The University of Texas at San Antonio Top Questions

As a second semester college freshman, I have little college life under my belt; however, I definitely could go back in time and give myself, as a high school senior, some tips. First word of advice, study and prepare extremely well for the first exam in each class. It is no fun playing "catch up" for a whole semester. It is better to be over prepared than under prepared for the first test; therefore, I can judge how much or how little I can study for future exams. Secondly, do not stress over a 'bad' grade. Learn from it, move forward, and do not have any regrets. Life is not made to dwell on the past. Lastly, the best part about college is the new experience, adventures, and people I encounter. I would tell myself to get involved, be open to new ideas, and to make new friends. As people say, "college is the best time of your life," enjoy it. All in all, I would tell myself to have an open mind and make the best of every bit of college because time is the one thing you cannot make up.

Do not take time off just get to it and then you have the time and money to get on with the rest of your life.

Yes

Take more classes in the summer. Take more math in high school because this will be extremly helpful.

I would tell myself to apply for as many scholarships as possible. Also I will tell myself not to stress out because even though college is difficult at times its manageable, fun, most of what you thought it was, and a new experience.

Durring my first semester at the University of Texas at San Antonio, I've learned how college really works. I've learned that it is my responsibility to keep up with my work. I've gained a newfound sense of pride for my university and have made many bonds with the community and staff. It has been very valuable to attend because it is close to home, safe, and an over all amazing and enjoyable experience for me.

When I started college at UTSA, I was looking for a chnace to find myself and what I was good at. Through the years at UTSA I have not only found out who I am but a have found that I am able to do far more than I thought. This school gave me independence and a chnace to take part in a new degree program, that has chnaged my life. The professors push me to see more than what has been presemted to me all of my life and to have my own opinions about things. My mind has been expanded and informed. UTSA was the right choice for me to get my college education.

I really love college life at University of Texas at San Antonio. I am living at UTSA's dorm. This dorm is very good, they have great Housing services. Independent character is very important when I attend college because no parents beside me and I have to decide everything such as class schedule, eating time, study time, hang-out time with friends, money earning for books, fee....College life makes me more mature, become a real adult., not like when I was a high school student. I will try studying very hard to get high grades, earn my first Bachelor Degree, start working for my parents' happiness and help my community in the future.

I went back to school after 23 years and did not lack very many hours to get my Associates. When I finished this year, the feeling of accomplishment was so amazing. Now I plan on going to Remington College for Medical Assisting with x-ray and ekg so that I can have a more stable career. I have been layed off 3 times from office managerial positions and need a more stable area of work . Thank you for this opportunity, I appreciate it very much.

My freshman college experience has taught me the valuable lesson of self-discipline. Untill this fall semester had started, I always had someone telling me to get up and go to school, or to finish my homework before I could hang out with friends. Once college started I was on my own terms of getting up and doing homework or projects. I learned the hard way that it is up to me to decide what I would be doing to finish my school tasks, it was up to me to put time aside to study and up to me to get up from my warm cozy bed and head out to class. Self-discipline is a valuable lesson to learn becasue it is something you are not taught in a classroom or from a parent. It is something you must learn on your own and can either break or make you. Self-discipline creates the fine line between child and adulthood. This comming semester I will use my new found knowledge to create a less stressful school year, one in which I can manage my priorities without having to dissapoint myself or my friends.
