University of Miami Top Questions

The University of Miami has helped me create different groups of friends I hang out with, from artsy friends to frat boys. Miami has the best night life from house parties to going out to the best clubs in the world on South Beach. Academically, the university provides the best professors in their field and students learn a lot from each class. People rarely skip class just because the class is so interesting and worth the time. There are so many clubs that students can join it is no hard to get involved with something you are passionate about and network with others on campus with the same passions as you. The football games are amazing and everyone loves being the part of the U. Overall, it's great to be a Miami Hurricane.

My college experience, thus far, has allowed me to break out of my shell. The professors have pushed me to challenge myself intellectually and to take my knowledge past the classroom setting. I came to University of Miami not knowing anyone and the friends I have made here since then have helped me turn into a more confident, outgoing person. In essence, college has made me stronger.

i have gotten out of my short time here at the U are 2 things, which i believe are extremely important to me. First off, i have been challenged with the ability to "think". Use more knowledge based answers and think before i jump to conclusions. And secondly, i now know what it is like to become apart of a family without people actually being your immediate family. The professors, coaches, students, athletes, and alumni show me what life is like when 15,000 people are behind you at all times. There is no better feeling to have in life, than the ability to think and the benefit of having such a supportive surrogate family at all times. I give all of the credit to the University of Miami and I am very fortunate to be attending such a prestigious school as this is.

My college experience was rewarding in that I was able to maintain a 4.0 GPA during five full-time (16-18 credit hour) semesters even though I had been out of school for 29+ years. This helped my self-esteem greatly and showed me that anything is possible when you put your mind into it. I am the first in my family to attend college which was like crossing a milestone for me. My Associate's of Applied Science degree gave me the opportunity to work with the local newspaper as a photojournalist and to become a published photographer which had been a major goal of mine. Being selected to be co-editor of the Hutchinson Community College (HCC) Dragon's Tale magazine was a highlight of my second year as was being the top HCC award winner among the magazine staff at the Kansas Associated Collegiate Press banquet. I also feel it was beneficial for me to interact with traditional college students as well as other non-traditional students.

From my college experience i've learned how to use my time wisely and apperciate deadlines more than i ever have before. I've also figured out that getting help doesn't mean your stupid, it simply means you are smart enough to use the resourses available do better in school. College is very important to attend because without it my career wouldn't go as far as i want it to go. I want to be at the top of a company somewhere, or working as an engineer or college algebra professor and that wouldn't be possible if I where to leave college.

The main thing that ive gotten from my experience at UM is how adaptive i can be to situations and how much perserverance i have. Ive gotten myself into some sticky situations grade-wise while ive been at UM and yet my final grades have been great. I an get knocked down but i just keep getting back up and working hard. I also like the freedom i have being a college student. We are able to do what we want when we want and its on our shoulders, there is know one telling us yes or no. It is of huge value to attend college, not only for the education for your future but for the experiences and people and friends you can meet. That alone makes college worth attending

I first arrived at the University of Miami not knowing a single person. I now have friends that I know I can trust forever and with anything. My college experience has taught me to step out of my comfort zone and experience new cultures and traditions. On one side the knowledge that has been given to me is beyond extradinary, and on the other side being away from home has taught me responsiblity and courage. I believe that this experience has allowed me to grow as a person and completely open a new chapter in my life. Without this experience I probably would not be able to understand exactly what my goals are and what I need to do for my future to be what I want it to be.

I started college as a Pre-Med student, i am still on the pre-med track but might be changing to Nursing in the near future. So far, my colelge experience has been a great one. Although i am not yet sure what i want to study, i have had a chance to meet wonderful people and learn a lot. I have a thirst for knowledge and at UM i am able to quench that thirst. I have a job now and many more responsibilities, but it's all worth it. I love the college environment and it's teaching methods. It's a new phase in my life, and i will make the best of it.

I've learned so much about myself being away from home. I am from a small town in Georgia where everyone knows everyone. I was a top student in my class as well as an established leader. I was also a cheerleader for our high school, and captain of football and competitive cheer my senior year. I went from being a big fish in a small pond, to being a little fish in a big pond. College was hard for me to adjust to. However, it taught me how to be my own friend. I learned how to live and survive on my own. I learned how to trust myself and my knowledge by making decisions from my own instincts instead of relying on "group think". I feel that you become the individual you will be for the rest of you life in college. I learned how to be a young independent woman, and I owe it all to my college experience.

As a first semester freshman at the University of Miami, I have already grown in every way imaginable. From the first week on campus, my advisor encouraged me to succeed. In fact, I am in the process of founding my own organization on campus, Phi Beta Lambda, otherwise known as the Future Business Leaders of America. In addititon to that, I have developed positive and influential relationships with all of my professors. In fact, my Business Law teacher encouraged me to major in Business Law. However, Business Law is not my only major. I am also majoring in Entrepreneurship and minoring in Motion Pictures. I learned to follow my dreams at the University of Miami. Everyone is willing to work together in order to create a more successful learning environment. I came into this school without having any problems adjusting. The Univeristy of Miami is not only my school, but it is also my home. If we follow Maslow's Law, the University of Miami has provided me with all of the resources to succeed and it encouraged and continues to encourage me to take advantage of everything that it has to offer.
