Towson University Top Questions

I have been able to attend school on a regular basis, taking a full load of classes each and every semester, and I look forward to graduating in the next year and a half as a nurse with a bachelors' degree. I have discovered that I love helping and taking care of people in need, particularly the elderly. I have also found that I am very good with the elderly when in comes to talking with them and getting them the best care that they deserve. Nursing is a profession that requires care and patience, and not many people possess those type of skills. I believe that I do and I will make an outstanding nurse in the near future!

So far, my college experience has been a learning one, both academically speaking, as well as socially speaking. I'm a lot more self-supportive now, and I hardly rely on my parents, except for getting to and from home. I've done a lot of things on my own, and I've applied for a few jobs to make my own money, instead of getting help from my parents as much. I've also learned that college is really not that difficult if you just do what you're supposed to do; honestly, I feel sometimes like it's easier than high school, because there's so much time to get your work done. It's just really nice, I've loved the fall semester so far. I can't wait until next semester.

Towson University has been of much importance in my life. Before college I was very sheltered and shy, and although I still am at times, Towson has helped me to come out of my shell and be more open to the opportunities that Towson has to offer. I went rock climbing all freshman year, and before college, I would not even think of going rock climbing. I also would have never met the people and friends that I now know, and I am so grateful to have them in my life. If I had to go back and do the application processes again and redecide where I wanted to go, it would be a whole lot more simple. Towson would definately be my first choice.

College has thought me about responsibility by taking things in my own hands and moving on in my life. I

The most valuable thing I have gotten out of my college experience was an opportunity to study a field that is not widely known. I was a Family Studies major, and most people give me strange looks when I tell them that. Family Studies encompasses social service fields and is similar in a lot of ways to social work. However, the major itself is multidisciplinary and gave me the opportunity to take classes in education, sociology, psychology, family studies, and health, to name a few. I transferred to Towson after my freshman year of college, and I feel like I was supposed to find the Family Studies program here at Towson because while I am interested in a lot of things, I was not sure I wanted to pursue a degree solely in one field, such as psychology or sociology. From my college experience, I have also learned acceptance. As a private school student, I was a bit sheltered from certain things. Going to Towson helped open my eyes, in a positive way, to other ways of life. I feel the diversity of Towson's campus has helped prepare me for a job in human services.

I have gotten so much out of my experience for the first year at Towson. I have no only met so many new people, who I have all become friends with, but I have also been able to join a bunch of activities that allows me to be a part of my school. It has been so valuable to attend school because it has started to prepare me for my future. I allows me to earn an education, which still preparing myself for adult hood. I have to wake myself up in the morning and be able to take care of myself. Taking on responsibility is a major thing in college because no one else cares what you do. You have to do it all alone.

So far I have had a great college experience. When I choose the college I was going to attend, I choose Maryland which is thousands of miles away from home. I did this because I wanted to push my independence and strive to succeed on my own. And that is exactly what college has done for me. I have become such a stronger and well rounded person because college pushes you to your maximum potential. I have learned a lot in school, but as well as outside of school. Living on your own is a whole different experience, but one that pushes you to grow up and make decisions on your own. I no longer had mommy and daddy there to make decisions for me and to help me with my work, or to get things done for me. I was all on my own and had to figure everything out for myself. College teaches you real life responsibilty that you will stick with you even after your college experience is over.

Attending college has helped me to realize my strengths as a student. I am a leader and a go getter, which has been invaluable at college. It has also gotten me excited about teaching others what I have learned.

I am in my first year of college and the knowledge that I have been given is invaluble. I am learning to become a computers and electrical engineer. There is alot of demand for someone in that field in todays world. Everywhere u turn around there are computers so for someone to have an education in the computers field is very valuble. I would like to better understand the way that electronics and computers work so I may be able to create an alternative power source through electricity. The possiblities are endless and with the current knowledge i am gain through school I can accomplish that goal. It is a great task to take on in this day and age because of all the alternative fuel supplies that so many people are trying to achieve. College is and will continue to be an everyday eye opener for me and I want all I can get out of it.

So far, I have learned a great deal of interesting information pertaining to my major. Learning these things just makes me want to learn even more, and strive harder to get to my ultimate goal, which is to become a doctor someday. Some of my classes are just so fun to attend, so I am always excited for class the next day!
