Viewing a scene from the outside is not the same as being part of it, there is plenty myths that people can say about college but there is nothing like living the moment, then we realize what it really is. Being in college brings responsibility, it gives the opportunity to really test ourselves and see what are we capable or doing. Leaving by myself in a new city make me appreciate all the little things that I had in my house that sometimes we just let pass. I miss my family and I enjoy every single moment when I go back to my home town with my family and friends.
I learn also the importance of responsibility in many aspects, in college I have a lot of freedom to do with my time whatever I want, there is not more rules that I have to follow, but that is when my maturity is prove, I have to choices either stay in track with school or just do whatever things I want, but thank God until this day I have choose right and dedicated my time to school. College really shows who you are.

So far college has been a great learning experience for me. I met new people and explored new places. College opens your mind to new possibilites and if you let it change you, you can become a better person. It makes you feel like you belong somewhere in the world and you have meaning in your life.

My college experience so far has been amazing. I have met wonderful people and am very lucky to still be surrounded by family. The school itself is rigerous, yet I get satisfaction out of doing well. The professors are extremely helpful and kind. They are more than willing to give extra time to make sure that we understand the material.

I have got to know that how to live independent, away from your family and how to rely on yourself. It is valuable because by this I got to know my strengths and weaknesses without my family, and I got to know how much can I do on my own.

I have gotten more knowledge than what appears on my transcript. The value of time allocation is a skill that I had to learn very quickly when transferring to this university. It lightens the overall stress load and helps me finish tasks effectively and efficiently. Also, monetary management was also key in this. The fact that I am paying for most of my education out of pocket forces me to manage my money in a way so that I would be able to pay for tuition.
In the case of acutal education, I have been learning how much work my major is and how it could apply to real-life programming situations. It is interesting to find how most of the modern programming feats (i.e. games, internet applets, devices, etc.) are based off the material I am learning now.

During my current time in college as a new freshman, I have experienced so much freedom and along with that freedom a lot of responsibility. I have gotten a wonderful experience in life that I will never forget and I hope that it continues. It has been extremely valuable to attend because by attending college, I have learned how to further be independent and figure out who I am as a person.

The biggest thing i have achieved through college is a sense of responsablity, in order to succede in school one must have priorites and be responsible enough to study, listen, take notes, and turn homework and various other assignments on time. Through college i feel i have achieved this.

The best college experience that I think is valuable is living on campus. It was easier to make friends and to start up study groups. It also made me become more involved on campus. I also felt that I got ahead of the game and knew where everything was faster. I also knew everything that was going on campus and was able to attend. Living on campus gave me several oppertunities that I wouldn't trade for the world. There was more time to study since I lived on campus. I felt being there with less distractions made me a better student.
