Folsom Lake College has given me a chance to become a professional student, from a B average effort to straight A's. I have learned to become a community leader, as I am the Charter President of Folsom Lake College. They are also working utilizing their skills to help me stay in college, as my father passed away a week and a half ago (this is why I am applying for scholarships).
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
At the bare minimum, do all of your work and show up every day. You absolutely must do this, because if you screw up your life due to not caring - it's on you.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
This isn't Harvard, but the professors here at Folsom Lake College provide a LEARNING ENVIRONMENT. They provide a realm in which you can go above and beyond what is required of them by the state.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Great food within walking distance.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
CLUB LIFE and INTERNSHIPS.
I am the charter president of a club, which is amazing.
I am also the head of the marketing internship program for the school, which is also a great opportunity.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Small classes and cheap, what more could you want? Oh yeah, the professors are amazing too. The Folsom District Attorney teaches a class, and my law professor went to Occidental and Oxford. Not bad for around $50 a unit?
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Folsom Lake College has a brand new $50 million dollar performing arts center, Three Stages at Folsom Lake College, that offers HUGE name performances and speakers.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Any. I was more concerned with non-collegiate sports when I first enrolled, and I only got a B average. After a while, I decided I wanted to try a little bit harder and I started getting straight A's. This is the second chance type of environment that this school offers.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
GREAT. If you want to become a community leader, discuss books, the constitution, administration of justice, or sports - this place has it all.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
I like to think that I am not a geek, because I don't come off as one, but I am. There are geeks everywhere. Intel has a major complex a couple miles away, so there are a ton of Intel Corp. proteges at this school.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
This school is in a great part of town, and there is an overabundance of Los Rios Police Officers on campus. You can always see them if you are in the parking lot, and often see them walking the campus.
