Concord University Top Questions

I have enjoyed my college experience because I have grown more independent, more focused on school work, and plans for my future. I feel like becoming an adult has been an amazing journey the last 19 years, but I love being an adult and learning new things that will help me in my career. Concord is a great school for social work major's and the teachers truly help you learn the material, not just learn it for finals. The material sinks in and that will be most valuable in my career. My teacher tells us always that you don't want a doctor who skipped the heart surgery practice day in school or never learned the right heart valves. The same applies to social work. We are being advocates for those who are not strong enough to speak got themselves. You have to know what you are doing and Concord helps you do that.

It is my desire to be a counselor in the clinical setting that implements music as medium of therapy. Without a degree from an accredited Social Work program at a reputable institution, it would simply be impossible. Concord University certainly goes above and beyond those requirements. In my time here, I have become close to the faculty and their professional advice has been truly invaluable to me. Each of them has a genuine desire to see students succeed in their professional/post college lives. Also in my time here at CU, I have met some incredibly remarkable students and I am proud to call them my friends. Concord offers a multitude of social networking opportunites as well as extra-curricular activities that have made my college experience extremely enjoyable and meaningful. Additionally, attending Concord has submereged me into a world of diversity that I would not have otherwise experienced. Choosing to go to college, especially for me Concord University, has been perhaps the smartest and most rewarding decision of my life.

The Value Of College When I had finished High school I did not really want to attend college do to it costing so much and just waiting years and years for a career to start. I know it was something I had to do whether I wanted to or not, I knew it would make my future a whole lot better than what it is now. I do not get financial aid like most kids do, It does stress me out very much working full time and going to school full time, but I do make a lot of room for reading and my homework that is given to me. I am also able to keep my relationship of a year and a half now, to be steady. Attending college has been a great experience for me, I have learned a lot of good responsibility to prepare me more for the future to come. The value for me in attending college is for a better future, I know it will do me great, with wanting to be a forensic scientist I want to be able to change the world into a fearless world, that some are so afraid of.

I have gotten a lot from my college experience. I have learned a lot about my self and what I am capable of doing. I have become more self-confident and more willing to try new things. I have learned how I learn, how to study effectively, and time management. I have learned not to count myself out even when I am coming from behind. My view of the world and the people in it has grown. All of the knowledge I have gained as well as the experiences received and the abilities I have gained has made college valuable for me to attend.

My college experience has caused me to become reborn as a new individual. I became the President of the DIversity Council at the College of Southern Idaho. No one would have recognized or realized just how introverted and shy I once was it was debilitating. I desired nothing more, but to start college as a blank slate. I have come to see that college is an institution of the wealth of knowledge. College for me, however, is a mental virtual world of self-discovery. I was very open and ready to embrace who I was to become in college, and I have as a leader and a friend. As President of DC I have empowered others to pursue there path. Many question and are undecided with what little push I gave to any individual helped me as well. I have also come to realize that once we choose a path it is not set in stone. I have the whole rest of my life to have stages of epiphanies. College has taught me to live with no regrets to continue a journey not based on what others desire for me, but rather what my own soul yearns for me pursue.

I have gained motivation, abundence, patience, and knowledge. My name is Kristy, I am going for my CMA, then my MDS. I want to attend and gain knowledge of the medical field.

I have recieved a one of a kind great academic resume. The classes here are great and extremely hard but prepare our students better than anywhere else. The close relationship between faculty and other students brings such a more relaxed environment across camplus. The students mesh together well and join together in studies, clubs, and extracirricular activities. Intramurals are always a blast, especially for a retired high school athlete now focusing on school, haha. I am very happy with my choice at Concord University and will leave this school with not only a good deal of knowledge in my field but also with the confidence to know i can be everything and anything my heart desires.

I must say that completing college level classes has been empowering for me. I am a wife, mother of two toddlers and I work full time as a 911 dispatcher. After high school, I played around and "attended" but never completed any classes. I am now 27 years old and realize the importance of education and all that it can do for you. The class I have completed and the classes I am currently enrolled in are valuable to me because I am proving wrong all the naysayers who don't believe I will attain my goal of getting my bachelors in nursing. I am also proving to myself that I am powerful and can do anything so long as I put my mind to it.

Out of college I think I have gotten some of the best friends I will ever have and ones who will stick with me forever. Even if we loose touch I will never be able to forget them. I have learned to challenge my preconceived notions. For example, I always wanted to go to a large school far away from home, but it turned out that a small school in my state was even better. I learned that sororities are a good place to find a home away from home, and that no matter where you are, it is always good to know that someone cares about your well-being. I learned that you cannot judge a person's intellect based on how they dress, talk, or sometimes even their actions. The drug abuser could be the most knowledgeable and well-spoken student in your class. Or the faculty advisor for the pro-life group loves "Jackass." I have learned the importance of creating your own fun rather than relying on others to do it for you. We consider ourselves indepedent, but we still need to rely on others, and some efforts will not succeed without others' support.
