University of Louisville Top Questions

I start going to Career College of Northern Nevada on November 29th for the Pharmaceutical Technician course. I think the experience will be positive and very rewarding, despite the difficulty of the course. It will give me the opportunity I need in difficult times by getting started in a field that's in high demand once I graduate. It doesn't get more valuable than that.

I think I've really grown more as a person. U of L makes the transition not only from high school to college a lot easier, but the transition to being an adult as well. This whole experience has been valuable for me because it doesn't put near as much of the pressure on you as high school did, and every professor really encourages their students to do well and make something out of themselves, no matter who you are or where you're from. If you're struggling, the professors, and even your classmates are willing to do almost anything to help you succeed because one thing that sets U of L apart from other schools is that everyone cares.

Education has greatly enriched my own life as well as the lives of others around me. I can think of no greater feeling than taking joy in living one's life. And although education isn't the only means by which this can be accomplish, it is infinitely helpful. I have experienced this with small success's like going from a high school drop out to a first generation college student with an 84 credit 4.0 GPA. To larger success's like helping my siblings take pride in their own life, and in their own education, all three of which are now enrolled in college pursuing their dreams. That is the greatest feeling that I have ever experienced and it continues to inspire me daily. One day I hope to make films. Regardless, having the ability to pursue this dream through education is a blessing that I am so very grateful for.

The value of my college experience is so much more than book value (albeit it could be said that textbooks are priced way too high). I have lived, learned, and grown more in the past two years than I have the rest of my life. Although obtaining a degree and moving onto a career with power and prestige are my ultimate goals, I can honestly and wholeheartedly say that it is not all that I received. I have received preparation for the rigor that is to come. I have made or retained friendships that will last a lifetime. Most importantly, I cemented and made real a plan to achieve the dream of my childhood: to change the world.

My college experience has given me the opportunity to take hold of my life. I joined ROTC as anursing major at the University of Louisville and became a part of a community I feel at home with. I have found ways to be independent and successful, and feel safe: all things I previously doubted were possible.

My college experience so far, is something to remember. All the people i have met would be a good network for later one

My college expierence has been unreal. I joined a sorority, and I feel much more successful already. I came out of my shell, and grew as a better person. I broke a lot of bad habits, and made better choices. College has affected me positively. It's valuable to attend because you learn so much about yourself. College gives you a better education; in more ways than one. You are able to learn and build a career for yourself, and you're able to learn about yourself and who you are. You learn what kind of person you will become. College is a journey about finding yourself, and creating yourself.

I have created a fantastic network of friends that I know I will stay connected to for years and years to come. The relationships built among individuals at the University of Lousiville are powerful and unique in no small part because of the diversity on this campus. Louisville's Belknap campus is the most diverse campus I have ever been on, and it is glorious. There are students here representing every race, religion, lifestyle, and ideology. Learning from people different from myself is an experience I would not change for anything. Furthermore, the University of Louisville strives to give its students opportunities to study abroad through myriad scholarship opportunities, and I am incredibly eager to take advantage of this in the coming years. Listening to representatives from the study abroad program speak truly communicates how I can go anywhere I want to, and the funds are out there to do it at minimal cost to me. The University of Louisville is truly the place for me, and for any student that wishes to expand his or her horizons past those of the town in which they were born. The exposure to other cultures is one of a kind.

My college experience has taught me more about myself that any job or relationship could. I have learned a lot about what it means to be me, what I like and don’t like, and most importantly how to be a professional in today’s world. I have attended two universities and currently an art school. The first university taught me that you are not always going to fit in and some times you have to try harder to be noticed. This university was a highly Greek campus and, unfortunately, I was unable to rush because of money. I had a hard time meeting people because Greeks only associate with Greeks. I had to learn other ways of breaking the ice with these people. My second university taught me that forcing yourself to do something you don’t like isn’t going to make your GPA pretty. Finally, the art school has taught me to stand on my own two feet, depend on only yourself, and be true to what you love. All of these experiences have made me well rounded and more suited to live on my own and be in the business world.

I have gained a sense of independence and accomplishment that I would have missed out on had I not decided to attend college. Graduating with my degree (and continuing on to a 4-year university) will give me the confidence I need to secure gainful employment and enjoy a general sense of well-being. Before I attended college I felt "less than" others that were currently attending college or had already completed a post-secondary degree. Now, even though I started attending school well after my peers were finished, I finally feel like more of an equal to them. Maintaining a 4.0 GPA while enrolled in school has made me feel even more confident in my level of intelligence. Having confidence in myself will make me more successful in the future as well as a happier individual in the here and now. It was very difficult to jump back into school as an adult student, but I feel that I am able to take school much more seriously now than I would have immediately after high school graduation. My college experience may be different from my peers but it has still been an integral part of my "growing up".
