University of Pennsylvania College Degree Review
Location
The University of
Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA
Degree
What was your college like?
How was the location? How were the facilities?
It was fantastic. Penn is in the city. You could walk to great cultural
resources, museums, restaurants, etc. The facilities were excellent, and there
have been many new buildings and upgrades since I graduated as well. It seems
like every time I go back there is a new building going up.
What were the Studies and
Faculty Like ?
My coursework was challenging. My major was extremely interesting though; it
involved the study of behavior, movement, physiology, etc. and how our brain and
nervous system control those aspects.
he fact that I was “Pre-Med”, is what made the coursework more difficult than
it needed to be. The faculty were very accessible and always willing to answer
questions.
What are
you doing now and how did your college degree help/hinder you with your current
job as a personal trainer (or related field)?
I am a personal trainer and sports conditioning coach. My degree helps in two
ways:
1) I have a good understanding of the physiology of movement, how people
process information and learn, and what motivates people.
2) I went to a school that a lot of people in my current town would like to
send their kids to. So a client is sometimes more likely to choose a “more
educated” trainer than one who is not. However, you obviously don’t need to go
to a top tier school to be “educated”.

Review will help you narrow down
your choices for college. Learn more about going to college with
intensions of being a future personal trainer.
College
Loans
Most likely you don't have your college
education paid for. Most people don't. Fortunately the government
provides federal student loans for students at most colleges.
College Loan Consolidation
If you used college loans to get your degree at the university you will have
to pay them back directly after graduation and most people seek a consolidation
loan with a low interest rate.
Phoenix Colleges
The University of Phoenix is the largest
online college to get your degree
solely online and there may be exercise science and kinesiology programs coming
soon. It is a good idea to check back frequently.
