Get evrything you need or collge EARLY. The quicker you get it done, the less you hav to panic at the last minute. Also just be prepared to see how other people see things, dont be judgemental when you hear something different for the first time. Just listen to what they have to say and take it in and think about it, then if you have something to say then say it. The more you study in huigh school the easier the transition to college will be. Make sure to at least take your book home and at the least read the chapter or the section you went over in class. Lastly, be very open-mided and be friendly and ake a ton of friends on the field and in the class rooms.

My advice would be to really take your high school time more serious. Often times it is easy to think about what is going on in the present time and not think about what is going to happen in the future. When the time comes when you don't feel like doing your homework, do it anyway. It may not seem like a big deal to fail a test, but it will be an even bigger deal later down the line. Lastly, make every day count. Take the initiative to do your best and don't let anything stop you from being your best you.

I have gotten a solid education that will bring me far in life. I love the fact I can worship God with other student around campus. I have had the opportunity to get closer to God and go to school and learn at the same time. This school has changed my view on the way I live my life. IT has made me a better person and has made me the person I am today. I have only attended one year, but the impact it took on my life is priceless. It has been valuable to attend Faulkner, because I have gotten to experience life on my own in a very warm and welcoming place. They made the transition from high school to college a breeze. My college offers so much; one would be a fool not to attend if admitted.

College has been a real eye-opener to me about what the real world is like. I've learned to defend my beliefs religous backgrounds. I enjoyed meeting all of the new people at my school.

From the start I did not receive the “traditional” high school experience and I knew in the end that it would pay off. I still attend high school here in my hometown, but aside from that I am attending college courses at my local community college. From the first day of classes I thought that I would find it difficult to adjust to the college atmosphere, but my parents told me I was mature enough to handle it. From the first day of class, I believed in those words my parents spoke and I have adjusted flawlessly into the college. I am also maintaining my grades, even as a high school senior. The experience and advantage that I have gained will only help guide me in the right direction in the future. I know that if I am able to handle high school, college, work and volunteering throughout this past year, I can handle anything that life will throw at me in the near future. My mindset is aimed directly toward my future career and any obstacle that I will have to overtake.

When i was on my recruiting visit the coach told me as simple as this. "We all know college is expensive and you might be in student loans, but when you go back home your buddy is going to be driving that same peice of crap around because he did not go to college you will have education ready to make the BIG bucks. College is a needed investment". It is valuable to attend because it is a investment in your life and a experience that will always be with you.

Choosing which college to attend was probably one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make. I wasn't quite sure that Faulkner University was the college for me but I gave it a try so I could accomplish my goal of playing soccer in college. I would have to say that this college has given me not only a great education but also friends for life. Before attending Faulkner I was very shy and kept to myself, now that I am a Junior I have learned how to open up to people not only outside of class but inside as well. Faulkner has helped me get over my fear of public speaking as well as talking to new people. My grades have also improved since attending college. I learned how to study while also managing my social and sports life. College has been valuable in my life because it has given me a broader out look on life. It has allowed me to understand what my future holds and it has prepared me for reality. I would have to say that this experience has changed my life for the better.

What I have gotten out of my college experience is the ability to form opinions based not on on the influence of my peers, but on my own assesment of various topics I've had to delve into on my degree path. College has been incredibly valuable to my development intellectually, and has given me the hardware and the confidence to express my opinions with eloquence, clarity and passion.

I've gained more independence, courage, and responsibility than I ever imagined from being in college. I have learned that if I want to make good grades, I have to work hard for them, they are not just given. Having to pay for my college education on my own has made me want to make the best grades I can, because I do not want to waste my money. I have learned to be more out going in college. College is valuable to attend not because of educational benefits alone but because of how much life experience you gain as well. While in college you learn so much about yourself and learn to handle situations on your own. No matter what major you are in college you are required to take classes that have nothing to do with your major. Some of these classes may seem trivial but they actually help you look at things critically instead of just focus on the obvious.
