Dallas Christian College Top Questions

I hesitate to write anything other than one word: Purpose. I came to Dallas Christian College after 7 years in a dead end corporate job that I started right out of highschool. I knew I was meant for something different; I knew the fabric of who I am was being stiffled on a career path that did not fit my design. I contacted other colleges, but DCC is the only one that took the time to help me discover my purpose from the onset. The admission counselor even told me then "what you think you might want to do will very likely change before you leave. Our hope is to make sure that you find what actually fits who you are." I am three years into my journey and I can honestly say that DCC has done exactly that. They have opened my eyes to a future that is purposed and fulfilling.

Growing up in the church I never thought that there was so much that I didn't know, but thanks to the professors at my school my eyes have been opened to many new things. I have learned new ways to study the bible and express my religion onto people along with many other helpful lessons in my degree. There is also an amazing community life. I have learned how to search for help within my classmates and other residents in the dorm. People always say college is the best part of your life and to cherish every moment of it and though I am not done with college yet, it has been an amazing experience that I will never forget. I have made lasting relationships on many different levels and have learned more about life than in any other part of my life.

Two years ago I started college for the first time, and immediatley it was an eye-openeing experience. The playing field was all different from what I was used to. During high school, my teachers would give me a progress report of my grades, they would always let me know where I stood in class, warn me if I missed an assignment, and classes were a lot shorter. My first day of college, all of my professors said pretty much the same thing, "This isn't high school anymore''. In a way I think it was generous of them to let me know that. They all made it very clear that the responsibility was in our hands and not theirs. Since then, I have become a much more independent person. I know what it means to not only make goals but acheive them. I have better people skills, and I know how to make wiser decisions. My dedication is much more fierce and resilient. The value is that I have learned not only morals and values for school but also for the real world. I have gotten out of college something that I will have forever.

My first year at college was full of new experiences. I've come out of my first year a very indepenndant person. After meeting new people and learning about the cultural things from where they're from such as clothing styles and the music they listen to, I've become a diverse person. I've also become more self-diciplined than I was before attending. I had to set aside time for studying and working. At first, it seemed like everything was going to be overwhelming, but it was all a matter of setting up my priorities. I came out of my first year a better person and I can't wait to see how the following years help me to advance.

Before this college I attended a University in Lousiana, which was my home town and felt God leading me to attend Dallas Christian. When I came to Dallas i didn't know anybody here, but the minute I started school I felt very welcomed by everybody, including teachers. I have never had any kind of relationships with my teachers before this school, and they really make sure you understand the materials for the classes. Though the school is smaller and the computers are not the best, they still make sure you get the help you need, and everybody knows your name. This school has not only helped me learn in a fun way, but also to know God and an understanding of the bible more clearly than I have every known. This school has been very valuable to me.

I have recieved joy utimately from my college experience. I believe that truly learning to be dedicated to something changes one's perspective on life around them. I learned time management, hard work, dilligence and I believe I am a better person for it. I know that the professors have my best interest at heart as long as I give them my best and try. I know that it has been valuable for me to attend because it is setting me up for success in the real world. I know that I will have the tools and the skills to make a successful teacher to the school that I attend on teaching at. I know that I can help the students I will be teaching with the mindset, attributes and lessons I learned from Dallas Christian College. I really believe that I am a better person since going to college and I know that because I have learned life lessons, met great people that I have formed lasting relationships with and I know that I am going to do better in the future with an education from Dallas Christian underneath me. I know I can take this and continue successfully.

My professors really truly care about me and what is going on in my life. They want to help me in life. That means so much to me.

what i have gotten out of my college expericence is how much can not live my life with god and how he can help. it has been the best two years of my life

I have felt that the education I have gotten was one of a kind. However, I just think that the amount of the school is too expensive. I often wonder where funds are going to come from to help pay.

I have gained confidence through my college experience. With every class I complete I feel more prepared to enter the workforce due to the knowledge I have gained. It is removing the fear of the unkown future and I relax with a sense of empowerment that knowledge brings. My relationship with the Lord is strengthened with each class as well and I can be sure that that is the driving force behind my confidence and sense of empowerment. It is the Lord who empowers me. It is so valuable for me to attend because I fully believe that employers want to see that degree with your resume because it shows a desire to follow through with committments. With my degree in hand I will (hopefully) stand out as someone who does indeed follow through with what I set out to do. It shows a certain determination to succeed in this life. That is all I really want. I want to succeed in life and do the things that one needs to in order to obtain that!
