Fitchburg State University Top Questions

I've enjoyed my college experience for the most part except for The financial side of things.

I spend my time working a part time job, maintaining a high GPA, and spending most of my free time in SGA (Student Government Association). College has already taught me so much but I feel that the most valuable thing college taught me was what it truly means to be a leader. As president of the freshmen class I have learned that leadership is much more than planning social events and keeping your team tight nit. It’s about being reliable, approachable, and a good listener. You have to do a lot to make sure everything turns out okay in the end. People look up to you; they respect you as an individual. Now that I truly understand what it means to be a leader it will truly help me in the future.

i have not attended the school yet. but i am hoping for it to bring me to my dream

So far, I have matured a lot during college. I have learned what it is like to live on your own and how to be responsible with money and spending in order to make sure I am able to pay my tuition. Even though I am the same age as I was when I entered college last fall, I feel as though I have grown a couple years. People in college act like adults and it has taught me how to act professional. Each of my professors have taught me valuable lessons about being responsible. Sometimes I had to learn my lessons the hard way when I did not complete an assignment. In highschool, you could sneak through your class without doing some assignments. In college, everything you do matters and your grade is penalized for not meeting the requirements. I have been given a healthy dose of the real world and I feel that once I graduate in three years, I will be fully ready to face the challenges of life.

I would say the best thing I've gotten out of my college experience is that there is no such thing as "too much knowledge". Being able to learn new things throughout the years is a great feeling.

Their supportive attitude is what has kept me engaged in college, as opposed to in high school, where the only goal seemed to be to get us out of there. College has helped me look at education in a whole new light, not as something that is required or excpected of me, but as something that can be both beneficial and enjoyable. Before college, I never would have gone out of my way to learn things outside of what was required of me. Now I find myself heading to the library after classes to read more about what was just discussed in class.
