University of Colorado Boulder Top Questions

Thanks to my college experience I have learned more about different cultures and different people than I had ever imagined. Not only in the classroom can I feel myself learning but also outside at the many cultural and social events. I know more about my world and feel that although I am only one person, I can make a large difference. It has been valuable to attend college becuase without this information I could not make the change that is necessary to make the world a better place.

Growing up in what I would describe as a typical suburban - mostly Caucasian area didn't allow me to meet a wide variety of people. CU is known for having a diverse student population so as my understanding of people from different cultures and backgrounds grew, my college experience was also increasingly enhanced. As a freshman, I elected to be randomly placed with another freshman when applying for housing. I soon learned my roommate was bisexual, had an extremely different group of friends than I did, but that despite all our differences we could accept one another for the people we were inside. Phoebe and I got along much better than I think I would have with even my closest friends and the experience of getting to know someone so different than myself is not an uncommon one at CU. Meeting diverse individuals has allowed me to better understand myself and learning how to communicate with so many different types of people and being able to accept them as individuals is a life lesson I will forever be thankful for.

The experience I got out of college was amazing. The knowledge I received is priceless. I want to be a role model for the next generation, for my children and grandchildren.

The biggest thing I expected and indeed got out of my college experience was the foundation for the rest of my life. I found an area of medicine that I loved and was able to efficiently and sufficiently set myself up for getting into and completing medical school. College also allowed me to find who I was as a person. It was the first time I lived away from my family, the first time I was completely responsible for my well-being, finances, and happiness. It was a no mere walk in the park, but I felt like I became a complete person after those four years. I gained not only the knowledge my school did so well to impart upon me, but I also gained the confidence and optimism that I have today. For me, college really opened my eyes to everything that is out there in the world and the diverse spectrum of people that is harbors.

My undergraduate education allowed me to explore my interest in psychology and biology. The strong scientific foundation that I gained at the University of Colorado was essential in preparing me to enter into a position as a research assistant in Pediatric Psychopharmacology at Massachusetts General Hospital. My experiences in neuroscience and social science, combined with my work in research solidified my decision to pursue a career in healthcare. I am confident that my previous coursework has provided the necessary framework to allow me to be successful in graduate school. My education will ultimately allow me to achieve my goals of working in underserved areas and initiating health education programs. I am thankful that I have been given the tools and opportunities to succeed, and I plan to fully utilize the education I have obtained in order to make a difference in the world, one patient at a time.

College is awesome. Being in such a educational enviroment makes me feel right at home. The professors

The most important thing I have gotten out of my college experience is knowledge. I took classes in different areas of studies to gain a broad background. I am completing my degree in Psychology but for me to help others I need to be educated in my field of study and also in classes that broaden my thoughts. It is important for me to be tolerant of others, accepting of others, and to embrace others for our similarities and differences. Our differences make us unique and important to each other. By taking classes in different areas I was given the opportunity to develop an interest in Psychology and Communications. This has made my college experience so far, important and valuable. I am looking forward to further opportunities at a different college to continue my education. With new knowledge comes more opportunity to serve and help others and to grow as an individual person. Thank you for this opportunity.

A sense of accomplishment that I haven't felt from anything else that I have done. Confidence. Some admiration from others. Use the skills learned to volunteer and help others. Knowing I can take care of myself and be on my own during college. Friendships. Great memories.The greatest benefit is completing a long term plan/goal. Realizing because of college that there are a lot of things I can accomplish if I want to. I emphasize a growth in knowledge, the understanding of the world and different cultures, and the kind of education that will make me deemed well-rounded.
