Challenging first week

Class of 2018, Student Success Stories, UCLABy EdFund StaffNovember 24, 2014

School has been a lot harder than I expected. I knew it was going to be hard but I didn’t think it would be this much. Currently I’m taking math 1, english comp 3, and sex: through biology and gendered society. The hardest thing is the workload all the classes give me, all the readings…

Second Week of College

Class of 2018, Student Success Stories, UC BerkeleyBy EdFund StaffNovember 24, 2014

Hi all, I wanted to share some of the things I noticed since I’ve been in college; but most importantly, the change I noticed in the second week of college while I was sitting in the lobby of Dwinelle Hall. Usually on the hour, every hour its hallway rush hour. Literally hundreds of people: students,…

Contra Costa Lifestyle

Class of 2018, Contra Costa College, Student Success StoriesBy EdFund StaffNovember 24, 2014

Starting off college was very ruff due to family emergencies. College is a little bit of a challenge for me still. Having to find different buildings and the classrooms stressed me out the most. I’ve heard a quote a couple of times it’s “Don’t let your situation dictate your character.” That’s my motivation. I’m going…

My First Week in College

Class of 2018, Student Success Stories, UC DavisBy EdFund StaffNovember 24, 2014

Within my first week of college I have accomplish so many things! I am adapting pretty fast which is such a big surprise. I have met several interesting people already… Not to mention my roommates they are really interesting and I enjoy talking to them all day. On move in day all of my suite…

Community College

Class of 2018, Contra Costa College, Student Success StoriesBy EdFund StaffNovember 24, 2014

The months leading up to making what I thought was one of the biggest decisions of my life was anything but calm. I had to work on college apps while trying to manage my time for the AP classes I was taking. I would say it was very hard and also very stressful. I never…

Growth

Class of 2018, Student Success Stories, UC Santa BarbaraBy EdFund StaffNovember 24, 2014

So far, my experience with college has been a continuous cycle of pain and growth. I was apart of a summer program here at UCSB, which allowed to to take classes over the summer and get a jumpstart on learning the ins and outs of the campus. At first, I hated the thought of shortening…

The very first month

Class of 2018, Holy Names University, Student Success StoriesBy EdFund StaffNovember 24, 2014

This first month has been a roller coaster for me as a student. For the first time in my whole educational career, I am going to a school where I’m not familiar with anybody here. In some respect, I was very excited to go an experience a brand new adventure. On the other hand, I…

College Life

Berkeley City College, Class of 2018, Student Success StoriesBy EdFund StaffNovember 24, 2014

College life for me was something really unexpected, i am the first in my family to actually attend college so there were a few things i was behind on already. The first thing that is immediately different is that no one forces you to do your homework or go to class, coming from high school…

My transition into the university

Class of 2018, Student Success Stories, UC BerkeleyBy EdFund StaffNovember 24, 2014

I moved to the dorm at UC Berkeley on August 23rd. My dorm is located about a hill, and it’s really beautiful here. My dorm is in a castle (a hall that is officially a castle which was built in 1928). It looks like Hogwarts from Harry Potter. Sometimes turkeys and deer come here from…

Getting Settled in College

Brown University, Class of 2018, Student Success StoriesBy EdFund StaffNovember 24, 2014

College. Yes, summer is over and now I have to accept the fact that once again there will be homework. Then again, I had a summer reading assignment, which turned into summer homework because I procrastinated. The purpose of the assignment is to provide “common intellectual experiences that introduces them to the University and to…
