College is a wonderful experience! It allows us young adults to have a little bit of responsibility. We chose when we want our classes. We also get to chose who we want as a teacher. We get more freedom than highschool and we each get an individual learning experience. The advisors are wonderful at helping you when you need their assistance. I am always eager for the new semester to start because going to college is the best choice I have ever made in my life. Through college I have learned that life will be full of decisions and we have to pick what fits for us. College has given me a small look into what the rest of life is going to be like. I believe that how you view your college experience will reflect on how you view the rest of your life. And I believe that since I enjoy college so much and I have learned many things that the rest of my life will be just as amazing!

Different people have different college expriences. I am attending a community college, Rose State College in Midwest City, Oklahoma. They use the phrase, "Stay close. Go far." This statement is very true. I thoroughly enjoy being able to attend classes at this college. I am a young, single mother and I have to work in order to make ends meet. By attending this college, I am able to do just that. I work a full-time job and am able to attend school full-time as well. This school offers many different ways to get your degree. I have participated in online courses as well as on campus learning; both have worked tremendously. The advisors work with you and your schedule to get exactly what is best for you. Attending college has been an extremely valuable opportunity. By attending, I am ensuring a better future for my son and I. Also, I am showing my son that no matter what challenges in life are thrown your way, attending college is always an option and is never out of the question.

I've gained more skills for the career I really want and I've grown in my relationship with God.

My college experience thus far has genuinely opened my eyes to the power and benefits of knowledge. During my years in high school I valued education, however, it appeared that other things flaunted by my peers were more valuable because the individuals participating in these activities gained the most respect. Like my peers, I gradually began to believe that power could be gained by engaging in things such as sports, entertainment, popularity, etc. Although I was a good student, education did not seem nearly as advantageous and beneficial as many of the things promoted in high school. However, once I attended college and gained knowledge from a first-rate university like ORU my perspective quickly changed. My mind is constantly being stimulated from classroom discussions to research projects to even various conversations with friends. I now realize that a strong mind is more valuable than any other asset and that is should not be wasted.

I have gotten a lot of valuable information from my college. I have developed a better work ethic. It is not as easy as high school was and so I had to learn how to manage my time better and know my priorities. I have also developed a love for learning. Now that I have finally found out what I would like to do in life learning is so much easier. I enjoy going to my classes and labs to learn what I can to help me out in my future career. Overall college has been a great opportunity for me and I hope that I will be able to finish out my educational experience by receiving scholarships to help pay for it.

Over the last couple of years I have grown and learned a lot as a college student and I am still learning. Although it has been stressful at times, I find that those stressful moments are what make college a wonderful experience because you learn from those moments. Out of my experience in college, I have learned to be more responsible and on top of everything. I feel that college is the one place where I have gotten to meet so many different individuals and become apart of so many things such as volunteer work, different activities and I have also joined some organizations as well. Those types of things have helped me get further as far as my social skills and networking as well. College is most definitely valuable to attend because it involves a lot of responsibility and that helps you become more responsible. It is also very valuable because it is an opportunity to learn and get an education which is something that was not an option for us at one point in time. It is an opportunity that should be taken advantage of because it is valuable and that it should not be taken for granted.

Attending ORU has really tested my faith when it comes to affording to come here. It's helped me learn that I need to prioritize and always keep God first in everything that I do. However, attending this school has also provided me with many opportunities that I could never imagine including making tons of friends on and off campus, and meeting so many professors that really do care about you and your studies/wellbeing. I never thought that a school could mean so much to me before I began attending ORU. ORU is such a valuable school because God is at the forefront of everything that they do. On campus there are daily times for prayer, special areas that you can go to just to spend time with God in prayer, and going to this school really helps you connect with God emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually. Overall, this school is completely amazing- beautiful, in its physical characterists as well as it's ability to teach people from all different areas of life.
