I am a freshman at Southern Utah University. Moving out for college was really exciting, but scary at the same time. I decided to live on campus, which gave me the opportunity to meet more of my fellow classmates. I have learned more responsibility and also learned that the more effort I put into my education, the more I get out of it. I am responsible for my education. In high school it was easy just to do the minimum amount of work required to get by. In college, I could do that, but I value the things I'm learning in college. When I put more effort in my assignments, and give it my best, I get more out of the class. I feel like attening college has been very valuable. This is only my first semsester in college, and I have already learned so much. I'm always excited to learn more, and the things I'm learning will not only benefit my future career, but will help me in all areas of my life.

I have been able to become more passionate about learning and to have a stronger desire to work for my degree. I have been able to explore my educational options and figure out what careers are possible for me. My advisors have helped me to stay on course for graduation. My attendance at Southern Utah University has been valuble in expanding my understanding of the world around me and has helped open my eyes to multiple career possibilities for my degree.

I've learned to become an independent adult learning to fend for myself and manage my time wisely. I've learned when and how to say no when parties and other fun things I would want to do conflict with other more important priorities conflict with my school work. Being in college has also allowed me to immerse myself in diversity and become friends with those people I didn't normally associate with in high school. I have friends from all over the world and am constantly introducing myself to more people. My self-confidence has improved ten-fold since arriving at SUU. I hope that I will continue to learn and grow academically as well as in maturity and worldly wisdom. Going to college has been the best decision I have made in my life time.

The last few years of my life have been so pivitol that they have changed who I am and made me a better person. I owe these changes to my attendace at Southern Utah University. I have not only been taught to believe in myself, but to believe in others around me. The friendships I've made with my classmates, and my proffesors are those that will last me a lifetime. I can make career decisions and be confident in them because I know I have friends, professors and a good education to back me up. I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to work as a Resdient Assistant for my University, and through that experience i learned how to help others, while being helped by my residents as well. I think SUU is a fantastic institution, it gives students private attention at a public value, which is something that has kept me coming back every year. My attendance and involvement at Southern Utah University is so valuable because I know I will be successfull in all of my future endeavors. I have enough knowledge and confidence to change the world!

My college experience has been amazing so far. Not only am I learning new things about subject I am passionate about from my professors but I am also learning from my fellow students. In my classes I have met people from all walks of life. From the ex-military personal to the parents and grandparents, each has their own story to tell and a shared passion of higher education. Interacting with them has shown me that college is valuable to attend, not only to get a degree, but also to broaden my view of different opinions and of the world.

A sense of accomplishment that I haven't felt from anything else that I have done. Confidence. A very good job with good pay. Job security. Some admiration from others. Use the skills learned to volunteer and help others. Knowing I can take care of myself and be on my own during college. Student loans were worth it and have since paid them off as planned. Friendships. Great memories.The greatest benefit was the completion of a long term plan/goal. Realizing because of college that there are a lot of things I can accomplish if I want to.

My college experience has been an eye-opener. I am definately more aware of my responsibilites as an adult living on my own. I have learned so much, both inside and outside of the classroon. I realize how important it is for me to get a degree in order for me to afford all the things I want in my life, and in order for me to make a living. I took most things for granted when I was in high school, but college has really opened my eyes to the reality of it all. It is so valuable to attend college and be a part of the school. You gain experiences you can't get anywhere else and you make friendships that will last a lifetime. I am so thankful to be going to college and so grateful to my excellent professors for helping me pursue my dreams.

My college experience has given my the experience and the confidence necessary to move on to the next level, which for me is law school. They were were able to help me with the financial aspect as well because I will graduate debt free. Plus, they gave me the small classroom sizes, individual help, etc that I needed to grow as a student by being able to participate regularly and get into a law school for the 2010-2011 academic year.

From my college education I have been able to learn things I thought I was not capable of. The professors here have found a way to make me excited to learn. I never thought that was possible. The school has a great student support center where I can get all the help I need without feeling dumb or slow. They are very supportive and helpful. School has valuable because of my education. Even if I never used my degree, it has been great to learn all that I have. I have been able to make new friends and found some very great examples. I have found professors who have inspired me to be a better person and believe in myself.
