University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Top Questions

Through my stay in college I have developed a maturity and deeper understanding of what life is all about. Gone is the childish ideology and mindset of high school in my life. The beauty of college and its higher learning is in the fact that only what you put in, is what you will get out. I have gotten a fresh mentality and outlook on life. College experience is difficult to gauge in terms of value because its effects and results are long reaching and beneficial. I believe that its value can only be measured through the hard work and application put into your work.

What I?ve gotten from my college experience is the confidence and motivation that I?ll need to make a good life for not only myself but others in the future. I feel I've learned so much not only about the material but about myself since I have begun attending school. Since attending school I feel I?ve really come out of my shell and become the person that I?m meant to be. I used to be shy and quiet and since attending school I feel that I have now become a better leader and friend. My school has also given me the opportunity to lend out a hand and volunteer. My school had given me so much and I know that by the time I graduate I?ll be ready to be an amazing nurse, and because of them I?ll be able to go out and help others out there that need help. Going to college has done nothing but better who I am as a person and I have no doubt that my university would do that for anybody else who attended it which is why I feel that a college education is so valuable.

What I have gotten out of my college experience is an atmosphere of community learning where I as an undergraduate student can learn in a capacity that is comprehensive, stimulating, challenging academically, and collaborative in the small classroom with a variety of diverse students that resignate from all kinds of backgrounds, cultures, and language. In the classroom environment of my educational institution, it is comprehensive in that I the student takes the theories, concepts, and imperatives of each field subject I learn that is complex in its entirety and apply it in basic applications to my own understanding and the understanding of my fellow classmates. My learning experience is stimulating in that I as the student has the chance to voice my comments, objections, thoughts, judgments, and feelings about a term, concept, or theory in a subject I agree or disagree to or have no knowledge about. My school environment is academically challenging in that I as a student is prompted and encouraged to excel and perform cognitively beyond my own educational expectations. The environment has been collaborative because I have been willing to participate in group activities. My college experience has been valuable in completing internship fieldwork.

So far I have valued that college is helping me become a independent adult. Its helping me feel I can live on my own and be in control responsibly of my freedom.

I have seen what the college life is all about. I have met very interesting people, I have learned from the best in the field. I have heard other opinions and other points of views. I have interacted with multiple different individuals and learned about other cultures and backgrounds. I have made a few friends and important contacts that will help me advance in my career. I have exposed myself to a world of knowledge and wisdom that can only be obtained by listing with an open mind. Overall I feel prepared and smart, I feel like I am capable of making educated choices about life, politics, work, etc.

What i have gotten out of my college experience the most is that no matter where a person comes from,or what has happened in his or her lives ,it is never a reason to give up on your goals,or dreams of becoming what you want to be in life. Attending a small career college like i do ,you find people of all color,ages,and different backgrounds that are trying to make a better life for their selves as well as their families.Ive learned that goals or dreams ,no matter how far in life you are ,can always be fulfilled with the right amount of motivation,and desire to do so. I believe that being able to attend my college on campus has been significant to my education by experiencing the comrodary of my fellow class mates as well as the faculty at Indiana Business College. It is a experience that i recommend to anyone who is debating whether to go on or off campus,and something that i will always remember for as long as i live.

What I've gotten out of college experience is more responsibility and a bigger chance to help change myself into an adult. It may be fustrating, but I know it will help me out in the future. It's valuable because it will affect my future completely, like others who have been to college. I have met more people and made new friends who help me, and I have some teachers as friends who are kind and helpful. Without college and any of the people to help me along the way, I would be completely stumped and confused about what to do next. Thanks to my family, teachers, and friends I have met in this college, and I hope to spend my next three years after this with them. I hope to meet more people that I can help. When I go on in my college life, I will look at the freshman and try helping them, while thinking to myself. That was me.

The moment I stepped on to UW-Milwaukee's campus I fell in love. The diversity introduced me to a whole new world considering I grew up in a small country town, so this was a good experience. Everyone I've met has been friendly, and very determined, and this always helps me to push along with my work and not give up. Everyday is a new adventure, and I am always learning something, especially since most the people I know are of a different diversity and have a different idea of what they want to do with their lives. It is a great experience being here and I wouldn't take back a single day.

THe first thing that I've learned from college is that it's a lot different from high school. Nobody is there to hold your hand. It's up to you and it's about making choices. You have the choice to go to class or not. The teacher wont ask you over and over if you have your homework. It should be done or it's not getting collected. It also moves at a faster pace. If you do miss class you are missing a big part of it. It's in your best interest to be there if you want to pass the class.

If I were able to go back in time, I would have a lot of useful advice to tell myself as a high school senior. First of all I would tell my self not to worry about the future, and to just take one step at a time. With the right preparations everything will work out, and there is no need to stress over it. I would advise myself to do a lot of research about the colleges that I was considering. When deciding on a university one should visit the school to make sure that the environment is one you want to live in, one must consider the location, and lastly the opportunities the school offers. You don?t want to end up going to a school that has nothing to offer you. College is a big adjustment, but is you set goals and stay focused everything will work out in the end.
