Louisiana State University and Agricultural & Mechanical College Top Questions

In attending Louisiana State University, I have learned the importance of having my inner motivation to set goals and achieve them. At a school as large as LSU, the numerous opportunities can easily overwhelm and confuse students. Therefore, students without a drive to actively take advantage of such opportunities should not attend LSU. Undergraduates that depend on a smaller community of professors and students for support should not immerse themselves in an environment in which individuals must be independent and self motivating.

I feel that the only types of students who should not attend my university are those who think that college is one big party and those who are unmotivated. I feel that if anyone puts forth effort then they will see a return in the form of high-quality grades. However, if a student parties all night and never goes to class then how can anybody expect them to succeed in gaining knowledge? I feel that unmotivated students and party animals are just wasting the time and energy of my professor and the university.
