Unity College Top Questions

I gotten out a lot of growth expriences. I have became a much more mature person in my time at my college. I have comitred lots of hours into community service. Along with learning a lot about the environment.

I have gotten mostly the experience of education and in the field of ecology by going into this school. Classes are all focused around the central idea of the environment and sustainability, which I think has benefited me greatly in this world of being "green." I feel that I am becoming more knowledgeable in the field science, which I find to be extremely valuable for me, especially when considering future careers. I have also met people with similar interests and life goals. Going to Unity College has allowed me to grow as a person as I am constantly experiencing new things both inside and outside of class, such as research techniques and how to balance school work and social life.

Education cannot be taken away from you, my knowledge is not going anywhere and thats not something you can put a value on. My school as well as every other school has managed to put a value on knowledge each semester when bills are sent out but little do they know, thats only a number. One bold number cannot represent what I am actually taking away from four years spent on one campus. College is also leaving impact on my bank account and I will be paying for this opportunity for decades. Decades is a long time. If things work out, I will also be benefitting from these four years for decades. Again, decades is a long time. The people I have made connections with are going to last me a lifetime, personally and professionaly, and I plan on using my experiences to their full potential following my passion for wildlife management. I do not know what makes an essay stand out, what needs to be said in order to be the one winner of a prize, is it too good to be true? Strangers handing me money for school? I guess it's worth a shot anyways. Thanks.

I have found a renewed passion for the major I am in and people who are on the same wavelength as me. I have also founds links to places around the United States.

One thing I have received from my college experience is the freedom to think. During high school, you are told how to think and what to think about and when to think. In college the professors encourage the broad spectrum of thinking and want to engross you in to give a thorough analysis what an author wrote in a story or essay or textbook. Learning to think creates questions that you may not normally ask if you were not to stop and think of why a piece was written the way it was written. With the knowledge to comprehend thinking, it gives me more of a reason to attend class regularly and to continue my education to teach others to think openly.

It has always been clear to me as to why one should attend college. In order to get a successful career and live life to the fullest, you must gain the proper knowledge and degree. However, when you think of the college experience, you don't often think that you will be learning how to appreciate and save the Earth! Attending Unity College has got to be the smartest decision I have ever made. By coming to this small town in my home state I have gained practical knowlege about our environment, friendships that will last a lifetime, and a passion for the outdoors. It has become clear to me that we really need to become more aware of our actions towards this planet, because continuing on the path we are on will lead to difficult times!

The most important thing that i have gotten out of my college experience so faristhe importance of education. It's been valuable to me because it has shown me how much i need an education to survive, and that makes me value it so much more. In my life recently i stopped performing well in my college courses, which caused me to termporarily loose my financial aid. I called my school and they told me i could get it back in the spring of 2011, but i would have to go to school in the Fall of 2010 and pass all of my classes with a C or higher. This situation caused me to struggle because this meant i had to pay for my own way to go to school in the fall. I found out it was going to costs me up to twelve hundred dollars for school. This situation has taught me that school is everything because without you can go nowhere in life. For those who have other dreams outside of school remember it's okay to have them just make sure you have a college education so there is something for you to fall back on.

Unity College has enabled me to succeed in many of my goals for this year. The teacher's know your name and will even seek you out. I have gained for knowledge from Unity this year than I even thought I would. It is empowering to know that I have learned skills that I will be using in my career. The hands-on experiences I have had at Unity have allowed me to see these skills in the real world and it makes me very excited. I have improved my GPA significantly and I love attending Unity College.

Since i'm only in my second year, I feel like I haven't fully experienced college at its fullest.So far what I have gotten out of it is that time is precious and that you have to use it wisely. Being able to go to school is such a valuable experience for anyone. Even in the little time i've been going to my school, I feel like the information given to me is reliable and will be useful to me when I become a veterinarian. Not only is my lectures good, the friends I've obtained are long lasting. We help each other in times of need and just have fun. I'm glad I've chosen to go to college.

The biggest thing that I have gotten out of my college experience so far is that I have been able to see how dedicated I truly am for what I am passionate about. College has been more difficult than I thought it would be, so seeing how much passion I have for getting my degree has really helped me not only in college, but in life. I am much stronger and more capable now thanks to what I have gotten out of my college experience than I ever knew before. This has been valuable to attend college because the skills and lessons that I learn in the classroom are also applicable to everyday life. Without my college experience I do not think I would be able to do many of the things that I have been doing in my college life thus far. Overall, college has helped me in many ways and without my experience in college I would not be the strong and passionate woman I am today.

