Personal Narrative: My Transitioning At Wayne State University

Improved Essays

One transition in life that most of us face is the evolution from high school to a college or a university. With moving into a new phase of my life I was optimistic about the difficulties of becoming comfortable with the population, the diversity, and the college life in general that Wayne State provides.

    My graduate experience will be light years different then my undergraduate training. I chuckle just contemplating the technological difference alone.

By the way google informed me that my particular calculator at that time was the first of its kind.…

    After touring Georgia College, I became excited for the future ahead of me.

    At UW-Eau Claire, I am looking forward to being apart of a smaller student community and faculty. I feel that the smaller student community will assist me in pursuing my academic goals because I will be able to connect on a more personal level with many students which will lead to lifelong friendships. The smaller class sizes of an average of 27 students compared to the higher average class size of larger universities along with the one to twenty-one teacher-to-student ratio, will help me create a deeper connection and relationship with my professors which is important to me. I feel that the more personal relationships with my professors will help me exceed in my academic career at UW-Eau Claire and will also help me post-college in the workfield.…
