Marquette University Marquette is ranked No. 63 by high school and private independent school guidance counselors in 2012. It’s located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Marquette is known for its outstanding academics, and varying majors. Additionally, Marquette is a Catholic Jesuit college, which means there are a lot of spiritual bases in finding God in everything that is done. This means in education we can find some inspiration to do better and be better, no matter what is one’s faith or traditions; the common ground for almost everything is education and its importance. With a degree from Marquette comes a lot of bragging rights, and is highly looked upon. When applying for a job Marquette stands out on a resume over most universities and colleges. Marquette is one the best universities offered in Wisconsin besides UW Madison. I believe I would like to further my first class education with Marquette because of great programs offered and the greater spiritual background received with a degree. Marquette is a top notch school and attracts a lot of perspective students, but turns them away with $40,000+ tuition a year, including room and board. To help with tuition Marquette offer a lot of scholarships to the most deserving students, and also have a great program for work grant for working for paying for college as in the cafeteria. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (known as the FAFSA) is a form that can be prepared annually by current and prospective college students (undergraduate and graduate) in the United States to determine their eligibility for student financial aid (including the Pell Grant, Federal student loans and Federal Work-Study). Also, student loans are very reasonable and sometimes money is taken off by volunteering and community participation. Marquette and Madison are two of the best universities Wisconsin has to offer. While this is very high, this should not turn away

    As a child I grew up in Hartland, Wisconsin and went to a high school that revolved around football. Every time I drove down I-94 with my parents and saw a couple of the Marquette buildings I remember saying, “I’m never going to go there.” I had my mind set on UW- Madison or any large school away from my hometown with a…

    Man, I must say that I have been EXTREMELY busy covering these politics because it’s full of false accusations and scandals and I am trying my hardest to be honest and fair. Now my friend what I mean by false accusations and scandals is the media; both printed and social media; have a way of influence the audience into believe what they feel they want them to believe versus how I believe in what we need to be believe and deserve that (to certain circumstances). I’ll go through all that stuff and enlighten you a bit more about what I have learned this past week about it so you aren’t confused. I’m also going to talk about how hard it was to determine whether or not my stories were socially responsible, assessing the credibility of the sites I visited (which was only one really I trusted) and my awareness of how I might influence the public and or other reporters. Well my friend, now that you know what to expect, let’s just dive right into my responsibility of being fair and balance coverage.…

    Marquette Catholic High School was a request of Bishop Griffin. This school was the first coeducational secondary school in the Springfield Diocese.

    Grove City College (GCC)

    In 1984 a case before the Supreme Court limited the scope of Title IX (King, n.d.). Grove City College (GCC), in Grove City, Pennsylvania, took pride in being a private, coeducational liberal arts school that refused state and federal financial assistance (Ware, 2007). This gave them independence from federal regulation (Ware, 2007). GCC did have a large number of students that received Basic Educational Opportunity Grants (BEOG’s) issued through a Department of Education (DOE)-run program (Grove City, n.d). The DOE concluded these grants made GCC subject to Title IX (Grove City, n.d). When GCC refused to comply with the requirements of Title IX, the DOE attempted to terminate the student financial aid program (Grove City, n.d). GCC challenged the DOE’s actions all the way to the Supreme…

    I considered this collage due to their high enrollment numbers of 500 per year and the room and board are absolutely beautiful and not too expensive at the price of 39,000 per year and that’s very important to me. This collage offers 10 different degrees in each course you take! That is amazing, you can take two different courses and still graduate on time, you can still major in each of those fields as well. The part that really jumped out at me was the extra curriculums such as, power sport engine testing, test driving, electrical engineering, and lunch of your choice at your choice of…

    Also, students’ expenses are at an affordable cost. They are not completely blown out of the water like some other colleges. On www.colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com, it says that in-state tuition is $9,228, while out-of-state tuition is $22,861. In and out-of-state are different too. In-state is $235, while out-of-state is $625. Room and board is $8,928, and books and supplies usually add up to about $1,200. While keeping this in mind, you have to know what it takes to get into the school and how it is while you’re in school.…

    My love for Marquette University started with the campus. Being nestled in the heart of Milwaukee, Marquette feels like a close-knit community, but has an open, urban vibe. During my first campus trip I toured all of the main buildings, and was particularly impressed by the new engineering building. The tour guides encouraged questions from prospective students. They didn’t give us canned responses, or answer from a script; instead they gave thoughtful and concise answers that showed what Marquette is all about. Marquette’s prestigious engineering department, academic excellence, and famed namesake all led me to want to attend more than any other school.…

    A Rutgers education would help me achieve my dream. As a Sociology major all I want to do is help people in need, and I think that Rutgers University is the perfect place to accomplish my goals. Rutgers is the college that I always dreamed of going to. Growing up in New Jersey all I would hear is positive things from the people around me, and I made a resolution to myself that I would do whatever it took to get accepted. Bergen Community College provided me with tools needed for entering a four year college. I know what it takes to get good grades, and right now I am prepared to take the next step in my education. Having a degree from Rutgers to me would mean hard work and dedication. It would provide me structure to enter the real world. I will apply all the lessons that I will learn from going to Rutgers University and put it into my everyday life.…
