A New Student Center On Our Campus

What do you do during your school day? Do you space off when you’re in class? Do you wonder why you're in a class you don’t need to graduate? Most students do this is why I think we need open campus. By having open campus this will allow students to unwind, work on homework, and show responsibility.

With more money in the economy the town will be able to pay off any debt, raise minimum wages, give promotions, and allow the town to create more business firms. This is a good reason to let the juniors have open campus, however it would not be equal and fair to the seniors that have spent the last 3 years working towards the opportunity to have the privileges that the junior class after them gets early. Schools are about equality within the school systems and allowing the junior class to get the privileges early would contradict the equality statement within said

There are many cases of this happening in our society today: bussing, urban housing, race violence, but a focus that affects the world now and the future of it is the separation on college campuses. Particularly the occurrences at campus establishments such as university/ student unions and sporting events. A spot or location on most college campuses that serves as the heart or center of the campus which is also as a

Did you know, that open campus helps with how students will act in school and on with their lives. Schools with open campus helps better teach students responsibility. Also, with open campus students will have a better attitude than normal. Open campus to students, is a way to go home or out to eat and relieve the mind of stress. Students being allowed to leave for open campus helps increase trust level of students. Having the privilege of open campus will better increase behavior, Relieve the mind of students, teach responsibility, and increase the trust level in students.

Here at Hebron we have more than 2000 students on the main campus and our campus is far too small to accommodate that many students at once for lunch. We have very few lunch lines and all the lines are always packed full of people. And a solution to this would be to simply allow students to go off campus for lunch, with restrictions however of course. I believe that only Juniors and Seniors with a car should be allowed to go off campus for lunch. As most sophomores are fairly new drivers and including them would be too much traffic to handle in the parking lots. With the the addition of off campus lunch you would solve a multitude of problems at once and make things easier for you and the school staff.

As a college student, I feel as if in each dorm room should consist of a bathroom with a shower, sink, and toilet. Each dorm should have their own bathroom because it would be more sanitary than sharing a bathroom with 10 or more people every day. Schools should extend dorm rooms by taking out the public bathrooms that way they can expand the rooms to fit the bathrooms. It would also be more convenient to students because they wouldn't have to rush to be the first one in the shower in the morning it would be right there in the room. You also won't have to worry about dirty showers or hair stuck in the drains. To get this put into place students could start a petition for this to happen and if we have enough hopefully the school will take it into consideration. This would be the best solution because students would feel more comfortable using a bathroom in their room it could make

Community college is a great institution for students to start their educational journey. Especially when they do not have the funds or lack some of the prerequisite that a university would require. Community college was created to serve the community, traditional and non-traditional students with the best higher education and lifetime learning opportunities. The faculty and staff members at a community college is there to provide leadership in education while going above and beyond to recognize the needs of the students and the community by providing excellent educational programs and support services that are available to all who have the opportunity to take advantage of them. “Student services now include recruitment and retention, counseling, student activities, student health, financial aid, academic support, career centers, transfer centers, and supplemental services such as transportation, child care, and services tailored for specific populations of students” (Cohen, Brawer, & Krisker, 2014, pg. 209). My philosophy in fulfilling the role and mission of the community college, is to establish the mission, vision, goals and values to guide all students on their journey to strive to become successful both in school and in today’s economy.

I believe that we, the student body, should have a student kitchen facility because it will give all students access to a kitchen, help students improve their cooking, and will be a great spot for students to get together and

When it’s time for students in deciding which college they are going to attend, they consider many factors that will go into their learning experience. They take in their housing, meal, and transportation plans, all of which excite students for their college experience. However, the major factor that is a make it or break it deal for many, is if they will be able to afford schooling at a college. Many students take year off or decide to never come back to school due to the fact that college is expensive, even community college. The lack of students from being driven to attend, affects the student population at college. However, if community college were to be free it will cause a more diverse environment for students, causing them to have a different outlook in college. A reporter for US News and World Report, Joanne Jacobs, publishes the article, “As He Promotes It, Some Question Obama’s Free Community College Idea”. Where she is able to provide evidence on encouragement of free tuition. She argues that “with a more diverse group of students, community colleges could gain political capital and the funding that goes with it.” A diverse group of students will help create a new atmosphere for students and help create the college experience they seek. More students who are driven to learn, can potentially lead to new clubs being made, events, gatherings, etc. Having free tuition at community college will not only benefit students academically, but socially as well; which is all part of the development of their character.

Finally, our local business and community takes the final blow when it comes to overgrowth. As you may know, our campus offers off-campus which is where a student can walk or drive off campus during his or her lunch time. Most nearby businesses serve these students between the hours of

Perhaps the rationale behind the lack of on-campus housing offered at community colleges, which is in stark contrast to that of four-year colleges and universities, is the fact that a large number of community college students live in the community, or the urban community colleges are situated whereby students may make use of mass transit means to get back and forth. This is how the system has always been designed, a single-loop approach. Conversely, if one were to apply the double-loop approach, which allows for organizations, in this instance the community colleges, to exercise more degree of flexibility and. It will further permit student affairs administrators to delve more deeply into their fundamental ideas, while meeting head-on some of the policies and challenges they face in developing new strategies in meeting the growing demands of the 21st Century community college students. This may also incorporate the systems theory approach in that it will allow the

Over the past year, we here at the Ryerson Students Union have noticed a few reoccurring issues regarding the inefficient use of study space for students in the SLC. Throughout the last month, we have been surveying our fellow students to see if

People may say that we don’t need an open campus that it will cause nothing but problems from kid not coming back afterwards to kids doing illegal things during the time off, and that there would be liability issues. If parents didn’t want there child to leave. These issues can be addressed.

College is a life changing experience for students. College is a new environment for most students and comes with lots of challenges. Things such as the increased difficulty of academic work and not being around the same social groups as a student was before college can make the transition very difficult. One of the best things a student can do to help with this transition is to live in a campus residence hall. Students should live in dorms because of the community that this creates. Students will gain many beneficial social interactions, will be able to better complete academic work, and will ease the adjustment to college life.

Transitioning into higher education presents challenges for all students, whether it’s their age or previous educational history. Numerous individuals are extremely nervous as they are entering into an advanced environment such as higher education. This because college is a new learning environment at a completely different level. However, freshmen find college to be difficult at first because it’s harder for them to adjust. That’s why many universities should have student centers in place to help students. Student centers give students the pathway for flexible learning as it results in being successful in higher education (Baužienė & Vosyliūtė 2015).
