I have gotten a lot of things out of my college experience so far: friends for life, professors I can feel comfortable talking to, a great educational experience. This school is my path to success in the future, and I'm glad to be attending Weber State. I feel that if I hadn't gone to Weber State and gone to another college instead, my experience wouldn't be nearly as positive as it is for me currently. My friends at other colleges are always unexcited when they talk about school, but I actually thoroughly enjoy going to school.
Everything about this school has been valuable to me. I have been surrounded by a supportive and helpful faculty, I am given information that I can add to my job portfolio and ultimately use in my career, and I am in a comfortable learning environment with the friends I have made while attending. Weber State has been nothing but a valuable influence on my life.

Attending Colby Community College in Colby, Kansas has so far been a great experience! Being a college in a smaller community, the people around you are very helpful and nice, and made transitioning a lot easier than I had expected. The class sizes are perfect for me, most of mine ranging from 10-25, so you get one-on-one help when you need it the most. I picked this college out of the many in my area because its a lot cheaper than most, but that doesn't mean it offers less. The only thing I can say I am disappointed in is that the year before I came here after I had picked this college to go to, they dropped many classes from my majorn, which is Journlism/Communications. Many of the classes I wanted to take are now online, which is not a big deal, but I like one-on-one attention better, with the teachers.
Overall though, if you are in the area of Western Kansas, I would put Colby Community as one in my list....oh wait, i guess I did :)

that college has very many different types of students and that nobody forces you to go to class you can choose when to go but your grades will suffer from that and that you learn so much by going to class and listening to all the things your teacher has to tell you

I LOVE the program I am in! I have always known that I wanted to be a hygienist but I had no idea how other hygienists sacrifice their time and skills towards all different humanitairan programs. While in school, I have been able to serve my community by sharing the education that I have learned thus far to teach them proper oral hygiene. Its important to educate everyone on the importance of oral hygiene because it effects their overall health. My college experiance has taught me to serve others by using the education that I have learned!

I have received an excellent education during the past two years. The reason I think it has been valuable to attend is because I 've been able to obtain a quality education without going far from home, and was able to complete over half of it while still in high school. From my collge experience I have gained different views of the world, what it is all about now and what I can bring to the table when I graduate and start my career, whatever that may be. Through Intervarsity, a Christian extra-curricular, I have learned morals that I will keep for the rest of my life and how to keep my faith strong in a world that is constantly discounting it. I have made friends that I will have for life and memories to last me a lifetime. I have met people whom I can look up to and model as mentors, and I have learned things that will aid me in years to come. I don't know what's in store for me in the future, but I look forward to continuing my education at Weber State University and going along for the ride.

I've found out more about myself and what I want to do while I atten school here at Weber State University. I've developed a craving for knowledge that I haven't had in a long time. The things I learn like Circuit Diagrams; having to calculate the correct Volts, Amps, and Ohms, have proved to be a excercise for my brain that I enjoy and want to do more. Its expreince like that that make me want to learn more, to make the most out of my brain. I know I can do it. Attending Weber State has been the best decission I have ever made. I'd like to continue my exprience and make the most of what I can learn and achieve. Thanks for the oppurtunity, Shelby Sullivan

I have gotten a better understanding of life out of my college expereince. It was valuable for me to attend because it opened various paths in my life that I would have otherwised not ventured out to seek. Also, I am reminded what you do today may not be what you do tomorrow. If I had not gone to Weber State I would not have gone to college. I learned to depend on yourself more than others. If you are with a group take charge and lead responsibly. Hard work always pays off and if the schedule is managed properly success is promised. Due to Weber State I have learned to grow as a productive citizen and hopefully will continue to do so.

Walking across campus between classes has increased my stamina. Eating cafeteria food has increased my palate tolerance. I've lerned to sleep with my eyes open. My Frisbee playing has gotten much better. Seriously though, college has been a great experience thus far. I have learned a lot in my classes and have met some great people in the dorm. Going from a small high school to a large university has broadened my horizons and exposed me to many new people and ideas. In addition, I have learned many skills that will aid me in my future endeavors. This first year of college has taught me a lot and I hope that the next several years are just as fruitful, maybe I'll even learn to juggle more than just my class schedule.

I am enrolled in the 'CCNA' cisco networking accadamy, it is very intensive and I have learned a great deal about networking. Along with a great many classes I have taken towards my AAS in Computer Sciences, has opened a whole new world of knowledge to me. I enjoy learning and this field is new to me. I have worked construction and nearly wore my body out in a few short years, I am excited to find something that will challenge me in new ways and is really unlimited in how far you can go. It all dependes on how much you want to know and how hard you work. I strive to learn all I can from each class because I wish to be eminatly employable upon graduation, and key to this goal is to truly grasp and understand all i can from each class. The professors are really great at UM helena and work with students to make sure they grasp concepts and ideas fully. So far what I have learned is surly invaluable to me, in that the knowledge gained here will be put to good use when I join the work Force.
Thank you Luke Thisselle
