Mississippi State University Top Questions

I attend South Mountain Community College in Phoenix, Arizona. College for me has been an amazing experince because it has always been a place where I know I will find poeple I can rely on for not only knowledge but for guidance and support. I have been attending this college since I was a High School Junior thanks to the ACE program. Not only was I able to get ahead of the game but because of these programs I was able to have someone give me the answeres and allow me to experience college before I got out of High School. It was a little push, that I believe most High School students need and this college is an amazing place to get it.

College has taught me a lot, since I am out of state I grew up a lot faster then most of my friends, you have to learn how to budget, and take care of yourself. You are no longer sheltered by your home town friends, or especially your family. Of course you will always have your family to lean upon. It also taught me to try new things and go outside of my comfort zone, you will never get anywhere in life if you stay where your at.

I have learned several things from the classroom and and from my collegues also and they have been a joy to learn from. I'm a better person because of the challenges that I have experienced. It has been an honor to attend this school because there are alot of people that would give anything to go to the school but because of financial circumstances they havent' been able to attend and therefore, I take my education serious and I am using all of my resources that are available to better myself for the present and the future.

The most valuable thing I have gotten out of college is the lessons I have learned from making mistakes. Although academic wise I have done ok, from past mistakes i have learned i need to do my best . There were many user errors, and I have gone to schools that nuture laziness and pamper procrastination,and I fell right into the life of a slacker. After all the fun and partying, I have nothing. Now a young adult. I was lost. No jobs skills or a degree was a harsh reality. I fell on my face. I realize how essential these things are for us to succeed. Now, I'm on the path of greatness. I have a new school, new attitude, a new lease on life, and I can give all the thanks to my prior college experiences. With all the new things i have aquired, I can now put the knowledge I have to use, and become an educator myself.

The most important thing I've learned during my college experience thus far has been that I am different. Not in a bad way, but I know I'm stand apart from everyone at this school. I am my own unique individual that has strengths and weaknesses different from everyone else. And that is why I love Mississippi State. This university has helped me grow as a person in so many ways. It showed me that I needed to study more than I thought I needed to. It introduced me to friends I would have never met otherwise, seeing as I am from out of state. It helped me appreciate other people's views and standpoints. Mississippi State is the school who takes the abilities of all its students, alumni, and faculty and creates a community of friendship and love. That's why I love Mississippi State. No matter where I am, I can always find a State fan, and they are always the nicest people you'll meet.

I have attended East Mississippi for almost 2 years now after one more semester, I have gotten so many experiences of being at this college. Community College is must easier in a way but it's a different choice to go then to a University. It shows that college is the way to go. This school has prepared me to go to a University and contine my education further. It is very valuable to attend East Mississippi Community College because it's one of the top schools for Mortuary Science. They offer more different major choices like welding and nursing and more. I live in Louisiana and there isn't that many schools that offer Mortuary Science as one of their choices to major in. I'm so glad the school has made it easy for me to attend by having a block schedule, so I can work while I go to school. I would suggest EMCC to anyone to attend.

What I have gotten out of the college experience is the importance of being independent and self-motivated to get the job done. And to carry what I have learn with me in a future career. It is valuable to attend college to better yourself in life to be the best you can be know matter how hard the challenge may be. What I have learn most importantly in school and in life that is better to try and fail than to not try and fail. You should never give up on your dreams know matter how long it takes.

Through my college experience I have made new friends and matured as a person. I have truely learned responsibility and what it takes to succeed. I now know what it takes to be a professional and I will not stop until I reach my goal. It has been a pleasure meeting new people from different places and different countries. I feel like my collge experience has rounded me more as a person. I have been exposed to many positive things that will catapult me in the future.

College has been a learning and growing experience. There have been many experiences that would not have been possible had I not been here. I have been able to explore career options and opportunities, making decisions with confidence. College has shown me that if I am willing to apply myself to the work set before me, that my future will be bright. The things my parents have told me are correct, and I now appreciate their guidance in a way I had not been able to understand before. I am not sure I would have realized this without having the experience of college. My college experience thus far has been valuable culturally, educationally, spiritually, and so many other ways that I have yet to realize. I look forward to the next two years to grow even more and become a productive member of society and our great nation.

We are protected from the world our whole lives by our parents. During high school, we are sheltered from the responsibilities of being an adult. This shelter broke down for me in college as I was exposed to all kinds of knowledge. I had to learn how to be on my own. Yes, we have friends and professors, but I am not talking about being alone, I am talking about being on our own. Students have to bear the burdens that come with college: studying, getting up and going to class, eating well (sometimes making our own food), and getting up to go excercise. We have to start managing our own time, whereas before, our parents helped us by what we lovingly refer to as "nagging". Being on my my own and learning how to deal with it has to be my greatest college experience. College is a valuble experience because each person experiences college differently. My experience was life-changing, and I am not even finished, so I would definately say I am proud to be a college student.
