Spend More Than Money in College

Spend More Than Money in College
Every time I find an article like this, I rejoice. Recent college graduate Kalee Iacoangeli tells us why college takes much more than just a financial commitment, and how the most important lessons often take place outside of the classroom. As someone who's been there, I can tell you that she is absolutely right. Trust me.

I have found that in order to get the most out of a college education, you have to put more into it than just money. College is an investment; the more quality time and effort you put into it, the more you will get out of it.

I'm not just talking about spending every waking hour in the library studying. There is much more to the entire university experience than just going to class and maintaining a high GPA... The difference between an ordinary education and an extraordinary one is the extra effort put in by the student. As much as the faculty and staff are responsible for the success of graduates, students should have just as much, if not more, accountabilitylinks in ensuring that they get the most out of their college experience.

Along with getting more for your money, colleges and students who invest in one another create connections that will last a lifetime. Universities should be more than just an educational institution for students. After four years of working hard, making lifelong friends and absorbing all that a college education offers, school should feel like home.

It does to me.


Thank you, Kalee. Wise words indeed.
