University of Phoenix-Online Campus Top Questions

My college experience has been valueable to me because its the start of my carrer, i have a little one on the way and college has givin me a chance to make an example of myself for my child. I am taking my associates degree in nursing and so far i like it. they gave me a class explaining what to expect form my carrer and what i need to do to make it in this proffession. i found it very useful. since i started my classes at arc it taught me how to do things on my own, whitch boosted my self esteem. it is very useful because you cannot get a good job without a decent education. this is one of the best things that i could have done with my life, and i would still be working at a low paying job that has no advances in life. i am very appriciative that i made it and i plan on staying tell im finished and even after.

I've learned so much going to this small town college. I've learned so much from the small classes and one-on-one atmosphere, but even more I've learned about small town life. I've learned a completely new culture wher people care for one another and would bend over backwards to help eachother. I've learned how hard work can have major pay-offs (this lesson was most identified by the cotton farmers). I've come to discover that from my short time here at EAC I have found some of the truest friends anyone could find worldwide. The closness we share can no-doubtably be partially contributed to the atmosphere and the almost family like structure of everyone around. It's been so great and fun meeting these people who I know will always and forever have a place in my heart. And out times down at the rivers, hotwells, and blue ponds will never be forgotten. Nor will the lessons of life learned out at the bon-fires on cold weekend nights.

It gave me a sense of accomplishment after being told in Elementary school that I was a special needs child. As well as obtaining Government Jobs.

I have gotten many things from my colllege experience such as, growth as an adult. I have learned many responsibilities in college such as to take care of health and well being. To be responsible and take care of the important things like bills, family, friends. I've also gotten out of college to be true and honest to myself and others, and to never forget where you've came from yet remember where you are going. It has been valuable to attend college because, without an education you don't have much. Also, if you want to be somebody and go somewhere out of life to pay attention and learn all you can. The most valuable thing I have learned is that nobody can do it for you, don't count on anyone else, do it for yourself and count on yourself; you will be surprised how far you go.

Returning back to college is very imporant to me myself, I've always looked down on myself as I take look at all my graudating class of 2001, there are many doctors, lawyers, firefighters and so much more. I believe that i to can acheive great goals in my life as well. One of the many experiences I've learned in college is that you have to be prompt and motivated to sucessed through this jounery in college. There's a wide variety of people that you will come in contact with and will build friendships and make networks with through your jounery, that you will never forget. There are many resources avaible to around campus you have to get out there and research, no one is going to babysit you, me or anyone elses. Education is knowledge, without it I might as well settle for less, which I will never settle for average or limit myself.

I am a homemaker and mom who worked hard to put my usband through school and when we relocated I could not find work that suited my family in relation to child care costs. UOP has enabled me to further my career instead of working minimum wage and do this on a flexible schedule. UOP has made obtaining an education easier with the provided resources and programs made available. Every staff member is helpful and willing to help in any way possible and nothing is trivial. I have advanced my knowledge base and exceeded my own expectations and I still have a year left. UOP has provided me with the tools I need to reenter the workforce with a more promising future. UOP also made education reentry painless as I had been out of school for 10 years and had never attended college. I cannot imagine my future withou University of Phoenix and while I have not experience the traditional setting, I have seen and been impressed with all UOP has to offer. I will be singing their praises for years to come.

What I have gotten out of college is that I really want to keep going. I know this is a weird answer but I have learned that 's not easy to get the career path I want but I want to prove everybody wrong and keep going. I really do like all the new changelles and I want to keep going to get more.

My college experience has given me a more visibility of the world around me. I have been exposed to so many new aspects of the industry I have been involved in for so many years through this learning experience. I have found that I am much more disciplined and have more perseverance than ever before. I have excelled academically as well as professionally in my personal working relationships. The time I have spent attending college has become a valuable part of my life and I am grateful for the opportunity to do so. I have completed an Associate's degree in Healthcare Administration and am persuing my Bachelor's in Healthcare Administration/Health Management in 2011. I have come to be less judgemental and more open-minded to new philosophies and other cultures. Life is too short to waste and gaining any new knowledge is a gift and should be well treasured. Life is about dreaming and living to make those dreams a reality. Knowledge gained is a reality all its own!

I have grown a great deal through my courses. I have re-evaluated my organizational skills, dedicated more time and energy toward my studies, and realized my full potential in reaching my ultimate goals. I have gained valuable insight for my future endeavors. The realization of the importance of a college education has come late in life, but this experience has taught me to work hard and preservere. This experience has been valuable to my life and has enriched it as well. I am not only reaching my full potential mentally, but I have inspired my children to reach theirs.

I have been able to obtain the educational goals that I have set for myself so long ago. The University of Phoenix allows me to get my education while continuing to work and take care of my family because of the flexibility with the online courses. Instructors are available through email, online discussion threads, and by phone. The University of Phoenix also has many small classes available for those who want certificates as well. These are free for current students with acceptable grades. I have personally used this option to get some experience in Quickbooks since I am getting my Associates Degree in Accounting and Quickbooks is one of the most commonly used accounting software.

