Bentley University: A Conceptual Analysis
My college experience started two semesters ago, at Bentley University. After almost three months I came to Babson as a student, I am able to recognize similarities and differences between these business schools. They both present the same “concept” of a small business school set apart from the big city, but small differences is what it counts and makes them what they are.
Even though there are a lot of similarities, those small differences are what made my decision to transfer from my previous university. On one hand, they both are small business schools around 30 minutes away from Boston. Even though Bentley University has an undergraduate population of around 4,200 students and Babson 2,141, I consider them to be as the same in size since

As a foreign student, I was able to recognize that Americans at my previous university were more close to each other and just wanted to interact with their countrymen. Favorably, that gap is reduced at Babson. The relationship between those students seem to be more close and stronger. It really contribute to the wellbeing of the students and community itself. It is a win-win situation, where Americans can be benefitted from other cultures as well as the Internationals from the people of the country we are. Fortunately, I can say that I do not regret the decision I took and that I am actually enjoying it.
While both universities are well-known for a diverse student body, it is really important how they address diversity within the community. With diversity, such problem as stereotypes, discrimination and microagressions may arise. How these aspects are treated around campus talks a lot about the university itself. Teachers and students come from different backgrounds, some are white, females, middle class, sexual orientations, which could make students and professors working with different cultures and ethnic groups not

    The two colleges I am considering attending are West Virginia University (WVU) and Fairmont State University (FSU). These colleges are at the top of my list because members of my family have attended both these schools and I have family that lives in that area of West Virginia. I like both Fairmont State and West Virginia. They both have the things that I am looking for in a college, but of the two, I am leaning to West Virginia University. I am leaning to picking WVU because they have the special type of engineering I want to pursue and Fairmont State does not. The special type of engineering I am interested in pursuing is…

    In answering this question with a soft “no,” Tugend now looks to Professor Colby in her work “Rethinking Undergraduate Business Eduation.” Professor Colby, Tugend tells us, worked with colleagues and discovered that the best undergraduate business programs combine liberal arts and professional training. Unfortunately, Tugend does not provide the definition of “best” in this context. The reader is left to assume that this definition is contained within Colby’s work.…

    Although I do not know exactly which sect of business I wish to study, I do know that Georgetown’s dedication to ethical and academic growth will serve me well wherever my interests take me. Moreover, a curriculum rooted in Liberal Arts courses will allow me to further pursue my multi-faceted interests ranging from subjects like Creative Writing to History. Through my research of Georgetown I learned that business is the combination of many different disciplines that go hand in hand towards creating one value, and one cannot succeed in the realm of business without sufficient knowledge of the parts that make up the…

    The Spiritan founders and sponsors of Duquesne University have always believed in welcoming all and excluding none; which is why the students, faculty and staff of this university come from a collection of different ethnicities, races, cultures and backgrounds. Diversity is something that is important to me and Duquesne University. Being an Carribean-American woman, from the suburbs of Middletown, Delaware will make me a minority in the city of Pittsburg. Being that the foundation of Duquesne University’s rich and vital community of learners is diversity in itself, I can be a key contributor to this community.…

    HBCUs are often not given the credit they deserve in molding young students of color into prideful and talented students ready for a workforce catered to their white peers. These students may have been accepted by HBCUs when no other school accepted them because of their race or scores, giving them the chance for opportunities found only in a college setting they were close to not receiving. The benefits of an HBCU education outweighs many of the so-called “disadvantages” many sites such as the “lack of diversity”, at least to me. I believe that through an HBCU education I will gain valuable social skills, a strong network of people in a variety of fields, and a better understanding of African American history in an environment made for students like me. From the yearly homecomings to the festive concerts to the illustrious Greek Life; HBCUs are known for their vibrant student cultures and social events.…

    Hearing that Wayne State is a welcoming diverse community is something that makes me ready to be a part of the student body. Being a person of color and growing up in a community that was so welcoming made life easy to embrace. For years as a young child, I was always worried about not being able to fit in or to find friends: simply because I was told by adults that the other kids would not like me for not being “American” enough. Now as a young adult I am able to say that those adults were wrong, I grew up with friends of all different ethnicities. At Wayne State I would make sure that my fellow classmates feel the same amount of comfort I felt growing up. I am so fortunate that growing up in such a diverse environment has made me a well-rounded…

    Growing up Iranian American, I was greatly impacted by the opinions of my peers early on. Classmates would criticize my lunch or convey evident shock at the fact that I was Muslim, so I grew up feeling patronized for much of my early life. Eventually, I began surrounding myself with others who were also in my shoes, facing the discrimination that came along with being different. Over the years growing up surrounded in a fusion of cultures has made me appreciate the diversity that makes each culture so unique. Growing up traveling the world, learning multiple languages and being encouraged to accept all that cultures have to offer is something that is very beneficial in today’s global society and something that I will bring to SMU’s diverse campus. Should I be fortunate enough to attend SMU I will bring my open mind and worldly perspective to the learning environment and clubs on campus. Within the classroom I’d apply my background in my desire to study conflict within the Middle East and ways to resolve that.…

    It’s easy for me to adjust to different new environments because I have moved six times. I would bring a multi-cultural background to the Academy, with a unique perspective that I know many Kentuckians don’t have. One huge advantage to going to the academy is the idea that it’s stepping stone towards college. Most students immediately graduating high school struggle in their first year of college, and I believe this program will help me overcome that because I’ll be going to college where there are people there to support…

    Boston University is my third selection of the Posse schools. The College of Fine Arts at Boston University offers three areas of study which include school of Music, School of Theatre, and The School of Visual Arts. The school I would be interested in attending is Boston College of Music because they offer many programs of study. Some of the more popular programs include performance, music theory, music education, and conducting. The area of study that interests me the most is the performance program because it is closely related with my studies as a student with the Cobb County Center for the Excellence in the Performing Arts at Pebblebrook High School. In the performance program I would like to study the Performance of Voice. The School…

    Getting adjusted to living and going to school in Boston has been one of the biggest yet greatest changes of my life. Being a part of the city has always been a big dream of mine, and now I get to live it. My medium-sized suburb in southern Maine will always have a place in my heart, but I also believe that it will be a source of pain for me. I tried to find myself in high school only to be influenced by the people who I thought were my friends only to be betrayed and left. At Simmons, my goal is to fully be myself and find who I am without any interruptions from outside forces-whether that's people, situations, or my past.…
