University of North Carolina at Charlotte Top Questions

Since I've been in college, I've learned some of the tools I will need to open my own business. I've also learned about what employers look for and what they expect. In my major, we learn the different styles of managing a company and the keys to successfully keeping that company alive. Some of the teachers are even business owners that can answer the many questions students have about owning and operating their own business. My school is small enough to get one on one time with the teachers and the offer tutoring for any class. I've met many interesting people that have many of the same goals as I do.

I have learned that college is not about just living it up and going to parties. I witness people like this every day and to me college is about getting your life in order. You are in college to get a successful job in life and get you on the right track to where you need to be going. So many people think they can just come to college and do whatever they want. I've learned that college is the real deal and if you want to succeed in life, then don't mess up your chances of getting a good job by partying too much in college.

My college experience has been that of much learning, within and outside the classroom. I learn so many new topics from the professors in class that will directly relate to the career I choose and I very grateful for that. I also learn so much from the college community itself. The diverse students offer new perspectives on viewing different aspects on the world and an individual's impact. I also learn a lot just from the friends I have made and what they have shown me about how college is important to them. It has been very valuable to attend this school because I don't think I would have received these same kind of benefits from attending a less diverse school and I feel as though that I am better prepared for my career beyond college because of it.

Out of my college experiance so far, I have learned about my major and what to expect when I graduate. Every single one of my professors that I have had presented videos, activities and guest speakers in my major field. Their goal is to make each student feel comfortable when they graduate and step out into the real world and prepare for their first job. Even more, my professors are so dedicated to their students. They want each of us to do well and succeed. That is why I chose to be a teacher myself. In attending the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, I have really felt myself wanting to be the kind of teacher that my teachers were to me: inspiring, dedicated and caring.

For me, attending college was never an option. In high school my parents made it clear that I would achieve high grades, maintain leadership roles, and rack up volunteer hours so I could attend the university of my choice with scholarships in hand. Essentially everything I did in high school was done for college.But I didn’t really understand the value of college until I got here. At the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, I am enrolled in both the Business Honors Program and the University Honors Program; both are academically competitive programs with a focus on volunteering and career opportunities. After less than a semester of college, I am already beginning to see the merits of being active and involved. Attending school and participating in organizations allows me incredible networking opportunities; I get to hear speakers from the business community, have dinner with banking executives and entrepreneurs, and even attended a convention with the authors of the New York Times bestseller “Freakonomics.”In short, the college experience is about more than what you can learn from the classroom and textbooks. Attending university is an opportunity to meet people, network, and find a way to follow your dreams.

What I have gotten out of my college experience is the value of nutrition and how important it is for people to understand the nutrients your body needs. People wouldn't be nearly as sick or unhappy with themselves if they took care of their body instead of taking medications. The body is meant to heal itself and pills only push off the side effects for the time being.

One of the main things that I have gained from my college experience is self-sufficiency. I have learned, not only how to take care of myself and live on my own, but also how to motivate myself to go to class and get work done. In the past, I would have had my parents to motivate me either through threat of immediate punishment or through encouragement. I would have been home most of the time so I would have had fewer encounters with temptations that would distract me from my schoolwork. Now I have to deal with those temptations and motivate myself without fear of immediate punishment and I find those abilities to be useful in many aspects of life and not just in my educational career. I am now more self-sufficient because of these abilities and because taking care of myself has been thrust upon me, and when I am on my own in the future I will take obstacles as they come in stride.

What I have learned from being in college is to work as a teram member. In just about every class that I had been in we had at least had to work in a group a few times. it hepled me realize that in order to get through school you have to work with someone, and that also applies to when you are in the work force. Although you might not like what the job is as long as you work as a team you will get it done and it will all be in the past. Study hard and get good grades, like our parents told us, doesnt cut it any more, you have to be more then just a test score you have to be amazing or a stand out student.

I have grown into my own person while i have been here not only because i have learned new things but alot of things have happend to me here that hadnt happened to me before.

i have learned so much so far though out my college experience, that i can do anything i put my mind if i imply myself.

My college experience has been short, but has already taught me more about the world and about myself than anything else I have ever been through. I have lived overseas, learned foreign languages, been through personal experiences, but nothing has shaped me like college has. Not only am I receiving an amazing education to prepare me for my future career, I am getting the building blocks to help me move towards being successful in other aspects of my life as well. With Greek life doors of opportunity have opened to me and with clubs and organizations, campus participation has opened myeyes to a larger, more diverse world. Yes, even larger than travelling over the ocean! College is the BEST experience anyone could ask for. Especially me.

