     Numerous types of crimes can be committed if a school allows an open campus during the lunch hour. Felonies usually occur during times when people are not at home. At lunch, students can have illegal access to vulnerable houses if they choose to do so when they are wondering around in the streets. This could lead to a crime increase among a neighborhood, and cause disputes and problems. Citizens feel safe in their neighborhoods, but crime and robberies can make them feel uneasy.

The texts “Manhood,” by John Wain and “How Not to Get Into College,” by Alfie Kohn illustrate similarities and differences that are directly related to the lives of people in today’s society. Both texts represent the idea of rigid social expectations challenging people to re-evaluate their perspectives on intrinsic happiness and to live up to others’ standards in order to gain approval of happiness, resulting in extrinsic happiness. In “Manhood”, the rigid social expectations are portrayed thorough the relationship between father and son and in “How Not to Get into college” they are portrayed through the scenarios of students.

One can also find guitar, and music shops on the street, as students generally enjoy playing the guitar when they aren’t studying. These serve the local student community, as well as other members of the public and the clubs, bars, take aways, are usually exceptionally busy on most days of the week. This is generally because “consumption has never been a necessity”, and of course take aways are a direct example of this, as one could by goods from a store and cook them, it generally isn’t imperative to buy pre cooked food, however due to the culture of students it is somewhat useful at the end of a night out. In order to increase consumption the local bars(such as Starbuck’s), and some modern pubs offer free wireless internet in order to attract more of the business and student population and thus, ideally from a business point of view, increase revenue. Also “consumption is a form of socialisation and most people feel they belong and are a part of something when they consume”(Making Social Lives) which is businesses such as Starbuck’s thrive in student areas/in the inner city where white collar workers work as generally white collar workers earn a high amount of revenue, and spend it predominantly on services (Making social lives, page 24)

As an incoming freshman, I was a nervous wreck about living away from home. I’ve gained a lot of independence from living on campus. Thankfully, my mother did my laundry while I was younger, so I learned real quickly on how to do that. One benefit to living on campus would definitely be the amount of independence compared to commuting from home. There are still rules but I found it amazing that I could hang out with my friends until late at night and not have a curfew to come home. Another reason I would influence living on campus is the amount of great people you will meet. I find it interesting that people from all different kinds of backgrounds and towns can come together and be friends and continue to be friends for a

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.

A "moderate" college budget for an in-state public college for the 2015–2016 academic year averaged $24,061. College is an extremely costly experience that limits most people from not coming into the graduation range due to the debts they would never be able to pay back throughout their life. Community colleges should have a free tuition so that upon attending, lower debt on students, a healthier lifestyle, community improvement, availability, and a smarter country may be implemented with the students.

The issue of whether community colleges should be open access has been plaguing 2-year institutions for some time now. When the idea of open access first became relevant to community colleges back in the 1960 's, it was implemented as a way to diversify the student population by allowing minorities, low-income, non-traditional, and academically challenged students the opportunity for education past the high school level without any questions. Students that were categorized in one or more of those groups typically wouldn 't be admitted to institutions of higher learning that possess limited access. As a result enrollment numbers in community colleges begin to rise until the turn of the twenty-first century. It was at this time that institutions start realizing the financial burden that allowing open access was causing. The funding from the state and community partners wasn 't enough to keep up with enrollment. When budgets are cut at community colleges, it forces enrollment caps on classes and special programming to be cut.

Since I started community college I’ve heard several dozen cases of people changing their major, changing their transfer college, or just changing their mind. I’m not likely to do any of that, I choose to use my time in high school deciding what I wanted to do and so far I am sticking to it without a doubt in my mind. I chose to go to community college, earn my Associate's in Business Administration, and transfer to James Madison University in the fall of 2018, graduate in 2020 with my Bachelor’s. I intend to get my Master’s either right after my Bachelor’s or within a few years of my career. I hope to have a job leaving JMU, my first accounting job of my career. I decided to major in accounting for a plethora of reasons, but not what most people expect.

Recently at our high school there has been controversy over the topic of open campus. Is this a good idea? Letting growing adults off on their own well-being is a horrible idea. These students should be watched at all times and monitored. The food provided by our school is government approved and good for nutrition. But, of course if we have students off on their own they won’t come back to school. School is meant to be a safe and educational place for all students.

Off school campus could save the school a lot of money! Who doesn’t want to save money? The school would save a lot of money by not having to prepare as much food. Some claim the school doesn’t need extra money, but we could use it to improve things throughout the school. We could invest the extra money into things such as new textbooks, technology,

Open campus should be allowed everyday, so that the students will feel like they have earned the respect from the school, but that respect should be earned such as getting good grades and trying hard in school. If students were given responsibility, then they would feel like they have earned their trust, when given trust, people are inclined to keep that trust and do better in school. Students wouldn’t have to bring their own lunch to avoid school lunch, but if they had to eat school lunch they would be healthier depending on their lunch choices.
