Thomas More College Top Questions

Take it more seriously, really learn from it, don't take any long breaks because you won't want to go back! Get it all done and have a little fun, then celebrate big time before getting a "real job".

If I could go back in time to high school and give myself advice, I would tell myself four things: FIrst, I would recommend taking more dual credit classes. I never took any, and for students who did, it was invaluable. I would try to get as many college generals out of the way as I possibly could before starting my freshman year. Second, I would say I needed to do Clep tests, especially for classes that I did really well in. I could have saved myself so much time by Clepping out of easy classes. Third, I would tell my younger self to research, research, research! I should research more about financial aid and preparing better for the transition from high school to a two-year college to a four-year university. Researching about transferring credits and programs of study available at the university I am looking at attending would also have helped. Fourth, and perhaps most importantly, turn in applications for school, financial aid, scholarships, housing, etc., in as early as possible. Do not wait until the last minute! Knowing the things I know now, transitioning from high school to college would have been a seamless, stressless progression.

Being able to talk to myself being a senior I would tell myself not to procrastinate. I would tell myself to look for scholarships at the start of the year. Also, I would tell myself to look into several schools, not just my dream school, and find some that will give me money to go there. I would want to know that there is still a way to go even without support from my parents. I would get emancipated and set myself up as independent like I am, but have the documentation in high school to prove it.

My advise to myself if I could go back to my high school self would be to not start out with 18 credit hour courses. I would say that it is alright to be on a five year plan where you would be able to have more time to study and give each course the attention that is needed. Going into the nursing career, there are some courses that need more attention than others. With that being said, by taking less hours, such as 13-15 hours verses 18, you will be able to spend the appropriate amount of time on each subject. Another thing that I would tell myself is that being in with the 'in' crowd isn't important. Hanging out with friends comes second to school. If there is a test that is coming up, do not procrastinate and wait till last minute to start studying. It isn't like in high school where it was easier to cram everything in that last night and still be able to get the 'A' that is expected.

I would advise to apply to any university in your state. Apply to every scholarship that is availiable to you, and stay on top of the FASFA. Try not to go to the same college as your friends. Go to a college out of town so you can get a groing up experience, meet new people, and learn how to be on your own. If you are having trouble looking into colleges turn to your teachers for help or contact the college representatives for help. Just do not be afraid of the unknown and go for what you want. Also be sure you get a job while in college. It will teach you how to be responsible and dependable.

Go on many different college visits. It will be in your best interest to look at every college and see what each college has to offer. Look at how often they offer classes and how reflexible they are. Talk to the professors in the education department and figure out if it will be a good fit for you. When you get to college, get involved in the activities that your college has to offer.

I would tell myself to enjoy life as a Senior because it will pass by so quickly, warn myself about certain guys to stay away from, but other than that I probably wouldn't change anything that I have done this far in my life so I don't have much advice.

That the classes are as hard as you make them. The more time you spend listening and taking good notes in class the easier the classes come. It is also very important that you spend extra time outside of the classroom studying, because that is when you pick up the most important information. Do not be afraid to meet new people and talk in class, because you learn more that way. Also, many professors want to help you, get to know them. Practicing time management is a very important trait to learn, the better you can manage time, the less stressed you will be.

I have had nothing but good experiences at Thomas More thus far. All the teachers that I have had so far are really nice and care about their students. They help their students one on one so that the student can get help if they need it. Playing football at Thomas More has allowed me to gain friends from all walks of life. The people at this school are very nice and they will help you with anything as well. Thomas More has proven that it is a great school for students that are trying to recieve a higher education.

Even though i have only been in college for one semester and just beginning my second semester i have learned so much. I have't learned things just in the class room but outside of the class room as well. I have learned that discipline and concentration may be the key to success.Tthe courses at this college demand so much time of your day that there needs to be a balance. At first i didn't understand how to balance but with the help of struggling and the help of my advisor i found different ways to balance my college life and my working life. Attending college is important to most people in their lifes but you never really know until you get older and see where people are standing without a college education. It has been so important to attend college because as an adult i want to be someone who can change something in this world. If i didn't come to college i wouldn't know how hard the fight would be or how much stronger i could become as a person. College is really shaping me into the person i want the world to see.

I came from a strong and proud family. My parents did not attend college and were happy to see me go to college. During my high school years I went to a technical highschool and was in a Electrical program I learned the back grounds of residential wiring and motor controls. I want to be different; I want to have my color to shine in my family. My senior year in high school, I took the opportunity to attend "Woman Engineers Convention”. I was able to learn and talk to professors and professional people in engineering and science field, my curiosity for science and engineering excelled. Attending college has opened a new light in my life and open doors. Going to engineering major in my family was difficult, because I was venerable to my peers in school. I took my venerability to expand my knowledge in science and math. Studying electrical engineering will not only allow me to investigate new technologies but it also gives me the opportunity to develop and focus on one my genuine interests. To be able to study engineering subjects and complete coursework at university, logical problem solving techniques and good time management skills are crucial.