I have experienced a new world since entering college. I was always afraid that when I went to college everything would change, and I would be all alone, but I realized new environments aren't bad. They give the chance to make new memories, and make new friends which seems strange at first, but it is something that a person will probably do multiple times throughout their life. It has allowed me to change my opinion of meeting new people, which has given me a new outlook on people. Throughout all of my life I have always been comfortable with my friends and family around me and now I am also comfortable with the new wonderful people I have met at college. UNC Charlotte has provided a great atmosphere for my college experience and I look foward to my remaining years there. I would suggest UNCC to any upcoming freshman and encourage them to step out of their comfort zone and let college create new memories and opertunities for them. Without this experience my life would be quite boring and would provide me with no new experiences or any career possibilities.

I have learned a lot of new things throughout my freshman year. I am happy that I get to go back to school and keep learning more about the Criminal Justice system. Everything I have learned so far will always be remembered and will help me become a better student and future employee in the Criminal Justice system.

Over the past three years, I have expanded myself as a person. I now have new outlooks on different races and cultures along with dedicating myself to become the best that I could be in academia. I have gotten a sense of accomplishment from attending UNCC that I have not recieved from anything else that I have done. Attending college has allowed me to be exposed to new subjects that I have never thought about. I has broadened my knowledge and also my cultural influence. I have always lived and attended schools that were not very diverse in race and ethnicity. Attending college, where people come together from all over, has allowed me to become more aware and respectful of these different opportunities. I believe that these new experiences that I have gotten, that I would not have been able to experience anywhere else, has set me up for a positive future where I am better understanding of myself and those around me.

I believe that the most valuable thing that i have gotten out of my college experience is responsibility. college is really the first time in my life that i have had to live away from my parents and fend for myself. i have had to learn to manage my time to fit my schedule. i havent had my parents there to tell me when to wake up, when to do my homework, that dinner was ready or even when to go to sleep. everything that i have done in college has been my decision so only i can take responsibility for my successes and failures.

The most important characteristic I attained as a college student was that of responsibility. As a high school student, I lived at home, had no expenses, and constantly had my parents reminding me to study. The term responsibility was not in my vocabulary. This all changed when I became a college student. Although as a college student I still stayed at home, my parents did not continue the privileges I became accustomed to. The first major responsibility I was exposed to was planning my own schedule. As an IB student, my classes were already planned out for me. The next responsibility I had was getting a job. Now that I was a college student my parents were no longer going to pay for my expenses such as school supplies, gas, and etc. Finally, the last major responsibility I had was managing my own time. As a college student, I had so much free time and was at liberty to do whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. Studying, as one can imagine, was not one of my top priorities. However, seeing my first semester grades made me realize that some time management changes needed to be made.

I have started learning how to persue a career in accounting. '

My college experience has taught me to be more social and has taught me the value of time management and saving money. As an Art major I do spend a lot of time and a lot of money working of class projects. It is one hundered percent worth the time and money but I do wish they supplied the majority of the supplies for the classes because my financial aid grants do not at all cover for anything which in return I have to have a part time job. Juggling a part time job and being a full time student takes a lot of hard work and dedication. Over all the majority of my experiences at my college has been positive and I am proud to be a student of my college.

In just one short semester at UNC Charlotte I have gotten a lifetime of experiences that I know I couldnt get at home. Starting with just acemdemic lessons, I have learned so much. One of the biggest things I learned is that attendance is extremely important. You can miss so much by just missing one class. Also anytime you have free and youre thinking that you should study, use that time. I'm not saying to not go out and have fun, but you are paying to get an education of a lifetime. Aside from acedemics, I have made some of the best friends at UNC Charlotte. One big thing I noticed is how kinda everyone is down there and that helped me be polite to everyone I meet. This is just a great place to live and learn and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a wonderful college experience.

Going to school has opened so many new doors for me as a student and as a young woman. Before I decided to go off to college I was very much a homebody and was afraid to leave me family but I tried it out and I have never regretted it. Being at Charlotte has taught me so much in so many different areas of my life. I have met some amazing friends and although I was mature and independent before it has exceeded my expectations for myself as a responsible adult. I have been involved which I was always too scared to do and it has been an amazing experience. There is so much I could say to explain to you how much I have gotten from my one year of college but I am so excited about the next three years of my life. I have learned what I want to do with my future, teach children. This past school year has given me the drive and the passion to help children with their education. I don't know how much more I could have gotten.
