University of Nebraska-Lincoln Top Questions

At the end of senior year, I would tell myself to roll with the punches. College can be fun if you let it happen. There are a lot of new people to meet and new experiences to be had. Yes it is a major lifestyle change, but what would life be like if nothing ever changed? Humans are built for adaptation. Keep schoolwork as the top priority, but save some time to relax. It's never as bad as you think it will be. Heck, maybe you'll even learn something in the process.

I would tell my senior self to apply for more scholarships and also to apply to more schools to see what financial aid they would have given me. But the main thing I would tell myself is to apply, apply, apply.

Be Prepared! That's the advice I would give myself before coming to college. I would tell myself to study alot more and focus alot more time on getting a really high GPA and ACT score because that that will prepare me for college studying while also giving me alot better opportunity at getting scholarships and other financial asssistance. I would tell myself to practice more time management skills. With having so much to do and alot more to study at one time in college, I need time management skills to make sure I plan everything out and get my studying done in an orderly fashion. Lastly I would tell myself to practice and practice study skills as often as I could. Good study skills will make it easier in college to study for tests and exams. It will also cut down on study time and not make me procastinate so much. If I do things and be prepared, I will reach my dreams and goals in college.

I would tell myself to get to know my professors immediately. Even in a big class, it is so important to set up a time to meet with your professor and get to know them. I would tell myself to make sure and stay organized and responsible and stay up to date with my homework and try hard not to fall behind. I would tell myself that it is important to balance schoolwork with social time.

I think that at the very least college has been an important buffer between high school and real life. It throws you new responsibilites you've never had, but provides with the safety net of faculty and staff, something that people who go directly to the work force miss out on. I've certainly had my fair share of screw ups in my first two years and most of the time I've been able to make a few phone calls and everything has been taken care of. I can't imagine going out into the world and immediately having to grocery shop for myself, pay rent every month, pay utilities, and deal with everything the independent life entails. As a college student, I get a great education and along with that, a chance to prepare myself for the outside world in a safe environment.

So far, I have gotten a ton out of the college experience. I am a major in Music Education with an emphasis in trumpet. I feel like my talent and skills have grown immensly since I have been here. I have met a lot of new people that I am proud to call my new friends. I am from a different state, so it has been interesting getting to experience Nebraskan culture, which seems like it shouldn't be that different from my own since I'm just from Colorado, but it is. Being in college has also helped me realize that one major isn't enough for me and I also really want to major in Journalism. It has been completely valuable to attend. I feel like I am getting a quality education and growing as a person!

University of Nebraska-Lincoln is ranked very highly for their Speech-Langauge Pathology, which was my major in my undergraduate career. They have several world renowned professors in this field , and I felt I gained valuable knowledge from these individuals that has helped me in my graduate program.

My college experience has granted me the confidence to go after a great career. I am currently awaiting acceptance into the radiologic technology program at Hudson Valley Community College and without the help of my advisor I would never thought I could be accepted into such a competitive program. College has allowed me a fresh start in education and allowed me to prove to myself that I can apply myself and be rewarded with good grades. In the semesters I have completed at HVCC I have become a member of Phi Theta Kappa which is a prestigious 2-year College honor society which is something I never expected of myself. I believe that anyone who has motivation to succeed and discipline will be able to have a fresh start by enrolling into a college program. Enrolling in college has been the best decision I have made so far!

So far, I am in my second term of college and needless to say what I am learning is priceless. College allows me to seek the knowledge that I need in order to have a successful future for my daughter and I. The learning experience by far has been an amazing challenge, and I enjoy challenges. By attending college I have learned that the best way that I would like to save lives is by becoming a paramedic. Many people think that you need to figure out what you want to be in order to attend college; however, I beg to differ. College was where I found what I want to be and it is also the place that will help me reach towards the goal of becoming who I want to be. This experience has guided me so far and it will continue to guide me as long as I allow myself to continue this wonderful journey!

Going to school in Lincoln is a great experience because Lincoln is pimarily a college town. It's not a "party school" but there are parties all the time and the school is surrounded by neigborhoods where college kids live. Lincoln also offers a huge variety of classes, you can pretty much major in anything, get a great education and take extra classes that peak you interest.

In my first year of college, I have already learned so much, inside and outside of the classroom. I've learned what it means to actually work hard in a class to get an A on the midterm. I've learned important time management skills, which have not only improved my grades, but also my performance at my job. I've learned that there are many types of professors, not all of whom I will like, but I know they are there to help me help myself and I have to utilize what they have to offer. College has also taught me more about the world. Already I have met so many different people who have come from different corners of the world. College has taught me that there is more to life than what Fort Worth, Texas has to offer, and I can't wait to get started.

