George Mason University Top Questions

I have been taught to be responsable and punctual. I used to be late to all my classes in Highschool and gotten away with a B or even an A. Now, I feel that if I am not responsable with my assignments, projects, etc. it will damage my career, because I feel that this is the time in where young adult's lifes are being shaped and an understanding of the world is being made.

Thus far I have just completed the admittance process. I have learned that applying for college can be tedious if you are not properly prepared. You must have all of your information ready before you even begin the application process. Even though the school has financial aid officers and other staff to assist you, I learned that they do not always have the right answers and therefore, as a new college student, you must be prepared to do a lot of research on your own. I learned a lot during orientation, but I will need to do further research to look into what works best for me. I anticipate getting all that I can out of attending college, including financial aid, communicating and interacting with other people and ethnic groups. After receiving my certificate, I can elect to persue a higher level of education and will have earned credits to take with me. My college experience has been VERY valuable to me because it is a door that opened for me as I venture into another era of my life. This has to be the most important and valuable decision that I ever made.

My experience at Mason has granted me opportunities and challenges that have prepared me for the future. It has allowed me to grow as an individual, with an open-mind to other races/ethnicities. Mason taught me how to discipline myself and transform into a mature and hard-working, success driven individual. Furthermore, I have met some of the best people in the world here who have guided me and motivated me to do my best.

Through my experience at George Mason University, I have gained a greater understanding of life as whole as well as my passion for the field of Psychology. I am going to the education field, so I can say with much confidence that Mason has prepared me well for my career. I can now apply all of the knowledge I have acquired to my daily interactions with people, and can better understand humankind as a whole. My undergraduate experience at Mason has also been valuable because I have learned a lot academically while being in a diverse environment. This has been extremely rewarding, and the setting has allowed me to grow significantly as a person. Lastly, the diversity found at Mason has impacted my cultural awareness and understanding of a variety of communities and groups. This entire learning process has positively influenced my overall personality and growth, and has prepared me for the real world working with a diverse group of learners!

I have learned multiple different things in college and become a more well rounded individual. The broad variety of courses offered have allowed to study what i truely desire which is finance. While being away from my parents living on my own i have grown up a lot becasue i was responsible for my self and my actions. Throughout college i have matured more than my friends who have not attended college. Also once i earn my degree i will be able to make a difference in the business environment.

The first few weeks of entering Mason, it was all about finding classes, buying books, waking up on time and juggling work and school. It was very stressful. Then a few weeks in, it was time for the first round of exams. I thought it was only going to be more stress; it was, but I was not the only one. My email had quite a students who went to work too, and needed to study. Study groups formed, friendships made over many cups of coffee and numbers were exchanged. I think that was the turning point. College now is still stressful, but it also fun. I am learning to organize my time, set and meet deadlines, ask for help when I need, and give help when I can. The school calendar is filled with lectures and seminars, sometimes about topics I have not even heard about and I go in, drink coffee , meet and learn something new every time. Class discussions are about disagreeing with each other in a constructive, open manner and has helped me broaden my views tremendously. These are just some of the lessons I have learnt since attending Mason, and they are lifelong lessons.

I started my college experience when I was a Junior in high school. It has definitely been a long journey to complete my Associates degree, but it was all worth it. I wouldn't change anything about my college experience, I have learned so much from my past professors and my fellow classmates. My time attending college has been valuable because it has made me realize why I want to pursue my dreams into becoming a Forensic Pathologist. I am so very grateful that I have the opportunity to expand my mind and continue my education.

Attending this college only made me realize I am halfway through accomplishing my goals of becoming a Chemist with my PhD. It has definitely made me 1000{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} more independent and struggle financially.

College made "real life" more visible. Therefore, I learned what the true value of friend and that my family will be there for me when no one else can. I gained respect for my peers who barely showed struggle and were taking on far harder courses. College has once again, taught me that how to make a friend. Obviously, it has increased my intellectual ability, more than I thought possible in a year. It became apparent that I can still relate to literature even though it was written 100+ years ago. It has taught me that I am soley responsible for myself. Life in college is nice, because I am able to focus on school, friends, and myself. I can better myself, so one day I will better the world.

The main thing I got out of my college experience was a bachelor's degree, which qualified me for a few entry-level jobs. Now I'm back at a school I dislike for graduate school, and I'm hoping that that will help me more. I like the school a lot more now that I don't live on campus and have friends elsewhere.
