University of Phoenix-Online Campus Top Questions

My first few semesters as a college student have helped me discover some of who I am. Discovered some great friends, had some amazing social and educational experiences, and found what kind of impact I want to have in my life. Although I focused more on myself than my studies, it’s prepared me for the drive I need to finish. Now that I’ve started my family, that drive is fully intact, and I’m excited to finish. I want to create a life I can truly enjoy, with both my career and domestic aspects. I am determined to become a thriving architect. So far, I have taken basic core classes and a few basic art classes. Core is a bore, but the courses that are more focused on my major are a blast. My arts have helped focus inward on myself, to bring myself into my work more than ever before. And it has forever changed my efforts for the better.

I have gotten a few things out of my college experience so far. I have made some great friends, both with fellow students and with my professors. Both of whom have taught me some key things to moving on and having a better future. I have gained a sense of brotherhood with my newly aquired friends from the cross country team, they have given me reason to keep coming back to school, and even more reason to try my best in school as well as sports. Probably the biggest thing I have gained from my college experience, is the thing everyone comes to college for; an education. I have put so much information into myself in the past three years, and I have learned so much from everyone I have met, things I could not learn out in the real world, things I could only learn and experience through the college experience.

I have gotten a better understanding of the social services field in the aspect of the aging population. This college experience has allowed me to learn from experienced professors that are actively working with the aged population in different aspects and have been able to provide me with insight as to what I will be looking forward to when I complete my Masters in Gerontology.

I have gained many things both personally and professionally throughout my college experience. My college experience has afforded me the personal opportunity to expand my friendship base via my academic network. My college experience has also challenged me personally to view things much more reflectively than I had done previously. My college experience has afforded me professional experiences to expand my ability to gain accurate research information to stay informed within my chosen field of study or other related professional fields.

So far out of my college experience I have learned exactly what I have set out to learn and met some very interesting people along the way. I have learned various new study habits and have learned what it is like to communicate with others online rather than face to face. I have learned to discipline myself and have aquired great study habits. I have learned a great deal about diversity and what the IT field may consist of once I land that dream job Im after. This school has been valuable to attend because not only are the hours flexable for my schedule but I am learning exactly what it is I want and need to learn to become successful in the field of employment in which I am currently seeking. Information Technology is constantly growing and this school happens to keep me up to date with the technology I need to be aware of as I get closer and closer to graduation. My success at school will reflect my work ethics and so far they are proven to be wonderful thanks to the University of Phoenix!

I have gotten the most of my college experience, I say this because I've learned that college is nothing at all like high school. I feel as though with college it's not really going to school like you were used to when you went to grade school or high school. College is more like a business where you are to follow the rules with seriousness and be as diligent as possible. Otherwise you will recieve a failing grade and you will have to pay for that class yet again because you screwed up on your end. So far I have been fortunate enough to pass all my classes and not recieve a failing grade. But with college you are going into the adult world and there is no time for fun and games, that's what I've gotten out of my college experience and why it's very valuable to attend as much as you possibly can.

Knowledge is power. Attending college is one of the crucial steps I must go through in my life so that in the future I will be able to not only support myself, but also help others in need. I am currently a second year student at Clark College and aiming for one of the most exciting major on the planet: Electrical Engineering! Of my college experience, I have gotten out not only the knowledge of my field, but also social skills. Learning to interact with people is another essential type of knowledge that everyone has to learn. The more I learn about it, the better person I become. Yet, I will never graduate from the school of social skills. Just like writing, one can become a great writer, but will never be a perfect writer. Although it might sound unfortunate to some others, it sounds great to me because I know that I will never stop growing. College is an extremely wonderful place to be in. Next fall, I plan to transfer to University of Washington to pursue my dream career as an electrical engineer!

My experience at University of Pheonix has allowed me to research and refocus my career aspirations while keeping me motivated towards my degree. The completion of each class is a success as well as a learning experience. The on-line class participation and dicussions have given me access to the opinions, experience, and knowledge of people already in the field of my studies. The on-line venu of learning is not without it's challenges, but allows students to manage their studies while managing other demands in their lives. This experience via the computer has also taught me as a student value and choose words that appropriately express my thoughts and make my points in an academic environment. I feel this has helped me grow as a communicator and a person. My experience at University of Pheonix has increased my quality of life and those who I come in contact with.

I have met people from many enthnic and cultural backgrounds who are very interesting, educated, helpful, and supportive to myself as well as my fellow students. I have become more computer literate, have had a sea of resources provided for my educational needs as well as given directions on how to find resources for future prospective jobs within my field of choice. The course instructors have been from diverse backgrounds with a life time of experiences in the work force as well as in education. I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience thus far and would recommend anyone who has a similar situation to get a college education it is never too late.

I decided to attend a community college first because I felt that since I had to help pay for everything, it would be a good idea to save as much money as possible, also because my mother wasn't ready for me to leave yet.

This experience started for me in 2004 when I was laid off from my job as a machine operator because the company moved the operation overseas.

I love internet courses because it allows me to work and continue my education at the same time.

I have not attended yet, I am registered for the fall. Both of my parents do not have college educations. I will be the first on my father's side to go. My father is a skitzophrenic, and my parents are divorced. I work full time, and I live on my own. A college degree will give me the opportunity to excel in my community. My tution is paid but I desperately need money for books, and required supplies. I work but when you live on your own, car insurance, rent, electric and gas add up really quick. With a degree in business I will be able to support myself and lend a hand when needed. College allows you to make several contacts that could help you later in life, it is not just what you know, but who. The expirience is priceless, and I am looking forward to attending.
