Florida Atlantic University Top Questions

I have learned a lot during my years in college and have been at a couple different schools. I was first at a large school in a college town, and have now switched to a town which does not revolve around the college. There is a big difference and it makes you focus more on the task at hand. I think the party schools are not necessarily a good thing for students because they turn young adults into binge drinkers. Not only does it devalue the education they are paying for, but it does not prepare them for a work environment. After four years of college at a school where all they have learned is what bar serves the cheapest drinks, or which fraternity has the best parties, it offers no value for a future employer. At a school like FAU most of the students already work full time and go to school after work just to finish their degree. Completing the bachelors only adds value into their lives and does not have consequences some of the other schools may have on students.

My college experience has been very valuable to me. I had always been the quiet shy nerdy girl in high school. However when I started college I found that people would take me as myself which was funny, quirky and loud. During High school I keept it all in not wanting anyone to look at me in some wierd fashion. College has been the most valuable to me in the aspect that I have learned that you can be yourself regardless of what you may think others will think of you because you will find people that do relate and love you for just that, you.

So far I have gotten information that I will need to start my career. It has been valuable to attend college due to the fact that I want to succeed inlife. I also would like to give my daughter the courage to continue her education when she is all done with high school. I believe that it is valuable to attend school because I am paying for it and I want to get the most out of what I am paying to attend school. Being as young as I am, I need to extend my education beacuse now days you need a degree just to get a good paying job.

I've learned so much while being away at college. I've learned time management and a lot of responsibility. At first I thought the freedom would be easy to handle, but then i reaslized how much i missed having my mom wake me up early and pushing me to do my work. It took me a while to get myself motivated and not be the average lazy freshman, but now I have my head set straght and i am ready to finish college with nice grades.

It has taught me much about the engineering field in general and all the aspects of it. It has also taught some of the finer aspects of electrical engineering and what they do. I have also made some great friends and even joined a club that is part of a society that i didnt even know existed. The society of automotive engineers which will not only help me learn other engineering fields and get me experience that can help me get me a job as an electrical engineer.

So far at FAU I have gained alot by just attending classes 3 times a week and walking through on campus. There is always events going on and everyone is really mature and friendly! I have gained the confidence to speak in front of large amounts of people, I have also learned how to effectivley have mutal relationships between males and females. I relate myself to alot of people and their interests.

So far, my college experience has taught me one major thing about life, which is: Don't live with someone unless it is absolutely necessary. Based on this sole lesson, my college experience has proved its great value. Being here, living with a roommate has reinforced the notion that I never want to depend on anyone financially, nor do I want the misfortune of having to live with someone because I don't have the means to support myself. This living arrangement alone has compelled me to want to finish college that much more with two degrees in an attempt to be more versatile and be more of an asset to corporate America.

My college experience so far has been amazing! I have grown into a woman since high school. Being in college I have made myself an independent woman, which is very hard in this society. I think that being at college with other students I get to see the ways that others live and are less fortunate in the opportunies that I have. I have had the opportunies to work with Deaf and Hard of Hearing students and they push me to work hard in college. I think going to college is an important skill for all people to experience. High school and College are two totally different environments. In College I have learned to disipline myself in my studies.

From my college experience, I have been able to become myself. People accept you for who you are so you don't need to try hard to fit in. Since I have been in this college, I have found organizations in which I can fit in. This means that everyone in those groups share similar traits as me. This way we all can relate on specific topics. Plus the challenge in college is great. I love adventures and challenges. College has helped me discover what I am best at. I went from being very quiet and antisocial to being communicative and outgoing. Now with this diversity I am able to be me and even more. I am willing to take challenges and pushing toward my limits.

College is one of greatest experiences I have had in my entire life. It has opened the doors to new cultures and a diverse group of people. College is an excellent place to discover who you truly are. It is a place where everyone has something in common; they have all made the decision to attend a school in order to enhance their education. College has been a very valuable experience because it allowed me to become comfortable in my own shoes, learn how to balance work, school and a social life. It is truly a priceless experience.
