University of Phoenix-Online Campus Top Questions

I have truly been given the opportunity to expand my knowledge and learn new avenues of wisdom in relation to the business field. It has been a valuable experience because I have learned what I would not have had the chance to learn in the real world. It is true that most experience is learned on the job but at the same time, education offers much more in depth knowledge of the field. I am glad that I chose the route to continue my education and look foward to working in a company where I can apply my learned knowledge and skills and grow.

I have gotten a lot out of my college experience because I have learned how to pace myself at my work and focus on one thing. I think it is valuable to attend because it will help you get a better job and have a brighter future.

My college experience is amazing. I have been given choices to perfect my background that has allowed me to continue with academic training. The decision to further my education was non-existant to me years ago. From getting pregnant with the girls and having to live from paycheck to paycheck. This simply was not the life I wanted for my children. I had to make a decision that was going to take time for me to become financially stable for my children. I respect any decision of a mother to continue her education. We are not promised tomorrow, so having a Plan B in effect is always good.

I have gotten a great deal of self confidance from this school becuase I am doing so well and really understand my subjects. I have also learned about self discipline and planning to make sure I am online the required amount of time and getting my work done on time. Patience has been shown to me becuase we have to do so much group work and depend and rely on other people. All of these skills can and have been applied in my everyday life at work, with friends and in continuing classes.

I will get a degree out of all of this and i will finally be able to change the future for our children to come.

I have learned that college is not as hard as I thought it was I was so scared and terrified I would be lost in the curriculm and at this point the only thing that is bad is the prices are extremly high and I am not able to have extra money between work, school fulltime and four kids

My college experience has shown me who I am and where I have come from. I was the student in elementary school who could not read and needed much assistance. I grew in my reading and studying habits over the years and developed a better understanding of school and it what it means to me. Upon entering college there were a lot of friends and family who did not know if I would be able to make it or finish. I was able to prove them wrong in my completion of my bacheors degree and the accpetance into graduate school. Attending college challenged me and molded me into a better person and student. It prepared me for real life circumstances as well as helped to propel me into graduate school I am very thankful for my experience as an undergraduate student and look forward to my next journey in graduate school in being able to prove to myself that I can be a successful student and complete all that I put my mind and heart to!

Academically, I have gotten a lot out of my college experience. Going to a community college in Gadsden, Alabama, there isn't much of an on-campus student life. However, that has given me the extra time that I have needed to hold two jobs, one as a youth soccer coach and the other as an Event Specialist at my college's Fine Arts Center. The most valuable part of my college experience is not only the job experience that I am recieving, but also the one on one instruction that I am able to reciev efrom my teachers. They genuinely care about our [the students] future. They provide a excellent course of study in order to prepare us for transfering to a four-year institution, as well as, our chosen career. At first, I was hesitant to attend a community college because I was afraid that it would be too easy; a "thirteenth grade"if you will. However, I know that ten years down the road while I'm finishing up my residency to become a doctor, I will look back on my time at Gadsden State Community College as very beneficial to my career goals.

Without my college education, I wouldn't be the person I am today. It has shown me my place in the world and my true potential that I have to offer the public and most of all, myself. I have enhanced my education and thankfully have made life-long friends because of my college career. My intelligence has blossomed due to my decision to further my schooling and lit a fire in my heart to pursue and achieve all my goals. Most importantly I have made a solid foundation for my future and my family. I have been able to make more of a difference in my community and in my life that I wouldn't of been able to make any other way.

University of Phoenix Axia College has provided me with a sense of accomplishment and confidence in knowing that "I can do it". I am a single mother, with a very busy schedule, and financial issues, yet my enrollment counselor pursued and continued to encourage me and remind me that I could go back to school and still be able to take care of home. There were many times I wanted to give up and not bother going back to school, but he helped me through my problems and get through the process of enrollment like it was nothing. I officially started in March 2010, and have been nothing less than satisfied with both the education I have been recieving and the staff. I was extremely nervous about completing online courses thinking I wouldn't have the motivation or self control to complete them, but I feel like I am more focused and learning more than if I was in an actual classroom. Personally, I am shy and will be the type to hide in a corner and not say anything, but online forces you to speak in order to be considered as participation, which I believe is the greatest asset.
