    College is a place where students go to get a degree in the field they want to fulfill their dreams. Since school is a positive environment students, shouldn’t get frustrated finding a parking space. Nevertheless, with new students attending college every year, we need to expand our parking area and add more lighting for the students and for the faculty. The problem is that there is not adequate parking for everyone and students will speed through the parking lot, which causes accidents. According to Andra Cantrell, vice president financial and administrative affairs of Weatherford College, “Weatherford has been cited as the fastest-growing community college in the state.

    What sets USC apart from other schools is academics. USC has some of the best professors in the world and I want take advantage of learning from the brightest minds that USC has to offer. I consider myself lucky in the sense that I was able to figure out early in my life that my passion was truly in sports broadcasting. I used to watch Sportscenter and other sports shows such as First Take when I was younger and know that I could do what they did. As a kid I used to sit in front of the mirror and grab one of my mother’s hair brushes and practice by doing my own sports talk show that delivered and discussed sports news. I continue to study and watch some of the great broadcasters and journalist. While I am watching them I take notes and try…

    Choosing what college to attend can be a daunting process at any time. Selecting a school as an adult student can be even more difficult. Beyond the normal considerations of cost, program types, traditional school or online, and location, there are additional factors to consider as an adult student. These may include work schedule conflicts, family life, distance to travel, and credit earned for life experience. The nineteen governors who founded Western Governors University took these things into consideration when developing the school and its programs. They developed a school that offers a truly exceptional level of quality in education at a price that is around half of that charged by other schools. So if low cost, convenience, and quality are important to a student, Western Governors University is one of the best choices in today’s educational market.…

    I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Healthcare Management from Southern Illinois University. My reasoning for choosing Grand Canyon University for my graduate studies was because of economic and Christian values. Even though, I explored other colleges, but, after looking at the curriculums they offered. I felt as though Grand Canyon University was a better alternative for what I was striving to accomplish in my future career. The field of study that I am seeking is Health Care Administration so that one day I might become an administrator in a hospital or healthcare facility. My overall goal is to receive my Doctoral degree in Mental Health Counseling Trauma and Crisis so that I in the near future, I might be able to help individuals…

    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.…

    universities”, I strongly agree with Kee Dewdney and Vanessa Morgan, my belief is that Canada’s school system is lacking on the basic ability of teaching. There are many reasons behind this, in my opinion I would say it is not just the students fault, yes we are easily distracted, yes our attention span is very low and yes we do tend not to care or put in any effort, but it is just as much a teachers fault as it is a students because a teacher is the root, the starting point, and the guide to a successful well taught student. I great teacher means a great student. But what exactly is a great teacher? The way I look at it a great teacher is one who builds a relationship with each and every one of their students, a teacher that basically studies his/her students, one who is welling to give that extra half hour to help a student, one that points out the wrong and substitutes it with the right. A great teacher use logic and tactics to approach each student differently based on how they learn.…

    The reason I chose to attend a historically black college/university is simply because of the reputation historically black colleges and universities hold of being one big family. At other state or non HBCU schools you may find that students feel like they are just a number. I know people who generally love their non HBCU schools because of the various job opportunities, networking, etc. that they are exposed to while being there; but they complain about not having relationships with their professors and not feeling apart of the school as a person. At an HBCU you walk in knowing that you are moving into a home away from home. You know those kinds of neighborhoods you see on TV where the neighbors randomly bring you cakes and pies on move in day? That’s how I felt my freshman year moving to Johnson C. Smith University. I graduated high school searching for a sense of belonging and I knew I could get that at an HBCU. The personal concern we have for one another to succeed is a beautiful thing that you may not find any other place but at a historically black college. At HBCUs students seem to receive more support. I get help not only from my colleagues but also from my advisors, mentors, and professors. That’s all I really wanted. I had and still have the will to succeed and do what it takes to graduate and be successful but I needed that push. I needed to attend a school where people cared if I was there and cared when I wasn’t. I didn’t want to waste four years of my life feeling stressed, overwhelmed and alone. With me it wasn’t so much about the big parties and homecoming events the school could offer but simply whether or not I’d have people around me who were just as economically challenged, just as negatively judged by society, but also just as driven to succeed as I was; people who were willing to help me along the…

    My first few weeks of classes at UW-Platteville have surprisingly been fun and brought many opportunities of clubs I did not think I would join. When I imagined going to college for the first time, I thought I would cry and be homesick. To not be homesick I told myself to be involved with the Welcome Weekend activities and it worked! My classes were intimidating on the first day, but now that we have had many classes I am comfortable. I am using my time management skills everyday because I have many meetings to attend. Overall, I am glad I choose to continue my education at UW-Platteville because it feels like home.…

    There are many reasons to attend college, for many of us we are pushed by our parents to acquire the highest level of education, possibly an education they haven't acquired themselves. We are taught at an early age that education is the "only" way to achieve success. I think that is no way to push a person to go to school. I believe we all have a choice to choice what we want to do, and not be lied to by our parents, nor society to become who ever we are meant to be, whatever path we may take, may it be through an educational institution or through other means we all have reasons to attend "college".…

    High school is a strange time. After three years of trying to develop identity and friends in middle school, students are expected to mature immediately on the first day of ninth grade, but I never did this. I never fully realized in the earlier grades how important high school success, as measured by GPA, would be to my future life, and as a result I am applying to college with seemingly contradictory measures of my ability to perform college-level work. If I had worked and studied hard rather than hanging out with friends and viewing high school as an opportunity to socialize, I would not have to apply to school with a 1300 SAT and a 2.7 GPA. Had I taken my grades in my earlier years seriously, I could have been a college's dream candidate.…
