In the classes that I have gotten into, I am enjoying them immensely. The professors are very knowledgeable and willing to help if you are having difficulty. Within this short amount of time, about a month and half, I can feel myself growing in an educational sense. This growth doesn't just happen by going to class however, it's also a lot of work outside the classroom and studying and trying to understand the material. This is where dedication is a key factor in college.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
It took a while to get used to my new surroundings and new home and even now, about a month and a half in, I'm not completely comfortable. As the weeks roll by though, I am getting more acclimated to the lifestyle, the campus, and the people and I am beginning to love it. As I walk across the bridge, I notice to myself that I'm thinking about how much I love being here and being part of something bigger than I am. I also think about how beautiful the campus is and how much fun people are really having here.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
College is not cheap these days, but it is almost necessary to go to college if you want a job that will support a nice lifestyle. Although the U isn't the most expensive, nor the cheapest they give a quality education if you are able to get into the classes that you need/want. A problem with this school is if you don't sign up for classes quick enough you won't get into the ones that are needed. Which is kind of a waste because you're paying about 30,000 a year and you might not even get into the classes you need for your specific major. Even though that's the case, the U does a nice job of giving out scholarships for those who deserve them or need them.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Although it took some time to adjust to the college life, now it is so rewarding if you are willing to put yourself out there and take chances. There are always opportunities to better yourself or your possible future career. When taking those chances and making them happen, you first off get your name out there and second better yourself for the future. Even if you don't know what you want to do or are deciding between a few things, get involved in whatever you can and that will help you decide what you want and don't want and you'll meet a lot of new friends along the way. I think that's why I am enjoying the college life so much because I am getting out there and taking chances. The bigger the risk, the better the reward. Be careful though and choose your risks wisely.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
This is a great school for anyone. Well, not everyone, you have to somewhat enjoy the cold. Honestly though, there are so many different people and so many different groups it's hard not to find your niche. As long as your dedicated to the school academically and socially, you will fit in. Basically, if you don't mind the cold and are dedicated to the activities or classes you are involved in, this is a perfect school for you.