I have gotten very much out of my college experience. I have learned so much not only in the classroom, but also through my friends and myself. I have learned that college is more difficult than high school, but this has made me a harder worker and better student. I have learned that my hard work pays off, and it has encouraged me to continue to work hard. I have also learned how to become a more independent and responsible person, which is going to only help me in the future. I have learned the value of education and how much it is helping me understand more about myself and the world everyday. It will allow me to get a good job that is right for me once I graduate. My college is a very valuable place to attend. It is a small school with small classes, so the teachers know who students are and can help them individually. Since classes are small, there is a lot of opportunity for individual growth. It also allows students to make close friends that they will see often and be able to go to when they need help.

Thomas More College was not my first choice. I started my college career at a larger state university. I became just a number at that college, none of my teachers would help me, and I made barely any friends. I transferred to Thomas More because it was small and close to my home. It was a complete 180 from my first college. My teachers knew my name at orientation when I met them, they are always willing to help. I have made so many life long friends and feel like I can talk to anybody on campus. Thomas More has gotten me out of my shell. I was a quiet girl that did not care too much about school. Now, because of my teachers, I can actually see myself graduating with a degree that I will care about and having a fun and challenging journey on the way to graduating. My only regret is that I did not come to Thomas More first before wasting time at a state college, but I can only grow from my mistakes.

I have gotten so much out of attending Thomas More College. Meeting new friends and going to an awesome nursing school is number one for sure. Playing softball and getting the full on experience of what college life is all about is second. I feel like attending Thomas More has been very valuable because I am getting a good education and also learning about my intended major. My teachers and classmates have been wonderful so far, and I dont look for it to change!

I got degree in Information systems from another country therefor there is few companies or employers consider it. So i deside to evaluate my old degree here in US and finish the required credit to get my degree officialy from US authorities.

I have spent almost a year and a half at Thomas More College, and I can honestly say that attending has been a tremendously valuable experience. Not only have I learn some interesting intellectual and academic theories and practices, but I feel as though in the small amount of time I have been there I have matured in a way that could only be possible at such a fine institution. Thomas More has helped me not only to understand the difference between micro and macro-economics, but it has helped me realize what I want to do with my life and what I need to do in order to get there. Thomas More's education program has instilled in me a sense of direction that I do not believe I could forget even if i wanted to. The personal attention the professors give has been an example for me of how I want to relate to my own future students. Perhaps most importantly, Thomas More has taught me an acute sense of responsibility to myself and to others. Attending Thomas More has shown me that I have an obligation to those around me - something I do not take lightly.

What I have gotten out of my college experience are very positive things. I have learned that continuing my education is very important. I have gotten the experience of becoming an individual and have learned that not everything is easy as it seems. It has been very valuable to atttend because not many are able to go because of they might not have support and mostly because not many have money to pay for college. Thankfully, I got the help of financial aid which helps me pay for college and thats very valuable because its hard to get a job and pay for college. I have also learned that failing a class in college is not any little thing. It really affects my career goal and the help I'm getting from financial aid. It has been very valuble to attend college because going to college and furthering my education is the only thing that can guantee me that I will have a stable job and live comfortable.

Well I attended a community college about a year ago, and there I figured out really quick that balancing life, work and school, is an art. Then at NKU I learned that really when it comes to your future you have to let nothing stop you, life is a path and there will be stumbling blocks, failure happens, the question is whether or you see these stumbling blocks as road blocks or speed bumps. When you come on a speed bump you have to slow down and look at things, get it together and never give up just roll right over it. That why after I had to withdraw from NKU I immediately applied to three colleges, the one I'm most loving of is Thomas Moore college, so I may have hit a bump but I'll never quit my pursuit.

The decision to go to school at my age was a scary one. Some of the reasons being, a fear of not being able to accomplish what I set out to do and simply not being smart enough. Since I have attended Thomas More, I have learned so much about myself, my discipline, and my ability to follow through on my committment to myself. The experience has been one that has opened my eyes to the possibility of so much opportunity. I've gained friendships amongst my peers and learned that I have the potential to be an amazing leader. With every class I have completed, I have gained confidence, become knowledgable about business, and what it takes to be in effective leader. What once seemed scary at the start of the program, now seems attainable. I have no more doubts of failure but rather a hope and excitement for the moment I recieve my degree and the feeling I will have of what I have accomplished.

It has helped me to view the world in a whole new way and to be more open minded to new ideas. College really took me out of my comfort zone, but it has helped me to grow and to become far more patient and responcible than I was before. I know my education will help me to achieve my dreams in the future, and to me that is more valuable than anything else in the world.
