Colorado State University-Fort Collins Top Questions

So far I have gotten education. That is the most valueable. I am a pre-vet student and must maintain a GPA above 3.75. I love science, and the education is what will get me to where I need to be. Classes and tests are simple, you cheat, sure you will pass, but when the final comes, you will fail. When it really matter, and you cheat through life, you will fail when it matters most. If you wish to accomplish your dreams, you have to work towards them and find them on your own, because they don't look for dreamers by themselves. Education to fallow a dream, a dream to fallow education.

College to me has helped me value life. I have learned that things in life can change fast but you need to be able to adapted to that. College is a fast pace place and so is life. Attending college is very valuable to me becaue it helps me in daily life. College has different effects on everyone but it is always good. It teaches you to get some where on time, if you dont push for something that you want it is harder to succeed.

This summer, I enrolled to take college classes. I was excited for the college life and what laid in store for me. I had heard from others that the college life involves responsibility, freedom, and excitement. In no suprise, all of them had been right, but I wanted to experience it myself. From this experience, I have learned that being a college student teaches the value and importance of adulthood. I no longer am under the care of my parents or teachers, but ultimately it is up to me to do what is necessary for my future success. There is no longer anyone there to hold my hand and guide me, but now the decisions and choices I make are nothing but my own and it is my duty to make the best judgment. It is true that college is fun, but the bigger picture for me is learning how to become a mature and responsible adult and that now childish and immature ideals should be put behind. Instead, it is a time for me to prioritize, find myself, and ultimately create success and independence. My college experiene has been valuable because it has showed me the reality of life.

Well from what I have viewed it is everything I need in a school and will allow me to express myself as an individual.

My college experience taught me who I want to be, who I am, and what I can be. High school in a small town came easy for me, life was easy, and left me searching for answers. College cured my hunger for knowledge and opened doors towards opportunities I never imagined had existed. What I thought I was going to with my future at 17 years old, and what I am doing as a graduate student working on a masters degree in German at 22 years old, could not be any more divergent. I have a few amazing professors at Colorado State and a few bad grades in science classes to thank for my discovery. Now, I have a direction in life, I have a whole new world of friends and confidants that started at CSU. The world is my doorstep. CSU's diversity and pressure to succeed pushed me beyond the boundaries that my small hometown tends create. Because of college I have broken the mold, and am doing something with my life. College is not only an education; it is a life changing experience.

I believe I have recieved more out of college than the average student. I just graduated from Nassau Community College with my Associates Degree. I had the ultimate college experience at Nassau Community College. I left there with a degree, life changing experiences, growth, a 3.8 GPA, an extensive activities resume, and an internship. It was an amazing experience, I became an Activist, a Public Speaker, a Lobbyist, a " Go Getter", a focused and cultured young woman. I created long lasting friendships with people from Nigeria, Pakistan, Denmark, Peru, Jamaca, Haiti, Dominican Republic, all over. I have learned a lot about these different cultures. One of my most memorable experiences was when we spent 3 hours in a Student Government meeting because the Muslim and Christian Fellowship club were arguing on what food to order for an event they were doing together. The Muslims wouldn't want to eat what the Christians eat and vice-versa. It was interesting to see how again religion was divinding people. Eventually, we came to the agreement to order less food of each type. I cherish every minute I spent at Nassau Community College. It was a true learning beyond the books experience.

My college experience has been a blast i have met a ton of new people and they have taught me a lot. The schooling that i have recieved up there is by far the best and the proffesors have been great, all of this has just made my college experience great and i will remember for the rest of my life

I learned at college that having a college degree doesn't create intelligence. I learned very quickly that college is like a game , and if that person is good at the game they can win. This has been valuable to me because it makes me question everything anyone says, no matter their level of education. I feel like we forget about common sense, and our own knoledge when we confronted with someone with a high level of degree. To truly be intellgent really means trying and not just cramming last minute or just passing with the lowest grade possibe., it is learning everything they can so that they can use their knoledge beyond their degrees. I feel like that is forgetton and sometimes these professors who have all the answers only look in the book.

Through my college experience, I feel I have learned the value of determination. There are many times during a person's education that a task may feel too difficult, or unreachable. I have continually learned how to commit to a project even if it feels over my head. I now know that if I commit myself and my efforts, the hard work always pays off. Determination is one of the most useful tools I feel I have attained through my college experience.

Out of my college experence at both Otero Junior College and now Colorado State University I have learned how to budget my time, money, priorities, and school work, while still keeping my same active life style. This has been valuable to me because it is better preparing me for my future, while at the same time I feel I am not giving up the young adult in me. College has tought me to spend my monet where I need it and not on just things I want. along with that, I can't continue to put things off until the last minute, I had to learn to budget time and start some things early. I have also gained the experience in putting my priorties first, which means school, and waiting to do things that are fun and recreational. College has also tought me to budget my school work right. Not to put if off until the last minute and instead star working on it early so when the due date rolls around I'm not as stressed. Finally, college has shown me that along with everything else, I still need to manage time for myself which is very valuable.
