Bethune-Cookman University Top Questions

The one thing that I forgot to mention about my journey at Bethune Cookman University was about the historical journey I have experienced. I've attended a predominately hispanic school all of my life, and other than in my household and the few lessons taught during Black History Month, I knew very little about my heritage. When I signed up for the college tour while visiting universities before I made my decision, I was very intrigued as to how detailed the tour explained how the college came into existance by the vision of Mary Mcleod Bethune. As my freshman year started I was further excitied by the legacy she started and how they try so very hard at Bethune Cookman to keep her memory alive, not just in my African American studies class but also throughout the campus. There are memorials throughout the campus reminding us to fight for our rights, stand up to adversity, keep our heads high and to continually strive for the education we deserve. If I've learned this much in my first year at Bethune Cookman, I can't wait to see what the future years have in store for me.

I have recieved so much knowledge and understanding from my college experience. I believe i've learned the ropes in order to succeed after college. Ive learned how to network with my fellow classmates, in order to understand the lessons, and in order to complete my assignments on time and correctly at all times. Ive met so many great people, and have made some true lifelong friends. My professors and other faculty members contribute to my college expeirence as well, because they have given me the tools and skills to stand on my own two feet, once i graduate. Also, Ive learned so much about my major, that it makes me excited to graduate and actually start helping people as much as I possibly can. I am very grateful for what I have gained from my college experience.

In the one year I've been in college, I find it to be the most extraordinary experience. Meeting new people, journey off to somewhere new and learning more than what my high school can offer. I take in everything and treasure the moment of my college experience.

The skill I have gotten out of my college experience is a greater sense of discipline for the future in my adult life. I believe college is huge step into helping me succeed as an adult in the real world and the competitive work place. I value this as a mature young adult, because being displined and responsible builds to my character and integrity that people look for to seperate me as an individual. Hard work and discipline always gets the job done, and in my major, accounting, getting the job done correctly and efficiently is key to completeing your task. I will never regret attending college, because it will only benefit me in the long run.

Transfering from a multiracial university to a bcu i have gotten that culture that was only briefly touched on at my previous college. Being around people that is all the same race was valuable to me because in the media view we are badly represented and to see everyone trying to better themselves is inspiring. Also to have proffessors that can relate to experiences that i have been through instead of going of what they saw in movies, or have read in books. It is whole other demension of learning that i have gained being here that i didn't get where i was at previously,and that the four years i am here.

i have not yet attend Bethune Cookman.

I am very blesssed to be a part of the Bethune Cookman family. The staff is very supportive. The instuctors are very helpful and they will see that you get the best from your experience

During my college experience I have gotten the chance to learn how to be more independent and how to manage my time. I consider this valuable because when your in college you have to do alot of independent studying and work. However, you can only achieve this goal if you learn how to manage your time. Time management determines how you get things done, how things look, and what you learn. If you always wait until the last minute to finish work or study for a exam or test, it becomes harder to learn the material because all your doin is memorizing the answers you need to pass. I consider the time managment skill to be the most important. There is a time to have fun and a time to work, the goal is to balance the two.

My college experience thus far has taught me many things. I have learned to enjoy life while it lasts. After my first semester I realized that I had to develop better study habits and have learned to stop procrastinating and to do important things first. Time management has been one of the most valuable things that I have learned. When posed with the question "what have you gotten out of your college experience and why has it been valuable to attend", most people would explain what they have learned in their classes and how they have chosen a major and have everything figured out. Not being "most" people, I have not chosen a specific major yet, I do not have everything figured out and I do not have a dream career. I learned that I do not want to pursue a career in veterinary medicine or communications. I learned that I want to hold a position of power someday and I learned enough about myself to know that I have what it takes to achieve my dreams. This, amoung other things is what I have gotten out of my college experience so far.
