I am learning more at college than what I've learned from any of my Advanced Placement courses. The teachers cover broad topics and answer any questions the students have, especially through email or meetings. It also helps if you read about what your going over in class early, so you can get the full learning experience.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I love UMKC, there are not too many distractions to keep me from my work, but there is always something to do on campus. It you are not interested in anything, the Plaza is in walking distance from both the dorms. Its only boring here if you make it boring, but still remember to study.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The food here is way better than what they gave us in high school. So you will never go hungry. The Recreation Center is great for that basketball game with your new friends, the indoor track helps for those who do not want to run in the sun or the cold, and the pool is tempting. The dorms are nice, especially if you decorate your own room.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
1-DO NO PROCASTINATE. Trust me, you will regret it. Its still college.
2-Seek help when in doubt. There is a math /science resource center and SI.
3-Just because you can find all your class material online doesn't mean not going to class. Attend as much as you possibly can.
4-Stay involved. Everyone needs something to do besides studying. Trust me, you'd go crazy just staying in your room.
5-Keep track of your grades, that way you can know if you need to pick up the pace, or you can relax.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Great for people who are not huge party people, but do not mind get togethers and one party every now and then. Also good for people who like walking, the school is on a hill. Also, the classes are smaller than the average huge university. There are still a lot of people, but it is not cramped.
