Loving College

Chico State, Class of 2018, Student Success StoriesBy EdFund StaffFebruary 10, 2015

I absolutely loved my first semester of college. I meet many new people and got involved in new activities. I actually never got home sick, which is a great thing. I enjoy living alone and cooking for myself. I eat so much healthier now! Another thing I enjoyed was able to manage my time. I…

Bull’s Eye

Class of 2018, Student Success Stories, UC BerkeleyBy EdFund StaffJanuary 29, 2015

When you begin college, you never really know what to expect. You’ve seen the movie cliches about the dorm life, about the crazed sororities and fraternities, about the never ending clubs, and about the everlasting friendships. You’ve heard about the treacherous finals and the sneaky midterms, about the long hours at the library and the…

First Semester Reflection

Class of 2018, San Diego State University, Student Success StoriesBy EdFund StaffJanuary 29, 2015

I’ve actually learned a lot in my first semester at San Diego State University. I learned to become more independent. I am used to asking the adults in my family for guidance or if I was making the right decision, but I realized it was my time to make my own mistakes and my own…

Reflecting back on the first term of my freshman year, leaves me with 3 really important recurrences. The first, parties. Being that my school is made up about 1,400 people, the parties aren’t that big or advertised. But I did go to a lot of parties my first term, and I found myself in a…

How college is going so far

Class of 2018, Student Success Stories, UC MercedBy EdFund StaffJanuary 9, 2015

College is a very different experience than high school and anything else I have experienced. Being able to attend college is truly a blessing and every time I step foot on campus I am overwhelmed with enlightenment. My first semester of college was a very challenging one. It was challenging in many aspects such as…

First Quarter

Class of 2018, Student Success Stories, UC IrvineBy EdFund StaffJanuary 9, 2015

Reflecting back on my first quarter, I can say that it was a little bit of everything. From living about eight hours away from home to being independent and trying to separate my personal and academic life. The first week of school was good for me. I liked my schedule, which I only had classes…

What I Expect This Quarter From Me

Class of 2018, Student Success Stories, UC DavisBy EdFund StaffJanuary 9, 2015

Last quarter did not go exactly as I expected. The reason given is because I knew that I was going into a higher level of education. Though throughout the quarter I realize how poorly my teachers from high school taught me. I had to put in twice as much effort as my fellow peers in…
