Colorado State University-Fort Collins Top Questions

The most important thing that I have gotten out of my college experience is knowledge. Knowledge is used to create a purpose for what people are doing. If I know how to put different chemicals together to make something that is edible and nutritous, I can use that knowlege to introduce a new product on the market for consumers to try. It is essential for me to go to college to attain knowledge because I can learn how collectives exists in modern society and use that knowledge to find solutions to social problems such as poverty. The value of going to college increase immensely when you understand that knowledge is one the best things that any person can get out their college experience.

Going to a community college for the past two years has really let me grow as a person and student. I have learned a lot stayin home for my first year rather then going straight to a four year college. My current college experience has taught me to step out of my comfort zone, and to really just be myself. Since graduating this past year and going to college I have learned so much. Teachers/professors, and the class material as whole is much more interesteing and thought provoking. What I have learned the most is that I can now stand on my own two feet, and really expand my knowledge of the world and things going on around me. I am a nursing major so school is extremley important to me. Going to college with this major is really exciting.

Colorado State University has been incredible! The majority of the faculty are helpful, considerate, and sincerely interested in the students and learning. It was very affordable and I know I made the right decision.

What I have learned from my college experience there is always a way to meet your goals. At first, one may feel alone and unsure of where he wants to go. Truth is that there are many different people pursuing many different ends. No matter how different one might think she is, how alone she might be in her interests, she is never alone. There is always a way to make it work. College can be a great way to both initiate and encourage new ideas leading to successful lives. Success is never automatic, however. One must always put in the effort to find the support, whether it be through clubs, professors, advisors, family, or peers. Networking is key. It takes an adventurous mind, a mind willing to try new options, and a mind that never gives up. There are tons of resources at most every campus that help students discover new means of achieving their dreams. It never hurts to ask. Little did I know that there were clubs of people who shared similar if not the same ideas and goals that I had. By networking and connecting with people on campus, new doors are guaranteed to be opened.

Since I've been in college, I've gotten a lot out of the experience. I've acquired great social skills and organization skills. I've learned how to set priorities to achieve optimal study habits. College has also been very valuable to obtain people skills. Whether it was meeting new people on campus or in dorms or creating a relationship with a professor knowing how to speak to individuals in a friendly manner has proven to be beneficial when working in an office setting as well as with any other individual I come in contact with.

My college experience so far, although short, has presented so many new situations to me that have helped me grow in my l;ife. I was submerged into a group of people I didn't know, and learned how to form bonds and friendships with complete strangers by finding one simple thing we may have had in common, no matter how small. Although my high school courses were rigourous, I also learned a new level of commitment and try required for most college courses, a lesson that will stay with me and aid me in the years to come. Also, I learned the importance of balance, a skill I am still working on as I work 30 hours a week in addition to attending school full time. My strive for balance between work and school has always been difficult, but my hard work pays off as I work to pursue my dreams and passions, a college education, and rodeo; a sport requiring more compassion and teamwork than can be imagined between a person and their horse, their partner in rodeo, and thier friend. It is these many things college has challenged me with and taught me the value of.

It is a common acceptance for many people that college was “the best time of their life.” Personally, my CSU experience is defined by my personal growth. At CSU, I am expanding my goals, aspirations, perceptions, knowledge, and experience. I have learned that life is short and it goes quickly, and a goal of mine upon entering college was to make the most of my experience. To do this, I am becoming involved, engaging in learning, and creating a unique experience for myself. It would be unfair to label any single experience or moment as defining my experience at CSU. In my experience at CSU, I feel as though I had a personal epiphany to the world because I have grown so much in thought and awareness. Consequently, my experience at CSU has defined me by giving me new opinions, perceptions, knowledge, friendships, and so much more. I do not consider myself a different person than when I entered CSU; I instead consider myself a more developed and expanded version of that person. I have grown and progressed in several different aspects of my life, and I am very aware and thankful for that transformation.

My college experience was valuable to me in so many ways. Personally, I have discovered so much about myself in terms of who I am, things I like, people I get along with and how to interact with others. Academically, I have learned more than I thought I ever would about numerous subjects: health, sports medicine, horticulture, life sciences, physical sciences and chemical sciences. I learned how to achieve what I want by working hard and working with teachers and supervisors. Studying abroad between my junior and senior year was also extremely valuable to me in that it helps me to reach beyond my comfort zone and learn about a different culture and how to depend on myself. But the most important thing I learned during my experience at CSU was what I want to do for the rest of my life; I discovered my passion for sports medicine and athletic training. Now, I will continue my valuable education experience at University of North Carolina at Greensboro for graduate school.
