University of Arizona Top Questions

It's a great experience. Even if it's a community college, i think everyone should go to a community college first and experience how it's like. And then transfer to a university, so we can experience how it's like to attend a university. Everything I did and will do at my college is an experience on life. When I grow up and look back I don't want to regret that I went to a community college because it's what made me get to where I will be and that I'd look back and thank everyone that was with me. It's valuable to attend my college because every step counts. I'd rather go to school than no school at all and throw my life away.

By graduating from college I will be able to fulfill my dreams and help my community, without which I would most likely not be in college.

Well to start off I think it is valuable to attend college because it would be extremely hard to obtain a job, and even more a career, without a college degree. I have gotten several things out of my first two years of college. For instance by taking test I have learned you need to study and be prepared for anything in your career. Also to never give up and work hard. If you start out slow and with bad grades you can work harder and bring those grades up by the end of the semester. But most importantly I have learned that it is not all about working hard. You can not get too caught up in your career or grades that you do not take time for yourself and do things you love to do. So it really is all about balance. Well that is just a few things I have learned my first two years of college and I am excited to see what I will learn the rest of the time I am in college.

I recently started back to school on a whim with obtain a college education as my only goal. As a new student I was required to take a Success in College and Life course. I didn’t think I needed this course since I have college experience, I am 35 years old, married and have three children. However, it is required so I signed up for the course. I was surprised to learn valuable information that will help me study and how to organize my busy life with school. The course also provided resources that I will be able to use throughout my college years. It also lead me down the path to choose a major in Art/Graphic Design and Spanish. This experience has taught me that no matter how I feel about a certain course I will surely find value in it if I go in with an open mind and I am willing to learn.

Out of my college experience I have become a more confident person along with stepping up and taking leadership roles.

Many of these life skills will help me with things such as, finding a job in the real world, building strong relationships with my colleagues and and supervisor, creating useful connection and giving back to the people that need assistance.
