I am planning to attend Citrus College this fall. I am registered already and hopefully I get the classes I need as my major. I chose Citrus College because I heard it was a very good school with many good professor's that take their time in explaining the materials.
Tips for prospective students
Some tips for prospective students will be first of all always be yourself, never try to be someone your not. Never giving up from trying, so that you can obtain the victory. Never let the fear put you down, but keep up with your goals.
Academic Rigor
I have an Academic Rigor such as exercising. I don't really like exercising because It's not my thing nor hobby. I prefer reading and writing, exercising is a challenge for me because I am not used to it.
Dorm Life
Dorm life sounds fun, but when you have to pay monthly rent and food I sound difficult without a job. Citrus College does not have dorms. This means that I will be at home and school, not in dorms.
Food and Dining
I love food and dining, but during college I will try to eat less than I usually eat. I am not going to waste on food much I will just wait until I get home to eat. I am sure food there at college will be expensive.
What to do for fun
There are many fun things to do there at the college ,but I think that I won't have much time for it because am a very busy person. Fun for me is going to church and praising the lord. Many people may disagree with me, but trust me there's no better fun than this.
Bang for the buck
My heart is not in Bang for the Buck I am really humble and don't expect to have much. Money is good to cover necessities, but just that my heart is not on it. When I have I give others that need.
Campus Safety
During school I like feeling safety and secure. I am a peaceful person and like others to be the same around me. I like others feeling safe around me and I am expecting to feel safe and secure around others.

Am learning a lot
As an English Liberal Arts study major I take a lot of interest in finding ways to become better at my goals. At Citrus I'm not only receiving a great education, I'm being challenged and brought to my greatest potential. I will always rate Citrus at a high number, for their dedicated work to help and teach students. I didn't always have the best education growing up; when I got to Citrus I didn't feel very smart being along side the other students. They allowed me to keep a slow pace for my understanding and did not judge me. to me that was the best Citrus could ever offer me as i continue to grow with my goals at becoming a better learner.
Am enjoying being here
I enjoy every moment at Citrus, for they have campus clubs that allow the students and faculty members to come together as one. One of the clubs I'm involved in is Foster 2 Famous; A resource club for students who were in foster care. The club has helped me to maintain in school as a former foster youth with support and lots of motivation. Also by being involved in the clubs I have been able to obtain a better image of the faculty members and gain support when needed. Growing up I never imagined I would be in college from all the moving that happened while being in foster care. To be social was not something I would consider for me as a child. With the help of the clubs I am continuously learning how to be more social and happy with my friends and teachers.
Bang for the buck
As all schools costs is a factor in obtaining your education. With the recent rise in the school funds it has made earning money or retaining money that much more hard. I was a little disheartened by the raise, but I refused to let that effect me in continuing to go to school or complain. I did not choose to go to school to earn financial aid, I went to school for my education. No I don't always get the funds I need but I'm okay. All my needs for school are met, for I feel as long as I can sit in a classroom and receive a great education then I am great. My education is free to me even if I have to pay the knowledge I receive can never really have a price, for it will stay with me forever.
Tips for prospective students
The best tip I can say for prospective students is come with an attitude for higher learning. Not only will it help you that to stay grounded and focused, but it will give your teachers the motivation to teach you at their best as well. What I have learned while going to college is teachers need motivation just like we do. They want to know that we need them to teach us the knowledge that they have. When having a readiness to learn I realize that my teachers teach more better and are happier with the outcome of their students. For the people that make the decision for higher education I feel its the best thing they can do for themselves, because it says that they want and have a desire for more.
Great for these types of students
Citrus is great for all types of students, for what they offer says it all. They offer free tutoring to help in the areas that need a little more support for more understanding. When having to ask questions there are no judging remarks. No questions are viewed as too dumb or not being smart enough. Filling out the admission paper work to go to school says to you that you want more in life, and to the faculty members to get ready for a future someone. Every class I take I often wonder who am I Sitting next to. I feel students should take every opportunity to learn who everyone is and be optimistic about life.
