I have been accepted to both Payton High School and Phillips Academy at Exeter. These are both great High Schools and I can learn a lot at both of them. Exeter is a boarding school in New Hampshire which is one of the top high schools in the nation and is well known for teaching all of it’s classes the the Harkness method in which every student discusses the topic around one table. Payton is a selective enrollment school in Chicago and is in the top ten public high schools in the United States. Both of these schools are good choices for High School but I need to chose one over the other.
Exeter has many benefits and few drawbacks. The subjects in Exeter are all taught through the discussion based Harkness Method, which is a way of teaching that has worked well for me in the past, but with each class focusing on specific points of the method. In math class the teachers give the students one problem at a time and work through the problem, finding different

Payton is close to my neighborhood and only fifteen minutes away. Being in a familiar area also helps Payton’s case because the area is navigable and has places that you know, that you can eat at or work on your homework at. Payton is a public school so it is free, this has both an upside and a downside however. The upside of Payton being free is that money that would otherwise go towards high school can be spent saving for college or paying for things that are needed at the house. The downside of Payton’s free education however is that some of the equipment might be old and worn down and that if funding is cut some classes and activities may no longer be available. At Payton only one class each year is an elective while all other classes are mandatory. I also know people who currently go to Payton and this helps because they can guide me through settling down in Payton. Overall I am leaning more towards payton than I am towards
From what I have been through, my current high school experience has not been meeting my expectations. After speaking with friends and parents, I believe that Archbishop Mitty High School can provide the experience that I am seeking. One aspect I am looking for is a larger campus, school community and a safer environment. I feel that the size and location of Archbishop Mitty will help enhance my learning experience. Something else I am looking for in my new high school experience is more school spirit and camaraderie. I have attended many sports events at Archbishop Mitty and I have thoroughly enjoyed the enthusiasm and spirit of the environment. One last reason is that I am looking for a school that can provide a larger class selection with
When I arrived here at college I was extremely disappointed with the selection of food here in the cafeteria. I frequently found myself eating only hamburgers and pizza over and over again, simply because I did not like the other choices. About four months into the school year I had do go to the doctor for a virus and when the nurse weighed me I was a little surprised by what I saw. I had gained a little over ten pounds, close enough to what some refer to as the “Freshman 15.” It is a common fear among college students that they are going to gain fifteen pounds during the course of adjusting to college life. However experts have stated that the idea of the so called “Freshman 15,” is not that accurate. Every college student is obviously

McDaniel College had first been created when its first building went up in 1866-1867. The school was the first institution that was south of the Mason-Dixon line and was coeducational. The first name that the school had was Western Maryland. That name originated because the institutions first board chairman (John Smith Wakefield) was president of the railroad, which had been called Western Maryland Railroad. The railroad had run through the college town. McDaniel had been one of forty colleges in the nation to be recognition in the New York Times education writer Loren Pope’s book, “Colleges That Change Lives” ("World Ranking Guide”). The schools colors are green and gold and the mascot is a Green Terror. There are about 1,629 students

I choose Pacific Lutheran University because of the focus you put on helping individuals grow in all aspects of their lives as stated in the school motto. It gives the promise that it will help the student achieve success as an individual and as a professional working for the better of the community. A plus is that PLU has a great history that would be a privilege to be part of.
Oakland fell into the Alternative Education Law program. Students worked at their own pace and speed to complete school. Oakland High School generally graduated between 15-20 students a year. Several smaller programs existed within the school, such as Region 5, or ALC (Alternative Learning Center) program or Lincoln Tree Farm. Region 5 were for student who were in transition from just being released from either Echo Glenn or Green hill youth jail facilities. They worked with a JRA representatives and would complete school work and prepare to reenter the comprehensive high school setting. They would have no contact with the remainder of the building and programs. This program ended during the 2007-2008 school year.
I believe that Polk County Early College High School would be a great school for me because of smaller class sizes and more one on one opportunity with teachers. I feel that I thrive in that kind of setting because you can feel free to ask for help if needed, and it will be provided much more easily than in a larger class room. I also love the opportunity that the school provides to be able to earn college credits while attending high school. I am a very self motivated person and being able to complete work at my own pace would be significant. If I am working at my own pace I will be given the chance to work ahead and cover more material which is great. I think Polk County Early College would be the perfect school for me because I would be
In the McWhorter School of Building Science in the College of Architecture, students have had a 100% employment rate in the two previous semesters (Nobles). This statistic alone shows one perk Auburn University has over many other colleges. Auburn University is the best college because it has the best job opportunities, the best major, and the best traditions.

At Ursula Franklin, it offers me the enrichments in math and french plus the early start to computers and business technology. The enriched math will allow me to take my math skills to the next level and push myself to be better. This school also has the school uniforms, that way people will be more respectful and fewer people will get bullied because of what they wear. The uniforms policy will also allow me and others to focus more in class rather than boost but the new fashion trend.
