Nothing ventured, nothing gained. But when laminating your licensee becomes an art, and the thought of a Friday morning class makes you laugh out loud, well then, there really is a problem. When the desire to party overwhelms the desire for action, experience, and growth, the four years you spend in college become a huge waste. Each semester since, I've tried to get more involved and less apathetic. The most important thing I've learned at UMass Dartmouth is that the students will always be this university's most valuable asset.
Education is so much more than going to class and studying hard.
The student's have the power, the potential, and the opportunity to create enormous change and improvement. What I value the most in my college education is the experiences outside of the classrooms, that taught me the importance of doing something I believe in, and caring about what's going on outside of my own little world. No sane person can ever say this campus is boring. If you think this place is boring than you really aren't looking at what's happening. Ticklish issues of drug and alcohol abuse, rape, human rights, race relations and censorship are camouflaged at this campus just waiting to be examined, understood, and resolved.
