Lee University Top Questions

It may be cliche, but I have really found out more about myself than I have ever before. Due to the mindset of this campus being very Christian, everyone is truly there for you, hoping to help you find what you love to do with your life. This campus draws students from all over the world and requires you to study abroad for one semester. Learning about other cultures is not an option, and you learn about them through experiences. This makes the experience that much more memorable and enjoyable.

So far in my college experience I have been challenged to examine new material and information with critical thinking skills. This emphasis on self learning and personal investment has recently be adopted as a campus wide move to better equip Lee students for their future as life long learners. The attitude toward education among the faculty is that education is profitable and worthy as an end in itself rather than simply a means to a career. This attitude of adopting the identity of a student for life and being given the critical thinking tools to facilitate that direction have been the two most valuable lessons I have learned thus far at Lee. This instruction as well as the high expectations of excellence on campus have transformed me from the student I was as I left high school. When I arrived at Lee I was bored with education and ignorant to its true potential in my life. Lee's emphasis on critical thinking has led me to the point were I have bought into their idea on becoming an individual who pursues education for its own sake and my personal development.

I have learned a great deal from my college experience thus far. I have learned how to manage my time productively and effectively. I have learned how important it is not to lose yourself along the way, but to allow this seperation from home to help you grow and change into the person you desire to be in this life. I realize now that i really do not know everything, and it is important to take in the advise of those wiser than you. That there is so much to learn and experience in this world, and i cant be afraid to reach out and discover it. The knowledge that is obtained during this time in my life will be with me forever, and to hold on to it tightly. That you can achieve pretty much anything if you stay focused, work hard, and never give up on your goals.

I have learned a lot about the college life. When you live on campus you experience so much not only meet new people but you don't have your parents telling you what to do you have to do everything by your choise. Sometime your choises aren't right and you learn from them. Its very valuable to attend college away from your parents becasue you learn how the real world feels like. You get to experience life on your own.

I have learned many things from my college experience. The most important one is that I am smart but I have to put alot more effort into studying that other students do. I learned that one the hard way. I also learned that I can not study anywhere but this one spot in the library. I cannot study outside or in my room. I found a spot that I focus at very well all the way in the back of the library where many people do not go. I also have learned that it is important to make friends and to not disinvolve yourself. The more people you meet and make friends with, the more help you will have in your college experience. By making friends, you learn what classes to take and not take, how teachers test, what to study and not to study and many others. Basically, by finding a group of friends, you find a support group.

I have just matured so much from having to take responsibility in everything I do now. College has taught me that there is no room to slack off and that I have to give my best in everything I do 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c}.

I would tell myself to make sure not to go home very often, but to really immerse myself in my own life. I would tell myself to find ways to get involved right away and not be afraid to put myself out there. I would also tell myself to really take advantage of oppertunities to get to know professors, especially the first year, take every oppertunity to ask questions from upperclassman and faculty. I would advise not to worry so much about money, but spend more time focusing on character. I would tell myself that taking care of myself, with sleep and a healthy diet is so important to beign successful. I would tell myself to make good friends with someone who could be like a mentor. I would advise myself to be ready to think differently, and not just hold on to the way I have always thought. I would tell myself to start thinking about what I really believe about life, and not just accept the answers I was always given. The most important think I would say to myself is to not to be afraid of change.

first of all i would greet myself. then i would sit down and tell myself all the things that have taken place in my life in the future. then i would proceed to tell myself to get the idea of taking a full year off of school out of my head, and take only one semester. africa would be worth missing a semester but not a year. i would tell myself about all the hardship of not doing your fafsa on time and the disadvantages of doing so. i would tell myself about how hard college life really is, and how it will push you to find out who you truly are, and how i would have to grow up some much in just a short period of time. i would also warn myself of the people in my life that would pass, and how to deal and cope with their loses. then i would tell myself about how i love school and how i made the right choice in choosing the school that i attend and to prepare myself for the hardest four years of my life.

Decide where you would like to attend college as soon as you can. Listen to what your high school conselors tells you... they are experienced professionals and that is their job. Also, apply for as many scholarships as you possibly can (it can never hurt). Before ending this paragraph, I must remind you to enjoy your last year of high school. Grades are quite important; so are social skills and friends.

Be brave! Don't let the idea of being on your own and doing things for yourself look like a daunting chore. It is an adventure! Learning how to do your own laundry, handle your own money, and study and go to class without being told, is exciting if you let it be! A positive attitude always helps with the transitiont to college life , too. Thinking negatively about homwork and the inconvenience it is, being 6 hours away from home is not the way to think at all! Being away from your family and home is like an Indiana Jones adventure. You don't know what is hiding around the corner but it is such a rush finding out. So be positive and excited about school because it will be one of the best experieces in your life, if you let it be!
