Manchester University Top Questions

As a high school senior, I was completely unsure of what my future held career-wise. I came into college with as an "Undecided" major. As I look back, I wish that I had explored my interests more. I have always been interested in health-related topics and medicine. If I would have realized in high school that I wanted to pursue a health career, I would have made my freshman year of college much less stressful because I took a plethera of classes trying to figure out my major. I would tell my high school senior self to job shadow medical professionals and take more health-related classes.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would tell myself that college is not as easy as high school. Be prepared to work much harder than you did in high school. There will be a lot less drama than high school, but that doesn't mean the stress of fitting in will go away. College is a chance to explore who you really are, so don't let anyone take that experience away from you. Get to know people, get to know you. Live life to the fullest and do not be shy. People who are your true friends will love and accept you for who you really are. College will be an experience of a life time, so enjoy it, but not to much. Stay focused on your dreams and one day you will get there.

I would relax and not be so worried about the transition. Manchester made it a breeze to enter into college life. Everyone is so accepting and fun, just be yourself!

College has really taught me more about myself than anything. I have discovered a passion for both social and political activism.

As I type this I am taking part in a two day hunger strike which ends tonight (11/30/2010) at midnight. About a dozen students on my campus as while as many more at different colleges in Indiana are taking part in this to put pressure on the Senate to pass the Dream Act. I am a minority myself and although I am not Hispanic I really believe that everyone should be given the chance to succeed. Besides my new found passion I have made friends from all over the world because my school has a lot of international students. I love being able to learn about different cultures. College has really helped me discover my full potential and has helped me decide what kind of person I want to be currently and in the future.

Manchester College offers not just a degree, but a life changing experience. It helps build friendships that will last a lifetime and a discoverance of your true self. With the small campus, close-knit faculty and student family, and small community, Manchester College is a choice that will exceed any expectations. For however many years one attends the prestigous university, they will make memories that will last forever. I have not only gained a better education from Manchester, but have realized what I want in life and how to make that happen efficiently and effectively.

College is about the education gained and the experiences along the way. While most college students are not in sports I feel like being in sports open a plethora of opportunities to the student-athlete. Sports are a way of meeting and forming close family bonds with teammates from the school. Sports also allow athletes to meet people from other schools, expanding ones friend networking capabilities. Sports also allow for opportunities such as starting a winning dynasty or competing in a championship event which most students will never be abel to experience. I have formed close friendships with people from Manchester and as well as from other schools throughout competition. Sports also teach you determination and hard-work which are valuable assets to have when starting a career.

I began school majoring in Accounting Technology. During my time in school I have learned more about myself and what I want. I have decided that when I graduate in May I would like to continue into a Human Resources career. I have become more independent and learned to manage my time better. I have really enjoyed my time a student. I enjoy attending my classes and receiving good grades on assignments. It really proves to me that I can do whatever I set my mind to. I am going to continue next fall with my Associates Degree in Human Resources and I am thrilled.

As a first year student in college I have gained already so much knowledge. What I gained is not just book knowledge but knowledge about life and succeeding.

Already I feel like the money set forth towards my tutition is already used and used in a great way.
