Palm Beach Atlantic University Top Questions

I would tell myself to go to local community school for my first two years to save money, and then to transfer to a university so that I don't have to take out loans. To eat out less, save more, and only buy things that are nessecities. Get all the hours you can at work, and spend more time with your family.

I would tell myself to just try harder my first two years and then I would not be a graduating late and without my friends. I have learned alot about myself these last four years and I have no regrets just wishes that I want to fulfill.

I wouldn't go to the most expensive school because it's take a long time to pay off student loan. Find the major that you really want to do. Sometime its hard to find job after graduate from college with most competitive job. Make sure you check rate my professors website before take the class. I remember I took the worst english professor I ever had and I had to drop the class. The most important is to review student's comment about their expereince with the professors before you take him or her. Visit around the campus before you attend because to make sure to feel comfortable.

I would tell myself to not procrastinate. There is always something fun going on but assignment deadlines creep up on you and doing things ahead of time will save you a lot of stress. Also just relax! This may seem contrary to the first bit of advice but adequate sleep and chill time is part of a balanced and healthy lifestyle that will also help you to reduce stress. Some more advice is budget budget budget! College students are known for being broke and there are many reasons for that. When friends constantly want to see movies on the weekends or go on late night taco bell runs it really eats into your finances. Budgeting will allow you to make sure you have enough money to do laundry, buy groceries, and not freak out when unexpected expenses are thrown your way.

College life at Keiser University mostly is revolved around academics. Here the sutdents take one class per month and even finish with a degree faster than a normal student at a local university. I would reccommend looking, huntung and scouring, or saving for grants or scholarships to be able to afford the campus. There is not much time for a social life. Most students work full time and concentrate on their academics in their spare time. I would recommend before one goes to college, to know what they would like to do and have an idea of what profession they would like to pursue as an older adult. Attending here will require one to come out of their turtle, anti social shells and focus on being a bit more social and friendly on campus. College requires studens to cooperate and complete projects in groups where the entire group participates in all aspects of the project and if one does not particip[ate then it reflects in their grade. It is necessary to focus on ones studies, it is essential here. The professors will bend over backwards to try to help spmeone understand what they are teaching in class.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would have given myself some advice on family, friends, and focus. Since being away at college, I have had only an iota of time to spend with my family. My visits tend to be limited to the four major breaks in the school year--Thanksgiving, Christmas, spring break, and summertime-- wheras in high school, I had a practically unlimited amount of opportunities to spend with my family. If I could time travel back to that time, I would have encouraged myself to invest more in those lasting relationships I have in my family and less with those short-lived high school friendships. Although some of my friends from home are some of my best friends, most of my friendships died off, even some of my closest ones. Furthermore, in retrospect, my focus was not in the right place when I left high school. I was too enveloped by the idea that I had to find "the one" as soon as possible instead of being completely devoted to my studies, and as a result, I allowed my heart to be broken too many times.

I have learned an expertise in my field of study while gaining meaningful relationships and a strengthening of my faith. I have enjoyed my time at this school and continue to work for my benefit. I have seen spiritual and academic growth in tremendous ways in just the 3 years that I have been here.

Ever since I was 8 years old, I wanted to live and attend school in North Carolina. College was the first opportunity I had to make that dream a reality, and I took advantage of it. I am so glad I did. The relationships I have built while in college will last a lifetime. This experience has also taught me how to manage my finances and time. I have become better at prioritizing which has helped me in every aspect of my life.

I have experienced being on my own, which really make me apprciate my parents even more. I have noticed that depending on God is the best decision that a college student would ever make. When situations become stressful and you may feel like you cannot bear it anymore, that is the time when you need to hand it over to God and let Him take absolute control. Trust in God and depend on Him for everything! This is what the college experience has taught me and this is why it is so significant to me.

After spending three years as a Business major, I confidently made the decision to transition into the study of Pharmacy. The transition into the Pharmacy program has been one of the most difficult challenges I have faced in my life thus far. Coming from a background of business, it was quite a shock turning my focus to the study habits of a pre-health major. Enduring such a demanding course load forced me to modify and enhance my old study habits in order to succeed. Along the way I have been up against some of the greatest challenges that have lead to both success and failure. The application process into the upcoming Pharmacy Graduate program has been yet another demanding encounter. Through out my college experience I have encountered much stress and pressure to compete against others with the same common interest. It has been a bumpy road thus far, but I am deeply committed to pursuing the dream of becoming a Pharmacist. My devotion has allowed a positive attitude to stay in the game, while I strive for the best of what is to come next in the Pharmacy program.
