Georgia College and State University Top Questions

The first piece of advice I would have given myself would have been to learn how to study better in high school instead of having to learn how to in college! You may think college will not be that hard, but on the contrary, it sure is. Another piece of advice would have to definitly completed more AP classes to get some of the core classes out of the way so I could have begun my major classes earlier! Another small piece of advice, I would have never brought this much stuff to college! The closets are not sufficient for all the clothes I have!! But most of all, I would have told myself to take advantage of the time to spend with your family because now that I am at college, I miss them more than ever and I do not get to see them everyday, so take advantage of the time you have with the ones you love!

I have learned a lot about myself through learning about the world around me.

I've been at my college for the past four years and I do not regret attending there at all. Since my freshman year, I've made lasting friendships and relationships that I know I will keep forever. I've discovered a lot about myself and who I truly want to be once I walk across the graduation stage. The professors, classes, and student body, have helped me find out who I am and what my priorities and goals are in life. The college has also taught me what is truly important in life, and that is to never give up on your goals and to never be afraid to be yourself. Without Georgia College and State University, I would not be the successful student with a set future that I am today.

I have met some of my very best and life long friends. I also am learning a great amount in my content area of education. We are hands on in the classrooms from day one and I feel like that is a great value because it has given me a great sense of what I want to do after graduation without being thrown into the "real world" without having had experienced it yet.

I have gotten many things from my college experience so far. I feel like the person I am now is someone more mature then the person I was only a semester ago. College definitely made me grow up and become a more responsible person. From an academic perspective I learned how to truly study and use my time wisely. I wouldn’t have been able to stay afloat in college of I didn’t learn these valuable skills. I also learned how to take care of myself. My mom was no longer around to wake me up, do my laundry, provide food for me, and pay for what I needed. I had to do all these things now and had no one to depend on. College has been valuable to attend because It makes a person grow up and be ready for society after the fact. An education is a very important thing and without one life is a lot harder. I am thankful that I went and can go to school. I can’t wait for what else I learn in my next years, and what God holds for my future.

I have gotten many things out of my college experience. I have been given the opprotunity to grow up and take care of myself. I have been able to expand my social life and meet make many new friends. I joined a sorority my sophomore year which led me to come out of my shell and take on many leadership positions. I have been able to recieve the education and experience that I need to become the best elementary school teacher I can possibly be. Being a student at Georgia College and State Universtiy has provided me with many educational and social experiences that I will take with me for the rest of my life.

I have learned so much in college so far. I have stayed very focused in all of my classes and studied very hard for all the exams I have had. I am currently on the Dean's List at Georgia College and State University for academic good standing. My current GPA is a 3.6 and I am very proud of that. College has been valuable to attend because it is getting me closer to achieving of my overall goal for my career, to become a physical therapist. I have wanted to be a physical therapist for as long as I can remember. I want to become one because since I was a dancer for my entire life, I have had my fair share of injuries. I was sent to physical therapy many times and the therapist really helped me and brought me back to my full dancing potential. I would love to be able to help other people in the same way that I have been helped. College is very valuable to attend because it will help me achieve my goal of becoming a physical therapist.

Before I started attending college, I was basically lost. I didn't know where I was going, what I was doing, or even if I wanted to keep trying to do anything at all. My life was a mess, and I didn't really care about anything. But then, probably in an effort to get me to leave the house, my parents told me to sign up for college immediately. I didn't want to go, I didn't want to be forced to do anything I didn't want to do, but I went anyway, and it's made all the difference. I finally feel like I belong somewhere. I'm out on my own, and I don't have to feel scrutinized by my parents for all the mistakes I've made. College has helped me to finally grow up and see the potential I have. I'm excited for life instead of dreading the idea that I'll just live and die, and life will mean nothing. College has definitely been one of the best things that has happened to me, and I'm excited to have more experiences just like it.

I have learned that college is so much easier to do than I expected at first. I was worried I would have a hard time getting to classes and getting all of my work done, but so far it has gone by so smoothly. I enjoy every minute at college. I think it has been most valuable because not only have I met some wonderful people here, but there is so much diversity here. Being at a liberal arts college, there is something going on in the arts and fine arts departments every week. I have been to three plays and seen a chorus, band, and orchestra concert. Everyone is also so committed to what they do here. Just the feeling of accomplishment tells me that I have chosen the right school for myself. I know i made the right choice in coming to Georgia COllege and State University.

It is a great school if what you're looking for is the small school atmosphere and the close-knit communities. It's a school I've found that you either love or you hate, with almost no middle ground. I personally disliked my experience there and have now transferred to another university, but I think it was a decent place to start my college career since the classes are small and you're not just a number in the crowd. People usually do know your name and the departments are small enough that after having a few semesters, you'll be acquainted with at least half of the professors, which is always helpful when you're trying to get paperwork done and so on.
