University of Kentucky Top Questions

I've gotten a combonation of education and hands on experience at my college, which is what made it valuable to attend. By being able to have two internships, I have not only gained valuable experience, but I've also had the opportunity to network with individuals in the field that I want to have a career in.

I've gotten very valuable information from my previous college, Florida Career College. The program that I attended was Health Insurance billing and Coding. The teachers weren't very uplifting but assumed my position as a student and taught on my own. I crossed a rocky road but I make a quick recovery and eventually graduated.

I loved going to Kalamazoo Valley Community College. I went for their American Sign Language program and graduated in May of 2010. The teachers were very helpful, and thanks to them, I am more knowledgeable about the Deaf community and how to communicate with the Deaf. The program is a two-year certificate of achievment program, and I hope to be able to use my certificate to help the Deaf people of Van Buren County in the future. The staff at KVCC help with financial aid, buying books, counseling for the undecided majors, and many other things. The campus is beautiful, with a large library, gorgeous student center, and a very helpful Learning and Tutoring center. I have met many new friends through the socials that the college plans, and there are many other opportunities for interacting with the other students. The teachers are so nice, helpful, and they all have the students' best interest at heart. They are all there to help each student reach his or her full potential in the area of study they are in. I would highly recommend KVCC to any student in the Kalamazoo area looking for a two-year community college to attend.

My college experience has been short so far, but it has been a very sweet one. I have already learned a lot about the real world and all the different types of people living in it all around me. I have made life long friends and had experiences that you see in movies. I've learned who I want to be and how I want to get there. I've learned what I want to become and the impact I want to make on this world. It is so valuable to attend college because the experiences you have and the people you meet shape and mold you into the person you didn't know you had the potential to become. There's nowhere else you can experience this other than going to college.

The most important thing I got from my college experience is the ability to analyze and research any problem that may arise. I came to college with the outlook of getting an education for a better career in life. As I've gotten closer to the end of my 2-year term at Northern Virginia CC and plan to go to George Mason University, I came to realize that I've learned not only to obtain a degree but to further my problem solving ability with confidence and determination. The value of attending college to my consideration is priceless. I am glad to say that I live in the USA where if you have the will to educate yourself, you will have a way. That is to say, if I have lived in another country, I might not have the same opportunity to attend college.

I have experienced a rewarding and fulfilling life due to the love of my mother and father and the support of my friends. My parents ingrained the importance of education and hard work at a young age and these feelings have grown and solidified over the course of nearly two decades of education. The importance of a collegiate experience level is immeasurable. I would strongly oppose the opinion of any person who believes the opposite and explain my reasoning by explaining the impact it has had on my life. Through my undergraduate experience, I have been provided opportunities to interact with different peers , thus building social skills; as my experience continued, I sharpened my abilities to think critically, perform academic or interactional skills at a higher level, and establish my personality and identity. My educational experience has been invaluable and essential to the establishment of my personality and identity. The recognition of these overlooked rewards is evidence that education at any level is more than just exams, textbooks, and classrooms.

I have gotten to know the real me and am starting to realize my FULL potential. Plus the people are awesome!!!

My college experience has taught me that life truly does not start until an education has been recieved. In High School I did not care about my school work, nor really about attending class and when it was time to finally graduate, I barely made it. College is valuable to me because it is teaching me that I must take my work seriously, if I want to get anywhere in life. Without college, I will never be able to become a nurse, nor will I ever be able to help those people who seriously need it, whether they have an acute illness, or a chronic condition. Without college, I feel that I would be nothing more than a bum, living off the Federal Government and my parents, never giving back what both parties so graciously have given to me growing up, and now.

I haven't gotten a lot of out of my college experience so far, only having completed one year. The one thing that I wish I could of done differently to help my experience would of been to leave on campus. I live off campus, and that is one thing that seems to have hindered my college experience. The courses have been very helpful in developing my learning and understand of the subjects, and have help direct my interests in what I want to study on further down the road. it's been very valuable just based on the fact that I am helping my future and getting a good education.

I have learn so much, and gained lots of experiences during my enrolment in college. I've experience that in the world of design, there are many competitors out there that i need to compete with, and if i stop learning now, im the one who's lost. I've experienced that using time wisely, will show on the work i do, whether it is a poster, or website, i have to put lost of efforts into the work, even if it is for a small business. The reason why it was valuable to attend is because Art is was passion when I was a young child, and is still is, thats why i want it to be a big part of my life. People ask me, "why art?, something that does not bring any worth to society" they said. I tell them that art is my passion, my purpose in life, and once im out from this world, when im gone, i want peope to remember me based on the works i've left behind, that, is my true goal.
