to get me where I want to be in life. I want to have a good career doing something that I love and be able to enjoy doing it for a long time. I am so glad that I made the choice to attend college.

When I was first going off to college I was terrified. I had no idea what it was going to be like or if I was going to be able to make a lot of friends. But once I got there it was completely different from what I'd anticipated. I studied hard and stayed caught up in work and things came pretty easy; it wasn't nearly as hard as I thought it'd be, as long as I focused and did my work. I made tons of friends and even had time to have fun. So, probably the most important thing I've learned so far from my college experience is that I decide how difficult it's going to be; I can let it get to me, slack off, procrastinate and make it hard, OR , I can enjoy it and relax, doing my work, putting in study time, and make it easier. Things are only how I make them out to be.

I have loved my experience here at Southern Utah University. The city that it is located in, is not very big, but neither is small. This makes it a great place for a college students. The SUU campus is very large and well taken care off. There are constenstly events being held at the school and the teachers usually try to learn each of their student's names. It is a great starting college and I plan on graduating with at least my associates from here this year, maybe even more. I would refer SUU to anybody looking for a college to attend.

Attending Southern Utah Universtiy and living away from home has helped me to discover more about myself. I have been able to learn how to better manage my time, and for someone that was a chronic procrastinator, this was a huge accomplishment. It has also helped me to become more confident in my abilities. In high school, I was a good student, but I think that I relied too much on the help of my parents and teachers. Going away to a university has helped me to see that I am capable of doing amazing things on my own. My college experience has also been extremely beneficial for my education as well. The university that I am attending is small. This has allowed me to take classes that are smaller and allow me, as a student, more attention and time with a teacher. The more personal attention that this has provided has given me the chance to learn more than I think that I would in a class of 500. Attending college has also helped me to make goals and discover ways to accomplish them. I have loved my college experience and am excited to continue to learn and grow.

Out of the small time I have been attending college I have learned a lot. Not only in the classroom but outside of it too. I have learned that college teaches you a lot of self disipline and that you have to know how to control your own future. Its not all about partying and having fun, or going to the sports events, but it's about learning life lessons and knowing this for the future you will get a lot out of going to class but its what you make out of the time outside of class that will really determine your life after school.

I think the most important thing I've learned by attending Southern Utah University is that people different from me are interesting people. It sounds cliche, but I never paid attention to the people that were different than me in high school. I hung out with my group of friends and never ventured out of my comfort zone. In college, I have no choice. I came here alone without any of my friends. I have to open up to people different than me, otherwise I'm going to be in for a lonely 4 years. I've discovered that the people I once thought were mean, dorks, weird, (insert any descriptive word here), are, for the most part, very interesting and friendly people! My world has opened up as I've tried new things and made new friends. These skills I'm learning now would have been very useful in high school and will be invaluable in my future.

I have gained a well rounded knowledge in different areas. I have been able to now focus on my major and learn about animals and agriculture which has helped me see what is important for the United States to keep. I have been able to get a good knowledge with a small amount of tuition which has been very valuable to me.

College has been the place where I have matured and gotten the most comfortable in my own skin. In four years I became someone that I always wanted to be, but never knew that I could possibly become. I became very independent, and self-motivated. I was able to get out of my own comfort zone, and fight for what I believed in. I fought for an education, I strived to become the best student I could be. All the while I loved what I did. Math was a very hard major to pursue, and I succeeding in overcoming all my struggles. I made new friends (many life long), and I learned how to become a people person. Everything I learned in my four years of college I will take along with me in this game called life, and i plan to win.

Going into college, I was undecided on my major. Through the help of my awesome professors at the community college, I was able to realize that teaching middle school science is my calling. I have always been deeply involved in my community's Special Olympic Team and Peer Partner extracurricular; I have been assistant coaching since my freshman year of high school! I have also realized that even at the community college level, just because i am not paying $40,000 dollars a year, does not mean I do not get an equal experience. I am a Student Ambassador at the College of DuPage in Illinois where I have a great time volunteering in my community and giving perspective students an informative campus tour. I have not only gotten to know myself better while at college, but become proud of who i am and my future.

It has made me the person I am today. Everything I have learned from the greatest minds in history has transformed me as a person and set my path in life in order.
