On March 20th my classmates and I got the opportunity to go visit Queens community college. At the QCC campus we got to see a lot. We even got our own ID's. We saw Machines, Robots, Computers, and other Technology related things. We walked around from building to building, even the roof were they showed us the solar panels students installed. From what i saw i would have to say the Architecture class was the most interesting out of them all. It was new to see the classes from an actually a classroom.
It was important to visit the campus because it give me an idea of how a college is like other then just reading about it. I got to sit in a class and listen to the professors talk. It was cool walking through the campus feelings like I was actually a college student. I met around 6 college professors. One for every course.
I learned that college is not as hard as it sounds. also I learned that just like everyone says college is a whole lot different then High School. QCC was my first college campus I ever visited and it was great. I got to go last saturday for a math class I take. The campus was huge and we did a lot of walking. Im planning to visit 3 colleges before the summer. Im doing a Gear Up program that works with St.Johns university and I will get the chance to go on a trip to visit, Yale University, Fashion Institute of Technology & Georgetown University. I cant wait!!
From the trip I expected it to be boring and stupid but it was actually fun. Some classes were extremely boring but Hey not everything is fun. The trip was better than my expectations. I would go and visit again. I can't wait to go to college. One thing I learned is that you can finish college in less time rather than the average time. They also have an ASAP program (accelerated study in associate programs) that will help you with financial aid. i think i might even join.
