Point Loma’s community living agreement sets forth the guidelines by which students must abide. It sets tough expectations for those attending and applying because as college students, it is very easy to get caught off guard and because of the freedom that comes with a college experience, it can sometimes be difficult to always do what is right. When entering into agreement with Point Loma, students promise to be integral people; it poses a challenge because as a young people we are still learning good Christian virtues. One of the greatest aspects of the community living agreement is the strong encouragement it gives the students to maintain their faith. By following the rules, it guides us to make better choices in school and everyday life…

Being an active member of a community is critical to creating a good learning atmosphere. The word community is sometimes overused and does not get the emphasis it desires. People want to feel apart of something and creating a functioning system is necessary for success. I have always had a love for working with a team and as a leader, I try to help others achieve their goals. If I attended Villanova, I would make the noun community become a verb by helping others, accepting others, and leading others.…
My parents wanted me to go to Young Harris where there is nothing to do, like Pickens, to assure I wouldn’t get into any trouble. I didn't want that for myself, I knew I wanted a semi-city environment to help transition into a more busy area such as Atlanta, where I plan to move post graduation. After long nights of arguing about my future, my parents finally gave in and let me enroll at KSU. After enrolling at KSU I declared my major as Biology. As far as long term goals go I aspire to be a dermatopathologist and plan to later enroll into medical school. I was offered to chance to join a learning community so I took advantage of the opportunity as the email I received portrayed it to be a very beneficial experience. But at the same time I am a “first generation” student and I have absolutely no idea what i'm doing or if joining the community was ,or is, a great decision. I’m not exactly sure what I'm supposed to gain but I'm hoping for more individualized learning and the opportunity to be comfortable enough to ask for help in my classes.…
