Compare And Contrast Stanford Vs Penn State

Western State had peaked my interest when I first made the visit to the campus my Junior year of high school. Around the time I was considering which college would be best for me. When first entering the town of Gunnison I realized all of the potential outdoor activates that I could partaken. Being a Colorado Native outdoor actives have always been a big part of my life. During my visit I enjoyed hearing about what the campus had to offer, from small classes that would provide more one on one interaction from the professors. An added bonus western offers my intended major. I also loved how many of the students never want to leave campus. I also really enjoyed what western had to offer on campus whether that was clubs, sports, or outdoor trips

There was so much a sense of unity all around the campus. Everyone was helping everyone, everyone was smiling and having fun. It was such a community-like atmosphere, and I knew right then that this was the university for me. Shortly after attending the Fall Open House event, I felt in my heart that I needed to really get the ball rolling and acquaint myself with the school/college that I am trying to get in to make sure it will get me to where I want to be. I then organized a meeting with Mrs. Sharon Stroye the Assistant Dean for Undergraduate Programs for the School of Public Affairs & Administration concerning college admission. After speaking with her it sealed the deal for me. Rutgers is where I wanted to be. A Rutgers education is the foundation and next step towards my career in

The University of San Diego is the most picturesque and interesting school I have ever seen. The amazing campus flows on top of the massive hills and above the amazing city of San Diego. From any building or road on campus, you can get a view unattainable anywhere else in the world. The attribute though, that separates this university from all others, is the history behind it. The rich religious history gives every part of the campus meaning, not found at many other universities in America.

At Penn State, I feel I would make a name for myself. This name might be known to the entire 46,000 students on campuse, but in the classes I am taking and the professors I talk to they would know me for a student who has the drive to take the next step and want more. Through my high school experiences I believe that if I can take advantage of what a high school has to offer, then I can certainly take advantage of all of what Penn State offers. It will be here where I truly form what kind of person I am and through all the activities and intership opportunities offered, I feel that this will be a great place to gather all the opportunities I can in order to not only succeed at Penn State, but also after in the real world.

Arizona State University has so far exceeded my expectation of what I had imagined of my college experience. My hometown is in extreme contrast to Arizona and this university. I was born and raised in a both sheltered and exponentially smaller town in Colorado called Monument. I was never exposed to a diverse culture before I had moved to Arizona. I was raised in a community of a synonymous religion, race, and over all culture. The summer going into my freshman year of high school, my older sister had decided that she wanted to attend Arizona State University, the school of her dreams. My family decided to make the move from Colorado to Arizona in order to grant my sister in-state tuition. My high school in Arizona was at first overwhelming

I have been around and worked on a farm since before I could walk. I value the hands on experience and education that is possible at the PSU dairy and its proximity to campus. Also important to me are the many extracurricular opportunities that PSU offers, even outside my major. I look forward to experiencing things that I would not have gotten to if I stayed in my small home town. Juggling a heavy school load, sports, and two jobs has trained me how to multitask and complete everything I need to to the best of my ability. I hope to participate in clubs and organizations that interest me while attending Penn State, like Block and Bridle, Dairy Club, Greek Life, and Christian organizations, and doing a lot in high school has prepared me to be able to balance these things. Finally, I also am excited to take advantage of PSU’s network of internships. This was stressed at the Penn State Ag Open House I attended this October, and it caught my attention. Interning around the state and even the country could broaden my skill set and allow me to bring new ideas to wherever I

When I toured the school and got to stay overnight with amazing student hosts, not only did I fall in love with the campus, but with the welcoming people, California weather, and the thought of the numerous opportunities awaiting me. It was simply a home away from home.

The ability to call college my home, especially when I am far from home, is pivotal in my college decision. From conversations I have had with Michigan students and alumni, the importance of the diverse population is stressed. Michigan delivers a comfortable environment where the staff and peers are friendly. This leads to the creation of a community where people are not afraid to try new things and reach out if needed. This culture is created through many groups and clubs available at the LSA. For instance, the University of Michigan gives a way for students to find people who share the same interests as them. From debates to the cultural shows; there is always an activity to appeal to people of different backgrounds and interests thus I will always feel

The graduation rate at Oregon State University is 63.1% for students graduating within 3 to 6 years, and a similar expected graduation of 59.1%. However, freshmen retention rate is above the national average at 72.3%. The student to teacher ratio is approximately 19 to 1 which is a very decent comparison. A fun fact about OSU is that it is the birthplace of the world famous maraschino cherry, and was invented right on campus. Oregon State University sounds like a good choice for me overall. It’s right next door to my house and I have explored the campus so it’s very familiar to me and the University is the closest to home that I can be. OSU campus is beautiful and I personally prefer it over University of Oregon or Portland State’s campus. The restaurants are great and I visit them all the time. Oregon State has a great business school and that is the major that I am interested in. Many of my friends go to OSU and highly recommend it, and also many of my fellow seniors at Santiam are going to attend Oregon State, so I would already know plenty of people at the school. Altogether, Oregon State University is the number one choice for

Before I was accepted to this University back in 2012, my school took us on a trip to visit the school. When we arrived on the bus I was so excited. When I stepped off the bus, I knew that this school was made for me. The way the school looked to the way they operated fit me. The operation of the school is very easy to learn and easy to adapt to. The operation included easy access to counselors for first year students as well as transfer students. This is very helpful for the students who are new to school and do not have anyone to show them around, like I did not. I also loved the way they had Freshman’s in particular dorms

Located in a busy city with plenty of possibilities to gain business internships and career opportunities. My older brother, who is currently attending the university, boasts about the encouragement he receives from his professors to help him acquire success. Pitt is a preeminent college due to its supreme resources and versatile employees to inspire me to live up to my true

The way a University does in a sport can influence each school. Lastly, during these first few months at Purdue, I have been through a rollercoaster of emotions. I did not know a single person when I first got to Purdue, but after attending several Purdue sporting events I have met several people from different majors, different backgrounds, and different social statuses that I would never have met otherwise. The culture of Purdue or any university would be completely different if there was not a way to take a break from the stresses of school and have a little fun! I feel no matter the size of the school, no matter the sport, athletics have a way to bring people together like nothing

It respects the diversity and personality of students and encourages exchange with other students. The second reason is the university is located geographically and educationally at a good place. I know Philadelphia is a historically important city with a great level of art and culture, which gives a lot of opportunities for undergraduates to experience diverse cultures as well as a wealth of diversity beyond the school program. Thirdly, I am impressed with its faculty and curriculum for electrical engineering

A school that appreciates its students, fulfils their knowledge, and has magic build into it (not necessary the type of magic that would move objects, but the magic that will make the student love every inch of the school). After months of researches, Stanford was found to be the closest to Hogwarts. I found them to be very similar in their ambience. A Gryffindor student would find Stanford the perfect place for courage and bravery. The school emphasizes risk taking. Stanford, too, lies in a valley with cardinal-Close to Hogwarts scarlet-as its color. While all Hogwarts students live on campus, about 98% of Stanford’s students do. The Stanford’s library reminds me much of Hogwarts’s library, with the vivid collection of

I would like to share a brief story on how my feelings for UCLA has changed since the application process. My initial thought of the institution was nothing but respect for the academic opportunities it offers. The one thing I underlooked was the community as well as the atmosphere it had.
