The Importance Of College Connections In College

My reasoning for choosing College Connection is because I am in need a fresh start away from all the drama and acts of juvenile delinquency that a majority of high school students partake in; I find the whole partying and being wild act very pointless and dangerous at our age, which is why every weekend while a vast majority of people who are my friends are partying I am working or at home. This has caused me this past year to lose my spark with school and not try as hard as I very well know I should be which is why I need a change of scenery and a new curriculum that challenges me to where I have no room to slack. Aside from the loss of my spark this year I am still a very hard worker which along with my maturity I believe make a great duo

As a college student, interdependence has become a great part of my daily life. Interdependence is when two or more people depend on one another. Not being afraid to be interdependent has become a very useful tool in my college education. I am able to ask my professors or advisors if I have questions about assignments or classes. Tutors are on campus to guide me and give me the extra help that I need to better understand my assignments. Instead of being scared and allowing myself to struggle and solve problems on my own, I depend on them to aid in my success. There are also situations where other students or myself can work as a team to complete a task that involves more than one person. This relieves stress and allows me to break out of my

In this article “ Students must do their part to Achieve “ Arkansas Gazette (November 1,1990), Japhet N Makia Explains how Important it is to attend Collage and look for higher education. He also believes that all students should take part in school or college activities. However, he also mentions that the important of being sociable by participates in activity clubs because it adds a flavor of fun and sometimes it help the students to be better leaders.

Meeting new people with a common goals and interests will help me establish lifelong friendships that will be there for me when I am in need. Also, meeting people knowing that we are in it together will bring up our drive and motivation to work hard and succeed in life. I want to be a part of a campus with a great community and high involvement in activities.

When I first come here, it is tough for me to make friends because all of the students here come from different backgrounds. I managed to overcome that problem by engaging with the clubs’ activities and participating in volunteering programs. I improved my self-confidence by make a lot of friends from day to day. This gives me a good impression that being in a wonderful college like Bunker Hill Community College really helps students to build themselves by brushing up their potentials. By connecting with people every day and knowing others, we can brush up our communication skills as well as widen our knowledge. Based from these experiences, I promised to myself to help the new students adapting themselves in the new world attracting them to get involved with clubs, activities and volunteering

The students not involved with athletics made most of their friends freshmen year by living in freshman dorms. Jen Pascarelli, a middler physical therapy major, and not an athlete, said “I made most of my friends freshman year, I lived in White Hall, and everyone just left their doors open.” She also made many of her friends because of her major. “My major is so small, all of my classes have the same people in them, so we all get to know each other,” said Pascarelli. Most non-athletes spend the majority of their time in their dorm rooms freshman year, because they haven’t gotten to know the area very well yet, and are not able to go to many clubs and bars. The problem with this mode of making friends for athletes is the fact that very little time is spent ‘hanging out’ within

I want to continue that feeling of being more socially engaged in college. In one of those clubs, the National Honor Society I was surrounded by individuals that care about the environment and helping others in the community like the homeless. I want to continue this at FIU, at orientation I found out about a really interesting program that has similar goals, which I am thinking of joining. This relates to the mantras I think relate to my transition to college, for one I am going out of my comfort zone by joining my first college club and I’ll be surrounding myself with people that would help me grow. In doing so, I feel like I would become a better person in a social sense because I`ll be able to interact with people without being shy.

For most of my first year in college I felt lost and alone; I was not really involved with clubs or organizations until my second year at Miami Dade Honors College and I don’t want to have that same experience while attending FIU. I know that being part of the Honors College at FIU will benefit me because of the tight knit community, but it is always good to have friends and communicate with people from all backgrounds. After breaking through my shell, I have learned that I enjoy other people’s company.

For all students leaving high school, college is a diversifying experience that improves students’ outlook of the world. Many students leave high school having known a small group of friends very closely and only spending time around this group of kids. In addition to

Networking in college is so much easier than in the outside world due to a plethora of organizations available to the students. Take Greek life for example. According to an article by USA Today College, 85% of the Fortune 500 executives were a part of Greek life and all but three US presidents from 1825 have been a part of a Greek life organization. These college organizations are important for two integral reasons. One, it allows students to be a part of an organization greater than any one individual. When a company is hiring, they want to see that an individual can be a part of a group, work together with others, and accomplish goals such as fundraisers and volunteering, which are two major components of most college organizations. Second, organizations allow students to network and meet others. The president of a fraternity could tell you about a job opportunity that would interest you or a club supervisor could give you a letter of recommendation. To conclude, college organizations make college resumes look better, allow college students to make new

While attending college there is an obvious reality that the diversity you'll face won't go remiss. Whether you attend an HBCU or a PWI diversity is a prominent factor around the campus. No one background is the same, which makes it more of a process to get to know your new classmates. That’s why the first-year experience courses such as SLS, The Bridge program, and Summer terms were implemented to help incoming students learn all the key components that they’ll need to get through college. Additionally having involvement within the University will help create a connection with you and your new peers. I advise everybody to join some type of organization while at school. The networking that will come out of joining something will help you

At college, students are often surrounded by others who are similar to them – mostly between ages of 18 and 22, pursuing a college education and beyond. The homogeneity within the campus bubble can make students forget what the real world is like.

College for an incoming freshman is exciting, however, it is often focused on the social aspect such as the connections that can be attained through Greek life, parties and independence. Due

As a commuter student at NHTI, I would tend to see almost exclusively the other students in the business program. This made the school seem even smaller than it is. I cannot wait to immerse myself in a new, larger community. Being part of a larger college environment will not only provide ways to make friends, but also provide ways to establish personal connections that can be utilized in my future career. Social clubs are a great way to meet people who have similar interests and from a career standpoint build these personal connections, which may prove to be significant in my future endeavors. At my next school, I hope to meet people who are like-minded and as motivated as

In high school there are many cliques that form. The rich students bond together in the preppy clique. There are also cliques for those that are involved in sports. Cliques form in a wide variety and every student is in some way or another involved in at least one. College also has cliques that are very similar. As soon as you “warm up” to the college life, you will find yourself involved in one and there’s nothing wrong with that. It will help you meet new people and ease the transition from high school to college. These cliques help the school year pass quicker and make it more memorable when you are doing things with friends as compared to being alone the whole year.
