George Washington University Experience

Looking back, I regard attending WBU one of my best lifetime decisions. Before I discuss my experiences at WBU, it would be prudent to first give a brief background of myself. To begin with, I have had the opportunity of serving my country in the military and in a way; this has largely shaped my personality and my outlook of life. In that regard, I have come to appreciate the value of life more than ever before. Further, the time I have served in the military has taught me that success is possible in any facet of life with the right attitude, determination and personal sacrifice.

What I seek to gain from George Mason is the ability to forge my own path. To gain invaluable knowledge that will allow me to seek complete independence from my parents. The goal does not end with supporting just myself but my family, as well. I look to George Mason for its dedication to freedom, speech, and the Constitution. My parents have been nothing but the epitome of chains that bind a slave from becoming more when it comes to my social life. I look in hopes of growing not only academically, but socially in order to obtain balance. While the masses look to conform to trends and media, I look to George Mason to expose me to a diverse array of people and opinions to help shape my own.

Coming from a small town on the east coast, I would have never expected to fall in love with such a large and diverse college like the University of Michigan. The upbeat atmosphere of Ann Arbor alone was enticing enough before I even saw the actual campus. Upon visiting, I quickly realized the University of Michigan was a place I would not mind spending my next couple of years. From the countless students all around to the wide variety of shops in town, Ann Arbor seemed like a lively and exciting place to spend my college experience. While walking through the campus, I was continuously amazed by the large intricate buildings surrounding me. Some of my favorites included the Law Library, the College of LSA and the Michigan Union. While I do not plan on attending it, the Ross School of Business was also an incredible

WVSOM is an immensely well-rounded school, from the students to the faculty. I was extremely

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,

Attending Kennesaw State University has been a very rewarding journey. As a current senior in college, I have been given the chance to experience the University environment. An environment full of my interaction with my fellow classmates working in study groups and tutoring sessions. Also having the option to sit in on my professor's 2nd lecture that you did not understand fully during your class period.

WVSOM is no traditional school. It prides itself in being a tight-knit community that cares about the success of their students. I want to attend WVSOM because I want to go to a school where the success of students is at the forefront. Most schools claim that the success of their students is what really matters, but WVSOM does it through actions by giving students unlimited access to educational resources, faculty, and staff. I hope to one day be a permanent member of this beautiful

The mission statement at UNC Wilmington states that they are committed to student engagement, creative inquiry, critical thinking, thoughtful expression and resposible citizenship. These qualities are things that every student should look for when the big deciosion of where to go to college comes up. College is a big stepping stone for students, it shouldnt be about where all your friends are going, or where the parties are gonna be. The education and enviorment you are wanting to be in is what matters. I have dreams and aspirations of becoming a nurse, getting a BSN degree. UNCW has factors that stand out against any other school. Job prospects and salary are high, this means that when I leave UNCW I wont have to worry about whether or not

The University of North Carolina Wilmington gives a welcoming and home-like feeling to all who attend. Once I step foot on campus, it reminds me of the privilege I have of staying home. It has always been the college I've wanted to attend. The small and diverse community is what keeps me here in Wilmington, North Carolina and UNCW fulfills my dreams of not leaving. I find the mixture of races and gender to be essential in a community or school. It defines a person including their culture and allows everyone to be different from one another. It proves that we can all get along and work together to create greater changes as a whole; UNCW has that variety. However, not only does the diverse environment attract me, but so does the beautiful campus.

Diversity is more than a racial term. While we are at a school that has a high concentration of nursing and engineering majors, we also live in a city that thrives on the arts. This encourages both mindsets to coexist together in a symbiotic relationship, both benefiting each other. Diversity also plays into a cultural aspect. Different cultures come together at the University of Louisiana to create an overall culture that focuses on the aspect of family. While there is a strong sense of Cajun culture, as embraced by the city of Lafayette and of the university as a whole, this does not drown a sense of pride of different cultures existing together, encouraging individuality in a community context.

From the moment I stepped onto Georgia Tech's campus, I sensed a certain atmosphere of excitement and creativity. I felt that exciting and innovative things are happening. I instantly knew that Georgia Tech can equip me with the knowledge and education I need to better effect the world around me. Georgia Tech feels like a place where I can be challenged, educated, and intellectually

I think Washburn is a good college because they have a lot of activities there.For example last friday was sibling day. And for a little treat they had a scavenger hunt around campus.my family was 7th place out of 83 groups!

Of this list, I chose UNC-W for a number of reasons. The main reason I chose this school was the location. UNC-W is centered in one of the largest cities in North Carolina. Within just a few miles, there is access to the beach and there is access to a flourishing city. Wilmington is also known for its breathtaking landscape. Being only an hour and a half from Goldsboro, I can quickly get home if needed. The University of North Carolina at Wilmington is known for its size, for the price reasonability, and for the Cameron School of Business.

I chose the Career Services Center because I have utilized some of their services in the past. I have already used the FOCUS2, MountaineerTRAK, and had my resume looked at by a career counselor. I feel in the future I will use their services for internships and on-campus interviews through their job fairs. I will possibly need their assistance when trying to locate a graduate school or optometry school. I feel completing several mock interviews, and having my resume and cover letters reviewed will be of assistance to me in getting into graduate school or medical

Now that I have experienced a Historically Black University, I would like to broaden my horizon and be in a more diverse community. In the real world, diversity is not just racial but it also includes socioeconomic status, religion, sexual orientation, gender and other identities. I will have to work with diverse crowds with the field that I am trying to enter. If accepted into this Master’s program, I will be the first person in my family to pursue and obtain a Master’s degree. I am also the first person on both my mother and father’s side to complete a Bachelor’s and/or Associate
