In life, with the inevitability of time and aging, comes the process of maturing and moving forward on a path into the future. The most immediate and foreseeable destination along this route to maturation is college. Despite the obviousness in continuing education at a college, the “right” or most compatible college is often hidden among the numerous choices that are offered. Out of the multitude of available colleges and universities, the University of South Carolina and Clemson University provides a range of choices and options for large public universities with renowned football teams. Clemson is a large public college in rural South Carolina, with a robust military heritage, a reputation of having more rigorous entry requirements,
Ogeechee Technical College and Southeastern Technical college are similar and many ways. They both have a diversity of students, have no housing options, have no student activities, have no athletics, and they are both public colleges. These are somethings that I am looking for but there are somethings that I would have loved for them to have. If they both would have had athletics it would have been nice but unfortunately they don't also they don't have student activities if they had this I would have picked them but
As a senior in high school the time has come when people begin to ask big and sometimes overwhelming questions like, “Where are you going to college?” and “What will be your major?” These questions, of course, lead to college visits and decisions. The two colleges that seem to meet my criteria are The University of Findlay and Ohio Dominican University. Both colleges have positive aspects, such as having the major that I am interested in as well as being close to family. However, The University of Findlay seems to be a better fit than Ohio Dominican because it is closer to home and I am familiar with the campus and I grew up on this campus.
The decision making process on what college to attend can be stressful. For some, the deciding factor can be where they get the better offer for sports, such as Butler Community College, or where is closer to home, like Wichita State University. When the time comes to have this tough, and extremely long, process come into play, look at the pros and cons of the college choices and how each one can benefit life after college. What institution can you get out of as much as you put in? Which college has the degree completion plan you are wanting to pursue? These questions weighs in all incoming college students minds who strive for that goal of success that is a college degree. Despite bearing some minor similarities, the differences
College is a critical time in a young adult’s life. Whether classes make a student realize his or her major isn’t right for him or her or college helps him or her get closer to his or her career, college plays a massive role in helping people. When making a decision on which college to attend, all aspects of each college should be taken into consideration. Some of the most important features of a school are the location, class size, and tuition. Lewis and Clark Community College and Southern Illinois University Edwardsville are colleges local to people in the Madison County. Lewis and Clark is a less expensive community college with a small student body who only offer Associate degrees to their students. On the other hand, SIUE (Southern Illinois
I created an account on College Board in sixth grade. Since then, my list of colleges I want to attend continuously fluctuated from to 20 schools to 5. Right now, it is at seven schools: Boston University, University of Southern California, Northwestern University, Kenyon College, Syracuse University, Vanderbilt University and -- as an in-state something-horrible-happens-and-I-don’t-have-enough-money-to-get-out-of-state back up plan -- University of Arizona. However, when making a decision about schools, I must consider what each of these schools can offer me, both financially and in regards to major choice. In general, my interests lie in theatre and psychology. As of now, the plan is to double major in either of Bachelor of Fine Arts or
High school and college students across the country face the decision of whether or not to stay in state for their college education. The financial requirements of college can put a strain on many families. Young adults can also become lonely, scared, and lost without their families when attending college in an unfamiliar place. While college is already life changing enough the hassle of adjusting to new surroundings can be hard as well. Many Americans think that getting into a prestigious college and spending a ton for an education that someone can get for a much cheaper price at their local university is wise. The choice to go to an out-of-state college can affect the rest of someone’s life and send
UCSC has what is called a “residential college system” made up of ten separate buildings. Each college is not only aimed at specific areas of study, but each also has its own residential housing units. Once a student chooses one of these smaller colleges, which is a decision based highly on their major, they then complete all of their courses there until they earn their bachelor 's degrees. Each separate small college also has its own clubs and holds its own activities and special events. However, separate colleges often collaborate with each other to host joint activities and even
There are three schools students may have an interest in, these colleges are: Cal Poly Pomona, San Diego State University, and the University of Hawaii at Manoa. The information a student could research are graduation rate, admission rate, jobs out of school, curriculum, greek life, and the student to faculty rate. With the curriculum set at each university, many courses are offered to potential students. After one earns a degree, based on a specific curriculum, schools try to help one student get a job once that pupil have graduated. In the upcoming paragraphs one student could participate on campus: the fun in engaging in greek life, or how in class, the student to faculty ratio may affect a student 's learning. By gathering information
College is expensive. Education has not always been this high but it has come with a price. Yet every year, students around the nation apply for the college of their dreams hoping that they get accepted. While others apply to the college that will best fit their financial needs.
The focus of this paper is to dispel a common view that community colleges do not provide on-campus housing and to provide greater insights into the types of community colleges that provide on-campus housing, the typical student who resides in on-campus housing, a guide to various California community colleges that provide on-campus housing, and the impact that on-campus housing has on student learning outcomes, financial gains for community colleges that provide on-campus housing, and an overview of the lack of data in the area of not only on-campus housing in community colleges, but community colleges at large. According to Cohen and Brawer (2008) access to student housing is one of the fundamental dissimilarities between public
Choosing a college is a challenging decision but a pathway to your future, in which makes it important to choose wisely. To choose a college of your liking you must rank your priorities, compare your financial aid packages, focus on your endgame, and also revisit your short list. These steps will most likely guide you to find the perfect college/ university for you. I've decided to choose “Texas A&M University school of law” in which is located in Fortworth, Tx. This university has had a 19.68% percentage of applicants who've been admitted and also has diversities of white(64.4%) and hispanics(21.8%). To live within the University a room can cost up to $20,000 , tuition can cost up to $28,000 , loans $208, and supplies $2,400 adding up to an amount of $50,700 in total. Texas A&M has a 8.4:1 student-teacher ratio meaning it wouldn’t be as populated as other colleges would be making it a great environment to focus. In Texas A&M , within criminal law , there are “Cynthia Alkon, and Amber Baylor” instructors in which I'd love to meet. Quality within this school is great, it's a good campus, good quality of tech, rooms, etc.
Every year at the same time, thousands of students face the same difficult decision: What college should I attend? Consider two young men both of the highest intellectual capacity and deserving of admission into the nation's most prestigious institution. Steven, high school All American, student body President, and leader of the debate team, hopes to be admitted to the university of his dreams. Christopher, most valuable player in the high school division and aspiring NBA athlete, wants to attend college with students of the same caliber. Steven's parents are both successful neurosurgeons at the local hospital planning to see to it that their son is awarded recognition for his efforts. Christopher's mother, unemployed and unable to care
A big school or small, public or private, urban or rural; these are just a few of the many difficult deciding factors I faced during my college selection. At the height of my selection process, I had applied to ten schools ranging across all those factors. I was completely unsure of what I wanted to do with my life yet and had no idea what type of school I wanted. My mind wasn’t set enough on the future and I was too worried about getting through high school and working my full-time job. As it got closer to spring, I had to start making some decisions. Ultimately, I narrowed my deciding process to three factors to specifically analyze to make the right decision. Beginning with reputation, followed by student life, and lastly the financial cost to attend.
Knowing the similarities and differences between these types of colleges are not all that needs to be considered. Students need to think about their lifestyle and which type of college will fit their daily lives. One of the main things to think about is what kind of schedule they have. If they work full or part time they will have to figure out how to work in a school schedule. Depending on if they are single, married, or have children, also affects when, how, and where they can attend school. What activities and other obligations they have planned week to week also make fitting school time in difficult. These are all things that have to be thought about while planning how and where to attend college. Another factor that has to be taken into account is how the person learns. What is their learning style? There are many ways a person can learn, such as by reading and taking notes or seeing the action taking place. Some students need to have someone speak about what they are learning, such as a