For my college experience I would say I have learned a lot of life leason, and some of which will set me up to succeed in my carrer path. There are only 20 schools in the nation with a Proffesional Golf Management major, and this is one of them. Since this is such a limited major it allows me to stand out in a job field. By coming to Nebraska from California I feel i have set myself up to succeed in the work place after i graduate. Since job fields are already so small, and unemployment is still high it is important to stand out on a resume and on paper, because if not then its more difficult to even be considered for a meeting. I have learned so much from school, this alone is a valuable reason to attend, the atmosphere and the knowledge have been the best part of my college career.

So far I have gaind good frineds and knowledge that will both last me the rest of my life.

I have learned a lot of responsibility from being in college. It also has taught me the true value of my education. With that, I study a lot, make sure I go to class, am attentive, and try really hard. I want to get the most of my education. I have also already met some of my best friends, and they make college a much easier ride. The value of support has been extremely important to me this semester as I went through a lot of rough changes before school started. College is also starting to prep me for the real world, but I still get to be a kid. I'd say, it's definitely been the best of both worlds.

Since having my daughter almost two years ago, it was her existence that has encouraged me to go back to school. Since going back, I have learned how valuable school is to me. I have had a renewed sense in the fact that it will be this education that I am receiving currently that will help me get a good job to give my daughter a good home and an over all positive attitude that an education is important and essential. So not only will I benefit from a good education so will my daughter. And although I have not been in school for some time, last semester I had a 4.0 average. This speaks so much that at any age, whatever the background or problems one may have faced that a quality college education can help.

My college experience so far has been incredible. Through the fraternity I'm a part of, I've started making connections to various alumni and business owners, as well as making many friends that I'll have for a long time. The classes are stimulating and challenging, but if you immerse yourself completely in them you'll have a lot of fun while learning things that will land you in your career of choice. I've become a more responsible student after attending Lincoln, learning the skills it takes to live without a parent looking over your back and without teachers keeping you in line. By that, I mean I have learned necessary study skills, time management skills, communication skills, and the like. Lincoln has allowed me to discover myself, truly discover my strengths and weaknesses, and I've matured so much since I've been here. The one thing I deem most valuable is the growing relationship between me and my parents. When I left, the bond between us was strained and difficult, but now my family is my greatest asset and has helped me through so much. Lincoln, in my eyes, has made me who I am today.

I have learned skills that are useful for my future career. I have also made friends and lifelong relationships. I have grown as a person and know more about myself and my abilities.

My college experience has taught me how important education really is. Not only does knowledge give one power but it also opens up doors for his/her future. My high school teacher once said "Ignorance is bliss" but my college professor said "Ignorance is bliss for the wise." A quote as simple as this made me realize that without a proper education I will be that unknowing person but because I am attending college i will instead be the wise. Attending college is valuable not only for its educational purpose but also for the overall experience. It's a time when one gets to discover him/herself and establish goals for the future. No one should be denied the college experience for it shapes and guides our future.

Attending Palm Beach State College has been a positive experience for me. When I first started enrolling full time at the college, I got envolved in a couple of the clubs and fellowships there for socialization. Since then, I've blossomed as a young adult. In most of my classes I've made several friends, some of whom are still my friends even after class is over. We would meet up together to study which improved the way I was involved academically. This college has taught me that academics can be fun. The labs and tutors are all so supportive, all my questions have been answered. I never knew what a great learning asset the college was till I went to the math lab. I have done all my home work there and even helped a few other students as well. Now, I have been asked to apply for a position as a tutor because I have the qualifications to do so and I've been so friendly to everyone there. I will never regret going to college because it has taught me some important life lessons. I want to show others how beneficial and essential college is in life.

The experiences and knowledge learned in the classroom so far during my college career can only be described as priceless. I learned to open my mind and accept ideas that are foreign to me and become accepting of others without hesitation because everyone has the same goal, to become educated and to do our part to make the community, and the world a better place, whether it be doctors or nurses caring for patients, or police officers or lawyers protecting the public from criminals and crime. My college experiences come of great value to me because I have learned to become an extrovert and go out of the way to meet new people and experience new things, which I feel makes me a more rounded and diverse student. It is of great value to me to be able to attend UNL because if I were unable to attend I would without a doubt miss out on the greatest experiences in my life, not only do I learn outside the classroom from my classmates of different cultural and religious backgrounds I am bombarded with knowledge and learning inside the classroom which has given me an insatiable desire to further my education.
