University of New Hampshire-Main Campus Top Questions

My college experience has taught me that I am going to make a difference in the world someday.To me,that is all that matters.

Out of my college experience I have really learned how to manage my time and better my studying skills, learning this the hard way or not was still learning it. Also, I have learned how to approach professors and not to be afraid to ask questions. But really in college I feel everyone learns responsibility, organization and how difficult the road to becoming an adult can really be. Being at a Major university is beneficial because the degree I earn will eventually lead me to having a successful career. Also, by earning a degree this leaves a path for future generations of my family to follow in my foot steps and be more than what they imagined.

My college experience so far has exposed me to the "real world." I had attended private, religious schools before college, so attending college showed me the diversity of beliefs and lifestyles present in the world. I adapted along with my peers from all walks of life. When students have the degree of independence that college provides, it brings out aspects of our personalities that may not have shown before as we make decisions. As I navigate through college life, I have to make decisions about every aspect of my day: when to get up, how to take advantage of my time between classes, how to balance studying and socializing, and when to sleep. These decisions help me shape my lifestyle; independent at last. And that's without considering classes. College contains so many chances to expand your understanding of the world through a specific field, and I'm working on getting as many viewpoints as possible. Professors know what they're talking about, and more often than not, they love talking with students outside classes. Through talking to a professor outside class, I gained a valuable internship experience. College is rife with such opportunities--we just have to stretch ourselves.

In my school experience i have learned a lot of things not only academic things, i learned how to interact with people i learned how to appreciate people and not been discriminate to them. i learned that if I a more cultured person i will being more mature and i will know how to live in the real world because i know life is not esay, you need to work very hard in order to succed in this life and school is an excellent tool to develop you as a person in society. Attend to college have been a good effort in my life because i know if a keep continuing study at the end it will be a good future for me and for my family, to been a more prepare person, a more valuable person you need to emphasize in a certain step on your life no matther what hard become you need to prove it as a person that you can do it. In my opinion college prepare you to to survive in society. I have gotten a lot of experience academically a lot of rewards because i know my family is very proud of my.

I am a non-traditional student (i.e. older ) and as such, have a very different experience and perspective than the tradtional student. Returning to school has been extremely difficult, both financially and emotionally, but has been surprisingly rewarding in countless ways. I am astounded by the variety of people I have met, and how supportive the studeny body & faculty have been to me and my classmates facing many different kinds of adversities. College is a wonderful experience for anyone and everyone. No matter who you are, where you come from, or what kind of limitations you may have, you will find yourself immersed in a community of supportive, unique people who will accept you as you are. My college experience has not only broadened & expanded my knowledge, but has given me the confidence I need to further my career and reach my goals.

I have gotten so much more out of my first 4 months in school than I could have ever imagined. I have made friendships that will last a lifetime. I have been exposed to an education much greater than mere high school could have ever provided me with. I have grown as a person and finally realized who I am. At a school with 15,000+ undergraduates it is easy to lose yourself, but I have found traits and qualities in myself that I don't think I would ever amount to if I hadn't attended school here. My presence here is valuable for not only myself, but the people I have affected and met along the way. Being miles away from home has made me more independent. Being pushed out of my comfort zone has made me less closed off. I can't imagine having spent these last 4 months of my life doing anything else; no regrets and more surprises await me at UNH. I cannot describe my happiness and gratitude.

Not only have I done well in my course work and furthered my knowledge academically, but I have learned a lot about myself on a personal level through my college education. Coming from a very small town and trying to transition to a fairly large university has forced me to become more responsible and independent. Turning 18 is supposed to make you an adult, but it definitely took the experiences I've had in college to accept that status and in a sense "graduate" into being a mature adult with confidence. I have made many mistakes and have had many accomplishments, all equally contributing to my growth and self-improvement. I have also have created valuable bonds not only with life-long friends, but with colleagues and professors in my field of study. Because I have attended college, I am that much closer to making my dreams a reality and having success in many aspects of life. Also, I am that much closer to fully knowing myself and that is what is really important to me.

I've learned more about myself. I have learn what I like and what I don't like. And I am still learning. I am also attempting new things, and exploring more. I am also learning about things that I thouroughly enjoy. My campus is beautiful and is filled with beautiful people who can carry on a conversation and bring some spark into my life and teach me new things.

I would tell myself to build up my study skills, open a few more textbooks, and apply to more state schools rather than private schools.
