University of Louisville Top Questions

Before I attended college I was a typical highschool student wondering how my future will unfold. Everything during my senior year in highschool seemed so difficult because all everybody can think about is, "What are your plans?," "How are you going to prepare for yourself financially?" Counselors would drown the students in questions that they don't know how to answer yet. When I finally attended college I experienced a lot of work and responsibility. I learned to understand life itself and how things don't just come to you. Instead you have to come towards the stuff you want and need. My experience has taught me how to budget and how to save money in order to be able to continue my college career. My experiences has helped me grow and develop a better mature state of mind. College has been valuable because there has been so many lessons that I have learned. College helps you realize that you have to get your life together and plan your future for the better. College is what unfolds your future. It helps you become a better person once you accomplish your goal.

The University of Louisville has opened my eyes to career opportunities, cultural opportunities, religious opportunities, and so much more. The University of Louisville holds their students to the highest expectations, and walks their students through meeting those expectations. UofL openly provides endless resources, including free tutoring, office hours, health services, healthy food services, social services, safety services, etc. Personally, I have received the most encouragement from the staff at the School of Music at UofL. They have built my self confidence and my inter-personal skills. To these select individuals, I owe my loyalty and respect. Also at UofL, I have been given every opportunity to develop lasting relationships with the people I am surrounded with. These people will be co-workers, and I believe that it is of the up-most importance to maintain a positive, healthy relationship with my fellow classmates.

The college experience so far has been visiting colleges, applying and then going to the orientation for the U of L. It is clear that in order to work as an Engineer a college degree is required. The U of L is the college that I feel most comfortable attending. I am thrilled that in 5 years I will earn an ABET certified Masters degree and also gain 3 semesters of co-op experience.

My college experience has given me confidence and passion. This is my second degree, and my reasons to attend have been in order to support my family, and to participate in the Healthcare field. I have already gotten more out of this experience than I expected. University of Louisville's REACH student tutor program accepted me as one of their tutors for Anatomy and Physiology, Pharmacology, and Pathophysiology. This program provided me with training on various approaches to learning that I have never been exposed to before. This knowledge, combined with the enhanced understanding of the classes I supported, the personal support and interaction with the professor and staff of the REACH program, and the success of my tutees have been the best experience I have had while attending any school to date. I am so thankful for this experience. While returning to school has involved many sacrifices on my part and the part of my family, I would do it all over again in an instant. The connection to my community at large in addition to the knowledge I have already gained means so much as I am not originally from Kentucky. Thank you, University of Louisville!

I have just begun at this school but so far I have gotten a lot out of it. The staff at the school are all very nice and help you with anything and everything I am learning is just amazing. I have been in and out of different colleges but I have a very good feeling about this one. I struggled with what career path I wanted but now that I know what I want to do with my life I know that this school is going to get me there and I am so excited to keep going along on my educational journey. This school is very valuable to me because now that I am older I value my education and I know this school will give me a very valuable education.

I believe that going to college really put things into perspective for me. You have to have a college education to succeed in today's society and there is a reason for that. College has taught me about the importance of leadership, time management, puncuality, and project management. It has also allowed me to experience different areas of interest that I was unfamiliar with, such as sociology and philosophy. College has given me the tools to succeed by providing me with the knowledge of all the different aspects of the field of study I am in. However, the best experiences that I have gotten out of college is the openness to diversity, others' opinions and ideas, working with other students, and knowing there is a support structure there for you when you really need it.

i have learned how my education can help me be successfull a many fields and that some feild of work require more education to be successfull than others. Most importantly i have learned that i will have to be tenacious to get to where i want to be in life .

I have learned How to apply myself to my work and really learn, not just memorize enough to pass a test. I have really developed as a person and i feel greatly enriched by the time I have spent in school and can't wait to start working directly toward my major next fall.

Going to college has definitely been beneficial for me in many ways. Even going to a community college, I still have gained a great college experience. I have taken classes that I hated, that I have loved and quite a few that I will not forget. I learned that the mentality of a class is heavily based on the professor. Our school is filled with all kinds of teachers, and it is very liberating to have a professor who is very passionate about their work. Most of the time, they are what makes the class worth while.

College has been an unforgettable experience so far. In the past three years I have learned a substantial amount not only in the classroom, but also just being a part of the "college life". I graduated from a small high school, with only 44 students in my graduating class. Even though I attend a community college, it is still a whole different world from what I was used to. I see so many different cultures, races, cliques, and clubs everyday. The vast amount of diversity allowed me to learn respect and honor. I was fortunate enough to participate in collegiate volleyball and track for my first two years. After all of the traveling for competitions, I become close with many different student-athletes. All of them had different stories and backgrounds, and after months of being together, it helped me grow and learn as a young adult. The past three years has been such a valuable experience. I know these are the years I will never forget. I still have two more years before obtaining my Bachelor's Degree in Exercise Science, however I know that I will continue to mature and excel everyday until then; and after!
