University of South Carolina-Beaufort Top Questions

You'll usually do better than you think you will. Stay focused. You don't have to make friends right away. Go easy on yourself.

If I could go back to 17 year old Ciara as a senior at Eaglecrest HIgh school, I would tell myself that you will make it to college but you have to create better study habits than what you currently have, and once you get to college you can not just slide by anymore you must do the work and be dilligent. I would explain that college will be the best years of your life and you that you have to use all the resources your college provides you so that you are not on the verge of failing and so that you are not having to deal with academic probation. I would let my younger self no it gets better and that it is not the end of the world. Last but certainly not least I would explain to myself that you are worthy and capable of all the things you say you want to do and do not second guess yourself because that will get you in trouble academically. I know as a senior in high school I had no clue how intense college courses could get and how overwhelming it would be for me.

Have not begun the semester yet.

I would say to study more and take harder classes. I took school seriously, but I could have studied more. Also don't get over loaded with work and school, school should come first. Also try to still have fun and enjoy your high school and college years!

There are a number of areas that I would discuss with myself as a high school senior. They include the following: determination, commitment, and responsibility. Determination will be an asset to my college life and will help me strive for excellence to achieve all my educational goals. Moreover, I know that I need to stay focused on all my goals and not lose sight of the vision I have for my future. I know that there are going to be hard times but the number one thing I have to remember is not to conform to what I have and to always strive for more and more. In addition, commitment is another area that is very important to success in the college life. One has to be committed 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} in everything and anything they do. Even though commitment may not be easy one has to remember that in the end those long hours of studying and doing homework eventually pay off. Likewise, responsibility is also a vital area that will assist me in my college life. Responsibility means getting to school on time, completing all assignments on time, and even going out of your way to seek additional help.

If I could go back in time to advise myself about college, from what I know so far, I would have to say that it is real life. You meet people from all over the country, and find out that they have intrests similar to your own. I would tell myself to not be afraid to meet new people and experience new cultures and acitivities because variety is the spice of life! College is nothing like high school. Yes the work load may be similar according to what classes one is used to taking, but the people here are the ones who want to contribute to the world of tomorrow. One has to have determination, focus, drive and motivation to succeed...not just in college, but in adulthood as well. College prepares you for the world outside of your home; financially, emotionally, mentally, spiritually and physically. I'd say prepare for the start of finding out who you are, realize that there are so many opportunities that one doesn't even know is in existence, and understand that despite the age of thinking one knows everything, one knows nothing.

I have gotten knowledge. It is valuable because no one will ever take that away from me.

I have learned to apreciate life more and the people in it. You can get caught in the hipe of college and kind of forget who helped you to get to the point that you are now. It taught me how hard I can work and fight for what I want and I thank God that i was given this opportunity. School helped me to realize what i really want to do with my life and what i want to do with my college education. Now there is nothing left to it but to do it!

I have not yet attended college because it is not fall yet. However I did schedule an orientation and it was amazing. The campus is beautiful and a great environment to study and feel safe in. I have met most of the professors and they are amazing as well. I know that I will get one on one help on my work there. What also makes is great is the current students. They are very friendly and I can be myself around most. I cannot wait to go to college now. All the butterflies flew out of my stomach and I'm not nervous to leave my town anymore.

I have gotten many things in addition to the full college experience by attending the University of South Carolina- Beaufort (Bluffton). I love the small atmosphere and how the faculty and staff are so eager and willing to help whenever needed. The dorms are also another perk of attending the University of South Carolina- Beaufort (Bluffton). We have apartment style dorms that come equipped with everything we need from washing machines and dryers to dishwashers. This makes me feel like I am right at home which I think has had a postive effect on my grades. The school has even gone so far as having the housing staff adopt two puppies for us in the attempt of creating "a home away from home" feeling. I believe attending the University of South Carolina- Beaufort (Bluffton) has made me a well rounded person and has started to prepare me for my future as an attorney.
