Boise State University Top Questions

If I were a senior today, I would tell myself to enjoy the boring and painful days in high school and don't countdown the days until graduation or when you leave for college. That's the huge mistake I made; I counted each day until I left the wonderful island of Maui and dieregarded everything in-between. I was so concentrated on leaving, I missed out on all the fun. I cannot say that I regret that I was happy for leaving because we can't live with regrets, but I really do wish I could go back in time and spend as much time with my friends and family. Leaving the island only hit me at the worst when I'm at the airport because since I live so far away, I can only come back every 6 months, and the fact that I didn't have enough time for everyone saddens me because all those moments could've been happy and fun moments I would always remember. Note to self when living as a senior in high school again: ENJOY TIME WITH EVERYBODY!

So far I have gotten a world full of experience out of my time at collede. I have met so many new friends, taken so many amazing classes, and learned so many new and exciting things about life. The people I have met in college whether they are friends, classmates, or acquaintances are so nice and helpful that I can't help but appreciate everyone I meet even if it's just for a few minutes. The classes have opened my eyes to how education can, and should, be with helpful teachers and classmates who are committed to learning and bettering themselves. Many of my classes have had students who not only want to be there, they want to learn and make a difference in their life with that material that they've learned. I have learned so many things that are going to get me to where I want to be and what I want to do, and I'm not just talking about classroom material. I have learned life lessons while in college, lessons I will never forget,lessons that will stay with me my entire life in order to make me the person I want to be.

Atteneding college is definetely one step closer to entering the reality and work fields. It gave me a more realitic views on the society, and how I should prepare myself for this information-booming era.

I have not yet completed my college experience, it actually just started. but in the short time that i have been attending, i have learned a few valuable things. The most important of all though is commnication. With out it, it is difficult to work in teams or groups to solve a problem, or even to talk to your teacher/professor. It is also extremely valued in the real world where you need to be able to communicate with your boss and other employees.

The reason I go to college is for the knowledge. I am passionate about learning, and I very may well go to college for many many years. College is a life experience that you cannot mimick, I learn things that Icouldn't learn ANYWHERE else. It's a head rush.

In my first semester at Boise State, I have gotten more out of the experience than most students will in all the four years they spend getting their degree. I have recieved the chance to be an active member of the community, as well as an informed and involved student on campus. I have had the change to work with my peers on committees and in the classroom and work with administration on campus about matters concerning student life. I think the most valuable part of the college experience is making the most of your time outside of classes. If it weren't for my determination to make a difference and get involved on campus, I never would have been introduced to University President, Bob Kustra as "Freshmen of the Year."

My college experience has been very eye opening and motivating. Not only have Iearned to live on my own but I have learned about many different types of people and stepped into their reality. I have had a lot of fun watching our football team and felt the energy from all the other students as they won. The Boise State campus has a captivating view of the mountains and a peaceful aroma. It has been valuable to attend simply because I don't only have fun but the teachers are phenomenal. Because of them students are eager to learn. I have grown both socially and intellectually because of Boise State. Any other college experience would not of been as fulfilling.

From my college experience at BSU, I have learned that I want to expand my horizons and always take in more knowledge. It has been instilled in me from my university, that sense some things are not readily available, I must research and learn to attain them for myself. College in general has been a great value in the life lessons and experiences I have had. I have learned self reliance, and through a few fantastic professors, I have learned a great deal about people and the relationships that help us build our lives in a forward and upward direction. I cannot say that I regreat my experiences at BSU, only that I will strive to achieve new experiences and continue to better myself through education. College is more than books and exams, it is a way for young adults to learn, not just about their future profession, but how they want to live the rest of their lives.

I have learnded many new skills from my college experiences. Amoung those skills that I have learned, I found time management to be the most important. Time management does not only help me in college but can and will help me in day to day life. Attending college is important because it does not just give me the knowledge I need to start a carreer, college also has taught me life skills that I think will be very important as I continue in life. I believe that my experiences in college will start me on the right path in my life.

Extraordinary, unique and eye opening are all words that I would use to describe my college experience thus far. Growing up, as a first generation college student, I was told that I must go to college. I knew that this was true if I wanted to “get an education” and “earn money.” However, I was unaware of the fact that my college experience would include far more than just learning in a classroom. It is astonishing how much I have learned not only academically but also about myself in just one short year at Boise State University. It was a concern that I would have to change myself to “fit in” to the college crowd. It was surprising to come across such diversity. I was not expected to change but rather to grow in a population where acceptance is so highly respected. I have had the ability to explore a number of different career opportunities and I am not ashamed to say that I have changed my major about ten different times! I really appreciate the fact that this college encourages trial and error until the correct path is found. I am proud to say that I attend Boise State!
