136 Words1 Page

The college process was diffficult for me and to be quite honest, I was very close to giving up on the college dream. Then i found bennington college, a school that sounded too good to be true, I was more than thrilled when i realised that it had everything that i ever wanted, it was a calm and beautiful liberal arts campus that offers unique and different courses. even amongst the top liberal art schools in the country, on the surface its has a tightknit campus community, incredible resources per student, small classes, and experienced teachers.But more critically, the bennington "spirit" is incredible.

    The first half of this semester was swift and I can’t believe how fast it passed by. College is a whole new world for me that I had never imagined with a lot of new experiences that I hope will shift me into a better and smarter person. There are more things I can do in college that I would have never dared to do in high school and I am happy for these new freedoms. I am able to eat in class, leave class without asking and they don’t care if I pay attention or not. My high school teachers would always tell me to wait for the bell, sometimes would not let me leave and if I did not pay attention they would yell.

  • Essay: I Want To Pursue A Degree At Wesleyan University

    712 Words  | 3 Pages

    I have previously chosen a small liberal arts school in a suburban area because I thought it was a great location to explore subjects I was curious about and figure out what I wanted to do with my future. I also assumed that it was a great place to hone in on my interests because of the lack of distractions and the amount of attention one would get from a small school due to the faculty to student ratio. A liberal arts college would also be the best place to take classes that one would normally not be able to take since many schools require one to take classes solely in their designated major. During my first two years at Wesleyan University, I found out that I wanted to major in chemistry and work in a field related to it. I also found out that a small suburban area wasn’t the right place for me.

    195 Words  | 1 Pages

    I believe the greatest challenge I will face as I transition to college will be overcoming the first year back in school and entering a field that I have no academic experience in. I did not have the best grades in high school and have not had much experience in applying myself in a class room since then. One of the reasons I joined the military was to give myself the time to figure out what I wanted to do and make a plan for myself. Now that I know the general direction of where I am heading, the biggest obstacle I will face going from military to college will be getting back into an academic mind set after being in the military for 4 years. Specifically, I believe that the most difficult aspect of this obstacle is that I have no college
