The University of Texas at Arlington Top Questions

My college experience at UTA has been wonderful. There are many things that I have learned like all the competition there is, life isn't easy, and it's not all partying and fun. I am studying to be a nurse and there is a lot of competition to get in the nursing school. At UTA , I have learned we have to try our best and be better than others if we want to accomplish our goals. Growing up my parents always did everything for me and it made life seem easy. Now I know that I have to do stuff on my own if I want to make it in life. I will have to be responsible and hardworking to have my wants and needs. Before I attended UTA people would say that college was all about parties and having fun but instead I had to study a lot and be focused in school. It has been very valuable to attend college because I learned a lot more things that i didn't know about life. If I continue to go to school I will be full of knowledge and work as a nurse like I have always wanted.

College is a place where students mature, grow, and excel in life. Through my college career, I have fervently learned persistence, patience, and dedication. College is not always effortless; there is a time for fun, but also a time for hard work and dedication. It requires the student to think towards the future; how do I want to be remembered as? Do I want to make a difference? I have found my answers at the University of Texas at Arlington. I have learned to make wise decisions, and set further goals for me to achieve in my life. I believe I have learned to never give up, any matter how hard the class, how strict the teacher, or how tough the project.

In my time as a student, at UTA, I have had the chance to be enlightened by the most inspiring professors around. They have opened my eyes to what has shaped my world, and my social identity. They have shown me how to creatively articulate my interpretations of these ideologies, all the while being able to back my findings with credible support. When I refer to creativity, I am not merely suggesting that my ability to create completely new concepts or analytical perceptions of ideologies has come unhinged. I am suggesting that they have shown me how to understand the ideologies that structure our world. I am able to recognize through a feminine scope the texts that uphold these dominant patriarchal ideologies. In my career I hope to offer some enlightenment to the students out there who were not aware of the ideologies that are surrounding our everyday life. My goal is to give to other students the eye-opening skills that my current professors have given me. I hope to give students the ability to not just read a text, but to also understand the social constructs surrounding every text.

I have enjoyed beng a part of a big university and being able to pursue my educational goals.

I like my school. It is a pretty big school but not so big that you don?t see your friends walking around campus at the same time. There are a ton of student organizations to be a part of. I have met 80{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of my friends through these. I am involved in multiple student organizations on campus. When the fall semester starts up again, I will be a cadet sergeant in the Army ROTC Maverick Battalion which I been a part of for two years. I was on my Dormitory Hall Council for two years as well. The Hall Council is a group of resident volunteers that promote community involvement within their dorm by putting on different events throughout the school year. This past semester I became a member of the fraternity Sigma Phi Epsilon. I joined the peer-mentoring program UTA Hosts and I am looking forward to helping two freshmen become accustomed to college life and get them involved in some of the many on-campus organizations. I love all my experiences at UTA. The education is great and I love all my friends.

I have gotten so many things out of my college experience at UTA that it's almost hard to describe it in 200 words! Firstly, I have gained so many relationships wether it be with fellow students or professors. Students and professors at UTA are kind, friendly, and are the type of people that look out for you. Before entering UTA, I had my "best friends", but they all went their seperate ways. At UTA, the people that I have met and befriended have completely filled that void. Secondly, another important thing that I have gained from my experience at UTA is a sense of respect for not only my professors, but all professors in general. I have always heard up to entering college that professors are mean, bitter, and dont care about you or your grades, but that was proven wrong when I entered UTA. The past two semesters at UTA, I was blessed with caring and intellegent professors. I was able to build quick relationships with all my professors.

My college experience gave me the opportunity to experience cultural diversity. I also experienced intellectual growth academically and socially. Also attending college prepared me to enter the work force by the simulation of group projects that modeled real world work place circumstances. During my college experience I also learned how to meet deadlines, be focused, and driven to achieve goals even if they seem unattainable. I also learned how to perform projects with a high degree of integrity. The decision to further my education is valuable to me because I feel that knowledge is the key to having a successful and promising career and future. Furthermore, my college experience is also valuable because it provided internship opportunities that prepared me to successfully enter the job market.

For years, I had heard of the experience. Getting involved in organizations, upholding leadership positions, living on campus, choosing schedule days and times, challenging yourself with rigorous course wok, and the all time favorite of eating practically whenever you so chose, was only halfof it. Now that I am actually living the experience, I now can add on to the other half. As a current full time freshmen in college, I have enjoyed participating in campus wide organizations as well as in smaller committees. I love the conveniency of living on campus and I take pride in supporting such a diversified community. But most of all, I appreciate my learning experience. The University of Texas at Arlington has dedicated faculty and staff that strive to make student's education as rewarding as possible and for this I am grateful. I know of no better university that encourages learning with the intensity that UT Arlington does. I truly value my choice of attending this university because I know that it will prepare me for the road ahead. UT Arlington prepares its students for success; failure is not an option. I cherish all that is offered, all learning opportunities, and all experiences.

I learned a myriad of things in college. In addition to things of an academic nature, I learned life skills. I learned to never limit yourself or assume you cannot reach your goals. I learned to accept and value other people that may be different from you in many ways. I learned to aim high and always give your best effort; you never know what you can achieve until you try. I learned that people are generally all the same; we want to succeed, be want to feel safe, and we want to be loved. Being a student is not just about studying and going to class, it's about engaging yourself in a world you will only experience for a few years. You have to make the most of it and take chances. Most importantly, do not resist inevitable change. You cannot grow if you resolve to stay the same.

I have gotten out of my college experience to be a person who is determined to work hard for what I want in life. Life is not easy but it worth living. My college experience has let me view life in a different aspect, and has lead me to believe that very thing is possible. It has been valuable to attend college because I have learn many things that now help me face the problems in life. I am independant and responsible. College gives a person knowledge, something no one can ever take away, and knowledge is power.