The most valuable aspect of my college experience thus far was being a member of The James W. Rouse Scholars program at Howard Community College. The program was named after the designer of the city the college is located in. Like Rouse himself, The Rouse Scholars express desire to go above and beyond what is required to graduate, in order to excel and be successful in the future. Rouse mixes rigorous academics, with leadership and volunteering, and social and cultural events not usually available to college freshmen and sophomores. Although attending a community college, we are guided into continuing our education by transferring to four year universities after Rouse. The most valuable part of Rouse however has to be Madre. Madre is the nickname for our Rouse Seminar Teacher. She plays many different roles, and truly becomes a mother to all of her students. She is a cheerleader, support system and sage advice giver. She remembers her college experience, and strives to help us be the best that we can be.

My college experience has proven to me that I am able to conquer any obstacle placed in front of me! I have become a stronger person, both personally and professionally, as a result of my college experience. I have learned how to integrate my college experience into my work life, making my career skills much stronger.

I've always been a person who likes to read and study on their own, especially if it is my passion, music. I learned so much in that way, so that in 2006 I was offered a scholarship to Professional Technical in Music Program with duration of 2 years in the Christian School of Music here in Mexico City. Was there where I really organized my knowledge and correctly applied everything I had learned. Those two years of musical training were really helpful, I learned to create, to express and teach others the invaluable knowledge I had gained. Now, two years after having completed this wonderful experience I received a scholarship from Berklee College of Music to continue my musical studies, however, the tution of the school remains inaccessible to my finances or my family, that is why applied for this scholarship because I know that a person with studies is more useful to their family, community, country and world where he lives. Thank you.

I have obtained a tremendous amout of knowledge by attending the University of Phoenx online. Not only from the instructors, but within myself as well. This college has taught me more discipline on meeting deadlines, taught myself how to schedule life around my college assignments. The knowledge in the online classroom is unlike going to an actual classroom; you feel more at ease and eager to learn by going online.

Five years ago I was involved in an accident and sustained Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Long-term effects of the accident are epilepsy, short-term memory loss, total deafness in one ear, and partial left side paralysis. The University of Phoenix-Online Campus offers an opportunity for acedemic success that I would be unable to achieve at a traditional college. I feel relaxed working online and seizures are easier to control with less stress. Short-term memory loss makes it impossible to pass muliple-choice tests; all online work is written. It is convenient to have materials close so that I can refer back when I forget. In a traditional classroom, I would need to find seating on the left side of the room in order to hear. I walk with a cane and getting around on a large campus would be time-consumming and tiring. Attending college has helped my brain heal. The more I use the remaining portion of my brain, the more connections are reactivated. My self confidence improves as I successfully complete courses. I am convinced that I will eventually complete my degree and find employment that is valuable both to myself and to society.

I have learned how to be more diciplined for the main part. Being an online student you so not have someone you can go ask after class for extra help, you have to find ways to make the material something you can understand. Attending the University of Phoenix-Online Campus has given me a sense of pride, knowing that I am doing this by myself, there is no teacher to turn to during class, since their are no actual class times. This has all helped me with my job skills as well, I am less reliant on everyone around me because I have found that no matter what I am learning, I can do it with little to no help. Yes, I am a very confient person.

I have received a sense of self-worth. Before attending college, my self-confidence was at a low point. I have improved the way I feel about myself with the advancement in my education. I have become a better person, mother, wife, sister, friend, and child. I have gained a better understanding of what I expect from myself and the people in my life. The most vauable thing I have received from furthering my education is a purpose for myself way beyond what I thought was possible. I never knew how much I had to offer the world. I always knew I was a good person and I have always done what I felt was right, I just never thought that my opinions were worth anything; I now know they are.

What I have gotten out of my college experience so far is that I really found myself. I know what I want to do with the rest of my life and I know where to go and what to do to obtain it. My dreams are going to be acheived because of my college experience so far. This first quarter has really provided me an immense amount of guidence in what classes I should take the next 3 or so years so i can achieve my goals. I, who quickly adapted to the college life, anticipate difficulty. This is another thing that my college experience, thus far, has taught me. I could not have asked more a better route to learn than college.

My college experience is a book told over time. I initially attended traditional college and did nto finish, I instead went straight to work and never thought I would be coming back to school. As the economy went bad, I quickly discovered that work experience would not be enough and finishing my degree was the most important thing I could do for me and my family. I came back to school at the age of 30 and currently achieved a 3.98 GPA. I plan to attend a graduate program at a major traditional school and apply my education to my work experience, giving me the edge I need. I have gotten a strong work ethic out of school, one I did not have the first time around. My daughter is my top priority and being a role-model to her is very important, I'm sure that I've gotten that out of school as well. The biggest thing though is simple, I finished what I started and I never gave up; I proved to myself and the world that I could do it. Now I am ready for bigger challenges because I know I can do it.

I have gotten so much out of my current college expirience. Not only educational but also mentally. My mother passed away in 2009 and since then, I have learned to grow up as an individual. College really sets goals for each individual to achieve and I plan on achieving all my goals. College is the most valuable thing a person can do because it opens up so many more options in life. I want as many opportunies as I can get. People who go to college are there because they want to learn, not because they are forced to go to school. I hope with scholarships that I recieve, I can fullfill my dream to finish my college years and reach my goals.
