Syracuse University Top Questions

Jason, Love college, but, focus harder on your academic work, while still being balanced. Remember to work on your fitness from the start and begin a serious work out plan as soon as you arrive. Make one good friend. Order a cell phone to keep in contact with old friends.

In the past four months that I have been a student at Syracuse University, I have gained so much valuable experience, and this does not include learning to do my own laundry. Although four months does not seem like a very long time, so much has happened to me since I first arrived here. From my first college classes to living on my own, I have really learned a lot about myself and what I am truly capable of. Being a college student is an entirely different ball game from being a high school student, which I discovered after failing a test for the first time in my life. I have learned that the library is my second home, whether I like it or not. Although I haven't quite mastered it, I am slowly learning the art of time management, a very valuable skill. With only one semester completed, I already feel that my mind has expanded in ways I could've never imagined before. Gaining so much insight from so many different people has been of great value to me already, and its only the beginning I wouldn't dream of trading my college experiences for anything else.

While at Syracuse University I have learned a lot about my career and what I want to do in my life, both profesionally and with my personal life as well.

I think college taught me how to think and plan as an individual. It didn't quite give me all the tools to behave like a fully functional grown-up, but it ensured that I didn't look like a dumbass trying to figure it out . Education is essential, but towards the end of my undergraduate experience I began to realize that independence was its own education. My course-work was of course the most important part of going to Syracuse, but I learned just as much from laundry as I did from books.

my college experience has given me more that I could have ever expected. It has challenged me academically while also giving me the enjoyment of big time athletics and meeting a variety of different people. COming from a small town, going to college was eye-opening for me. College has taught me how to take on challenges and become a better person. I never would have expected to be friends with some of the people that I am friends with. I have experienced and learned things that I never thought possibel. I wouldn't trade my experience for the world.

I have learned through the many wonderful instructors at Columbus state that even though i am much older than most of the students and even some instructors, that with an instructor that loves to teach and wants people to learn that anyone can suceed. It takes a special person to be an instructor at community college, they need to have the desire to teach those who want to learn. Because of such instructors, I now believe I can finally reach my goal of becoming an RN.

I have been able to grow in ways that I did not know were possible within such a short period of time thanks to this incredible university. I have learned and grown as a person, an artist, a friend, and a student. I think that this has been such a valuable experience for me because it has opened my eyes to new subjects and ideas that I had not explored before, and has challenged me in ways I would not be able to have experienced had I not gone to Syracuse. I am constantly learning and thinking and creating on a daily basis, and the faculty has provided a nurturing and academically stimulating environment, which has enabled me to have a strong point of view regarding the world around me, and my individual work. I have learned how to live with people who have very different backgrounds than myself, and have had to figure out ways in which to find common bonds despite differences we may have. College above all has taught me the tools and foundation I need to excel in the professional world, and how to live independently as an adult through the setting of this incredible university.

So far, I have only been accepted to Syracuse University, College of Arts and Sciences. I will be attending this University in the Spring of 2011. I took a semester off so I could learn about the world around me and earn tuition money. With this time off, it has made me appreciate the value of school and how much I miss learning. I cannot wait until I enter the University of my choice. I hope with all my heart that I can win this scholarship as I have to pay for my tuition myself with no other outside help!

I learned social skills valuable for life and made irreplacable friendships. I networked and worked hard to learn communication skills. I love Syracuse University and the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications! I can't wait to move to Los Angeles and work for an advertising agency.

I have learned to be strong about my opinions, and to be well researched in them, which allows me to portray my view in a more direct and effective way. I am still shy about this sometimes, but I believe Syracuse has provided me the tools and opportunity to make my points strong. I have no immersed myself into drinking and thrown-away weekends, and I've never felt pressured to do so at Syracuse; but then again I also had a strong will to keep away. I have seen students who don't care about studies - and this has helped me to realize what I really have here, and how I should use it to my advantage. Unfortunately, I did not see all of the wonderful opportunities available to me until my senior year (or at least not seized until then), but I am still able to make up for some lost opportunities through the help of staff and higher level courses. I don't feel I would have been offered the same courses had I gone to another school, and the information provided there is irreplaceable and, in my opinion, would not be found in any other university.
