College of Saint Mary Top Questions

Life isn't easy. College isn't easy. And honestly, it's just going to keep getting harder, but that doesn't mean you quit trying. Now is the time to try your best and you will succeed. All of the hurt and pain you had to go through to get to the end will all be worth it. Even though you may not know what you want to do for the rest of your life, that doesn't mean you're a failure. College is about trying new things and somewhere along the line you'll figure out what you want to do. Once you figure out what it is that makes you click, take it and run. Like I said before, always try your best and you will succeed. Throughout the new adventures with people you thought you would never meet, don't forget about yourself. Take care of yourself and do what is best for you. Don't you ever change for anyone. And along all the confusion and chaos, don't forget about God and your family. They will ALWAYS be there for you every step of the way.

I would tell myself that I should look for more scholarship oppertunitys as a senior in High school. I also wish I could have taken more college classes. I would tell myself that I need to look at more colleges and see if there are any that would fund my schooling. I transitioned fine from being a high school student to being a college student, I would like to have looked for a school that could meet my educational requierments for myself. I expected this collegte to be way harder then what it is. I want a good education for myself so that I can make a difference in others lives. One last thing I would sayu to myself is "Dont expect much out of other students."

It has been valiable to attend because i have always wanted to either be a nurse or a teacher... I first pursued being a teacher but after taking a few classes for it, i wasn't interested. So i moved on to nursing and i really love it...There is always something new to learn and fast paced.

The studies involved in my classes have really helped me to brush back up on academics. I am a recent G.E.D. graduate and have really missed out on the education scene. The experience is really turning out to be a great one for me, except for the finacial portion. Being first year and sememster in college is more valuable for me to attend; as I've already a late start in continuing my education into college. It's giving me a great deal of knowlege and experience in the fields I want to pursue in lfe to work my way up in a career. Getting through college is my value of attending while the experience I hope can remain a good one.

I graduated from high school in 2007. At the time college was a blur to my prority list. I spent a year struggling from minimum wage job to minimum wage job. I decided that I wanted something more for my future. My parents sat down with my and explained the importance of getting a good education. College education looked better on a resume and it would expand my chances of getting a better job. I decided to attend a local community college early January of last year. It took time for me to adjust to going to school full time and working full time. The homework and study loads were almost unbearable at times. Some how I managed to pull myself through it. College helped me open the door to my future. I am currently working on a two year degree and I plan on following up with a four year degree at a different community college. College has provided me with new social and learning experiences. I have learned to adapt to different educational environments. I am glad that I made the decision to further my education. I know that the future will be brighter for my family.

I have gotten a lot out of my college experience. I moved 6 hours away from home so this has given me and opportunity to be out on my own and become more independent. Experiencing dorm life has been very interesting. At home when it is time fore bed you can have your space and complete silence if you want. Here it is the exact opposite, late nights, loud people, and it seems like you never get a good nights sleep. Overal my college experience has been good and would not change much about it.

This is a big decision that needs to be thought about carefully. You really like personal attention from teachers, so a smaller school would fit you the best. The quality of the education you are going to receive is one of the most important things to consider because this will lead you to vet school. You should go somewhere that you can get a good education and have fun at the same time. College is the time when you really figure out who you are. You should go somewhere that you can try out different things and figure out what your passions in life are. You know you are passionate about soccer, but you should not make your decision based on that alone. If you choose a school that has a high quality of education, variety of activities, and a strong support network you will excel in every aspect and have the best time of your life so far.

When I went to college the first time I dropped out after my first semester. If I could go back in time and tell myself as a senior in high school, I would tell myself just to keep going. Even if an opportunity comes up that may seem better then going to school, it is not. Just keep at it and become the person you want to become. It does not matter what anyone else wants you to do, going to class and getting good grades is more important.

Go into college knowing it takes a lot of time and effort, but also enjoy every minute of it. Make as many friends as possible and have fun! Put your mind to what you want to do and do it! If you're a student-athlete know that you have to transition from school and sports a lot and work around your schedule. Never give up in anything and always know God is there for you, especially when you need him most. If you struggle with finding friends, pray to God and he will help you find your place and the group of friends that is best for you. If you're not sure on what you want your major to be, don't rush it, pray to Him and He will help with that also. You won't know what you want to do right away, but it will come to you. This is the best advice I would go back and give myself as a high school senior.

Look at as many colleges you can. Make sure you choose a college for yourself and not because it is where all your friends are going, or thats where your parents went. Be very open minded when searching.
