New York University Top Questions

My college experience has been valuable for a number of reasons so far. I attend a community college, so the diverse backgrounds and different types of people has been quite a pleasure to see and experience. I've gained a new sense of freedom going to college much different than high school. I attended a Catholic high school, quite strict, with uniforms and etc. In college I get to pick which classes I take, what I want to wear, eat, do and all that. No one is holding my hand or telling me what to do, it puts 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the responsibility on me. I especially like that type of learning environment because that more closely mirrors the real world. Although, I graduated only 5 months ago from high school, since I've started college my maturity level and attitude towards school has gone up. My reading and study habits have improved in just over a month of school. In my opinion college is most valuable because success in college will directly correlate with future success in your career choice which can and most likely will determine your ultimate success in life.

College has been one of the best experiences in my whole entire life. I have been in college for 5 years now doing part time, becuase i am a mother. But I have learned alot. I've grown in many aspects of my life. The way i see life, is different and the way i lead my life. I have met many people from all walks of life.

Has college ever afforded you a life changing experience? I would say that my experiences in college have literally changed not only my life but my view of life in general. I never expected it, and it happened in such a powerful way. I started out nursing school with big dreams of helping people and providing a better future for my son. In the first semester of clinical, I had patients who were dying of cancer, who had heart failure, who were in a diabetic crisis, or otherwise debilitated. It was a reality that was eye opening for me. I had to evaluate my commitment to this profession and I had to face my own spirituality and mortality. It takes an emotional toll at first, but there was a point at which I made a decision that I was making a difference for these patients… and that was significant and I now realize that I am serving a greater purpose. Nursing is not only about medicine, but about care and dedication to the spiritual needs of the patients and their families.

My college experience thus far has been eye-opening and valuable to everything I intend to do in the future. First of all, living in New York City has enabled me to meet people that are very different from myself and who have different values and traditions. I grew up in a suburban town in Massachusetts that was not very diverse, so this has been a great experience for me. Also, I intend to pursue a career in the field of education, which would not be possible without a college degree. I love NYU's department of Teaching and Learning, which is a close-knit community within the larger university. I am sure that my experience at NYU will shape my whole future and will open doors for me to pursue graduate study followed by a hopefully fulfilling and successful career.

My college experience has been more that valuable to me. It makes me feel more successful with my life. I am being educated while also improving my future. Attending college gets you closer to reaching those goals you have in a career. Not only does it help me with education but it helps me network with other people. I want to be the one in my family that gets all the way through college unlike my mother or father but I need scholarships to help me do that.

A lot of people tell you college is the place to party and live it up, and there is a lot of pressure to do that sort of thing from those who don't really know what college is and ought to be about. College is about learning. I am not talking about learning dates, formulas and numbers like we did in high school, rather real opportunities to learn about the world and life beyond your field of study. I have met so many interesting professors, who, besides the material they master, offer incredible insight just being themselves to life as a thinking, interesting adult. The library is full of books on every topic imaginable, and we can check out up to 200 books at a time! I have all the knowledge of the world literally at my finger tips. That and the volume of clubs and sport teams at college provide limitless opportunities to develop new skills and passions. For me, college has been about taking the opportunity to safely and easily explore my world and find the things I love to do, something I will never be able to do at any other time in my life.

When I arrived at NYU, I was freightened, excited, nervous, and all the other textbook emotions that every college freshman carries with them. As each day passed by those emotions transformed into happy, excited, stressed, relaxed, and all the other emotions that result from being release from parental and high school restraints. I was finally running my own life, deciding every second of every day what to do and how to do it. I wallowed in misery, exploded with joy, collapsed from exhaustion, screamed from my workload, and partied with the best of them. But through each emotion downtrodden and uplifted, I was independent. Making choices good and bad, fullfilling responsibility and failing to succeed, it was all my own. There is not anything in the world I would give up my new life for. Everything that happens is enjoyed by me and suffered by me. And that, friends, is a feeling that I will never let go of.
