University of North Carolina at Greensboro Top Questions

My college experience has helped me grow as an individual. I have grown to love learning. This love of learning has made me more capable of hearing the wisdom of those around me. I have learned to better appreciate the gifts that each individual processes. This has assisted me in claiming my own gifts, strengths, and abilities. College has taught me how to be a stronger more confident individual as well as a more conscious and effective team player. In addition, to the personal growth, I have acquired the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in my career and in my life.

The education I am receiving at UNCG is extremely valuable to me because I know that I am receivinga high quality education and will easily be able to obtain a career in my line of study. I feel that the grades I receive effectively reflect the quality of the work that I have put into each class. UNCG has inspired me to become a more organized, hard-working person and I am proud to say that I am a student here.

By passing through a community college before attending a four-year institution I have given myself valuable time to observe the different possible scenarios and choose the right plan for me. I haven’t had to rush into any one major or university only to switch later on and find I have wasted time, money, effort, and enthusiasm. What's more, I’ve been able to do so with relative tranquility and less pressure thanks to the lower costs of attendance. By the time you transfer, you have already accumulated 50{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of your major’s credits at about 50{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the price of the in-state tuition of a four-year school. Fortunately, this does not also mean 50{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the quality of the classes, for the most part. In fact, I’ve had some great classes here which have helped me to further confirm my interest in my major. I’ve even been able to engage in research with a professor and, of course, still have access to other opportunities such as internships. Meanwhile, I have built up a great GPA and, more importantly, my confidence in college-level work, ensuring a successful experience at my next school.

My college experience was a very valuble learning lesson. I was unsure of what I wanted to do so I picked something that sounded interesting and stuck with it. I graduated with a BS in Dietetics and have really enjoyed working in the field, but have since learned that I want to take a different path and return for a second degree in Education and Spanish. I am a firm believer that education is always an investment and while I may not have picked the right degree the first time it did give me the opportunity to discover what I am really passionate about, teaching! It also opened my eyes to the need for ESL teachers. So it may have taken me a little longer to discover what I want to do, but I would not trade anything that I have learned or experienced along the way. Now I am older, wiser, and know exactly what I want to do!

My college experience taught me a great deal about responsibility and time management. It was valuable for me to attend because many of my employers have noted that a four year degree is preferred. In addition, by earning my degree, it showed the potential employer my ability to complete a task and the desire to succeed. As a result of my previous college education, I have decided to return as an adult student to gain the skills within the healthcare industry. I will now have the opportunity to pursue a career in nursing that I have always had a desire to do so.

From college I found out that it is basically the real world. Nobody is there to make sure you're doing your work because it's your own responsibility. What you do falls on your head and nobody elses so you have nobody to blame but yourself. It's valuable to attend because it makes me realize the type of person I am and helped me discover what I want to do with life.

After leaving my job and having no where to get hired back I choose to back to school. It is the most valuable thing I have ever done. Not only do my accounting classes help me in my life as I learn, but also school has shapped me into a well rounded person.

Out of this first semester of college I have gained friends, knowledge, and experience. It has been valuable in so many ways to help me in pursuing my nursing career. College is very different from high school and I feel that everyone should be able to experience going to a university.

The friends I've made here are amazing. They've helped me grow and so has the whole college experience. I've grown up so much as a person being here. I've been challenged, supported, and excited about where my life is headed.

I have gotten a lot out of my college experience. I have learned what it means to balance a social life, school and a job. My classes have all been really good and have taught me what I need to know for my career path. I would not have wanted to go anywhere but UNCG. I love where I am at and who I am surrounded by.
