University of North Texas Top Questions

What should every freshman at University of North Texas know before they start?

Michael

There are many aspects of my college experience that will be with me always. The people I've met, the subjects I've encountered, and the ability to keep away from jobs that don't provide careers. Attending college was important because it exposed me to new ideas and ways of thinking about subjects that were not previously considered. Just like my childhood, my adolescence, and early adulthood, my experience in college has molded me into the man I am today. I am proud to say I am an alumnus from the University of North Texas.

Kristin

I've learned that I get what I take from college. My amount of effort put in is equal to the amount of reward I will recieve in the end. The only reall way to be successful is to do above and beyond what is required, and put my all in to it.

Elizabeth

From my college experience, I have attained work ethic. I have attained the ability to keep working at something, even if I fail at it the first time. Time management, higher learning, and the ability to communicate have also been things that I will leave this campus with once I graduate. I have learned to try new things, and to thank those around me who keep pushing me on, and refuse to let me stop, because they know that I can do better than I myself believe that I can. These things I find valuable to both my remaining time on this campus, and also to the time that I will spend out on my own once I leave. I feel that they will aid me in the working field, and in life. I am certain that without attending this campus, I would not have achieved these things that I have.

Amal

I've been able to express my views in college. I've learn to be more independent and responsible. If i had chose not to attend college, my life wouldn't have been the same. I wouldn't be focused in life. I wouldn't have any goals in life to follow and goals are what keeps a person going. I'm more focused than ever before. I know what I want in life, a successful career of becoming a dentist which wouldn't have been possible without going to college. I'm glad i made this decision of continuing my studies and hopefully i'll be where i want to be very soon.

Moderate losw cost, friendly and open minded, and sized correctly for good student learning. Education, while sometimes lacking in assitace is intense and will ultimatly prove valuable.

Diego

It's been an amazing experience. I'm thankful for everything I've learned. I've met incredible individuals who inspired me to develop my potential to the maximum and beyond. I paid my way through college without loans only state grants that covered half of my tuition. This taught me to appreciate the value of education and helped me become independent, and determined to improve myself. It tested me not only in the academic sense but in the physical and spiritual as well. It helped me understand different perspectives of life and become an optimistic human being. I learned from my mistakes and not to be afraid of making them. When things didn't work out I tried them again and if I didn't succeed I changed my strategy but never gave up. I learned that in order to be respected I had to respect myself first. I learned that no matter the circumstances hard work always pays off, perhaps not the way, or as soon we are expecting but at the end if we don't give up the results will flourish. I know that critical thinking and respect is essential in the growth of humanity.

Noel

I've gotten a tangible sense that mhy dream choice for a career is possible. i've recieved great education experience with great and encouragin people around me. I don't want this to come close to ending and so I need this this scholarship, the chance to return to school has been a powerful thing in my life when for the past few years my family has been struggling and I've had to help pick up the slack, but I don't want to slow down in school. A small scholarship helped me get back to school, I just need more to keep me going.

Curtis

So far I have learned a lot more about people from different places and backrounds along with being able to experience new things such as college football games, the band, and much more as new theings continue to surprise me as I constantly find something new and fun to do each and every day. This has been valuable for me mainly because without all of this I wouldn't be too sure if I would be able to work to the best of my ability because I would seclude myself due to not knowing anyone.

College its a whole different situation. Its the best experience I have ever had in my life so far. I learned how to appreciate and operate the values that my parents taught me while I was home. I also learned to be more responsible of my actions, and live more independently has helped me to be more mature and conscious. College is also very fun. Theres many things that you can do here, that you didn't or couldn't do during High School. You meet tons of new people and live a completely different life. I cannot wait untill I have my degree and do what Im looking forward to in my future. College life is the best !
