I think it sounds like a good program,because although I am out of college,when I was there it sometimes would feel like the people working in certain student service facilities had no idea what they were doing,which would leave me frustrated. Also my friends who are still in college seem to still be dealing with the same frustrations I had,so you participating in a program that would elminate that is wonderful.
When I first started college,I was just going because I felt it was what I should do after high school.I was the studious one,so why wouldn't I attend college.Sometimes it feels like college I was completely running on auto pilot,just going through the motions,but there are other times I had a class,or a teacher who really made college something I looked forward to.My knowledge of various subjects did grow,definitely more than it would have if I had not went on to college.
I feel as if I am rambling here,so I should wrap this comment up.
So what is your goal once you finish the degree program with Western Illinois?
What was it like for you when you first started your undergraduate work?