I AM A FIRST YEAR STUDENT AN ALTHOUGH I HAVE BEEN AT WESTWOOD FOR ONLY A FEW WEEKS I HAVE LEARNED A HIGHTEN SENSE OF AWARENESS TOWARDS TIME MANAGEMENT , GOOD STUDY HABITS ,AND THE ABILITY TO FUCUS BETTER ON A MULTIPUL TASK DAY TO BE BETTER ORGINIZED FROM DAY TO DAY. IN SHORT KNOWLEDGE IS POWER AND IF USING THE RESOURCES AROUND U PROPERLY ANY DREAM CAN BE MADE INTO REALALITY.

Because this is my first year of college ever, I was unsure of what is was going to be like. After the initial bout of homesickness, I began to feel like Unity really could be a second home. The professors all go by their first names, and class sizes are so small (largest is maybe 50 people) that students and professors get to know each other very well. Students are in so many classes together that they get to know each other very well. Unity has been very valuable to attend because of the rural setting and the size of the school. There are only about 500 full time students, which is very nice if you are like me and prefer a small school. Because the college is in such a rural setting, there is an abundance of nature everywhere and this is a wonderful thing.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, there isn't all that much that I would tell myself. Maybe I would tell myself to pack a few more jeans, or to bring an extra pack of cards, or maybe I would remind myself not to forget my photo album. But when it comes to college life and making transitions, there isn't that much I could tell myself. As a high school senior many people that I trust and love were giving me advice on just that, advice that I took and followed to the letter. And thanks to them, adjusting to college life has been a breeze. So thank you Matt, Tina, Melissa, and everyone else who ever gave me advice on how to get through college... so maybe there is something that I would tell myself. I would tell myself not to stress out so much, and to remember to thank everyone every chance I got.

If I could go back and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would make sure that I did my best my senior year, kept my nose clean, and to work hard. Senior year was especially rough for me. I was working though a co-op program as well as taking night courses for my EMT-Intermediate. Start managing money now, you will need it very soon. It is much different learning to love on a lot less money. Downsize your stuff and buy lots of totes. They are a life saver! Buy a mini fridge....and a microwave. Do these things, and college will be a bit easier.

If I had the experience I do now I would have worked to get all A's in my classes. I also would have taken the AP test for psychology and hopefully have passed. This would have allowed me to fill the time slot I am taking psychology with another class. I also would have buckled down on filling out scholarships. As of now I have student loans and my parents have another set of parent loans, the first from my sister. The last thing I would have done is been more outgoing. When first moving into my dorm people were really friendly, but I was a little shy. The first day I kept my door open yet wasn't sure about all of the people. If I could change that, I would have kept more of an open mind and instead of just keeping my door open I should have gone out in the hallway and introduced myself to as many people as I could see.

I would tell myself to keep an open mind while looking for colleges to attend and making the transition into one. It is very important to go into college with an open mind because the people that you meet will probably be very different from the ones you knew at home, be it in their views, or in their personalities. I came into Unity expecting to find the same people I was good friends with in high school, and I feel like that expectation hindered my ability to make new friends as well as I could have if I hadn't done that. Keeping an open mind about other beliefs is also really important because in college there are so many different people with different experiences leading them to believe a certain way. Part of learning, and experiencing college, is to listen to different stories and opinions without judgement to better form my beliefs on similar subjects. I would definitely inform myself as a senior, to go into college with a positive, judgement free attitude, and keep an open mind.

If I were a high school senior again I think that I would tell myself to be more organized and prepared for classes. I would also tell myself not to wait until the last moment to get reading or studying done. I would pace myself and keep current from the beginning of the class right up until finals.

To pick Unity College to go to. This is the school you want to go to, especially for your major you want to achieve to go on to a great job that is your dream!

Make sure you sign up for a lot of scholarships!!!

My biggest advice would be to make sure that you feel that they are challenged academically. It's important to feel pushed and that the knowlege you are attaining at school is due to hard work and determination. If a student is not challenged, they will never meet thier true potential. The second importance is not to settle. Though a second choice college may offer more financial aid, its important that the student goes to their first available choice. Thirdly, go with your gut when making your decision and remember that no decision is final and transfering is always an option if the college that you chose doesn't work out.
