The natural environment is the parameters of Howard University, which begins at Florida Avenue and Georgia Avenue in Washington, D.C. Howard University is a historically Black university established in 1867 with 500 acres of land (History, 2014). A lot of the buildings appears to have been built in the mid-1800’s to early 1900's leaving historical landmark in remembrance of some of the civil rights movements (History, 2014). Howard University in an urban community surrounded by neglected members of society in an African American neighborhood, with little to almost no grocery stores at the heart of the community. Howard University main campus is entirely urban with no fence

It feels like everyday I meet people who ask me what college I want to attend. I give them the usual list of colleges I wish to apply to, but when Hofstra University comes up, people ask me, “why do you want to apply to Hofstra University?” I say there are infinite reasons why I wish to go to Hofstra. The number one reason being that it is really close to home. Hofstra is an excellent school - one of the best schools in New York. Hofstra has over a 100 distinct majors and minors to choose from ranging from Biology to Engineering to American Studies. I plan to major in Biology, and Hofstra is the best for my major because it has resources to offer its students giving them hands on experiences. Being an AP student, I love to take arduous classes

Point Loma Nazarene University (PLNU) has an established community living agreement, which directs all its members on how to carry themselves within the institution’s environment, as well as in the community. The institution’s mission is to offer higher education within a Christian community where character is modeled and transformed to express Christian faith. Students who join the institution are expected to maintain good conducts, which are guided by the Holy Spirit.

The allurement to Hofstra come in a myriad of ways that make it a top college and a prospective place to apply. It is the largest private college on long island, New York, which is beautifully situated on a 240-acre campus. The thing I love about Hofstra is the dedicated faculty and the way they aid Students and make themselves available to everyone. The student faculty ratio 14:1 shows the personal attention devoted to students. In the past few months, they have reached out to me and helped me in the most cooperative manner. You can almost feel the love resonating from the campus. The wide range of majors and minors that are offered on campus – 140 undergraduate programs – gives the sophomores a variety of programs to choose from while shaping

At Roanoke Valley Early College we expect the best for all students and teachers. And we want what’s best for all our students because we know that they are all capable of graduating with a high school diploma, associate’s degree in their choice and/or certificate (optional). We also want our students to be able to achieve all goals that they aspire to and be able to go to college, of their choice or have a career they would want to pursue right out of the early college that they would love to do. The teachers that instruct will do what is expected out of them to make sure that each student is receiving the information given, make sure that every student understands each lesson, and let students be a part of the learning process by participating

I want to join the FIU Honors College because it offers its students the opportunity to obtain a greater involvement in FIU and the community as well as being able to pursue their academic interests with a diverse group of individuals. This is something I would love to be a part of and contribute to during my upcoming years at FIU.

I strongly believe that every failure is a learning experience that should be taken as a lesson to grow from. I previously attended a 4 year university that became too much for me; attending school full-time, working 35 hours per week while trying to figure out what it is that I really wanted out of this university experience. I ended up failing most of my classes, putting my health at risk drowned by the tremendous amount of stress and just wanted to completely give up. Looking for a fresh start I decided to leave my university, and attend Norwalk Community College. Though this decision created self-doubt in the beginning, it soon came to my realization that it was the best decision I ever made. Immersed in an environment full of positive people, I was able to grow from the experience.

What is the main thing that students look at before attending a school? Tuition fees. Everyone have a tendency of looking at the tuition fee and setting there life goal if they should spend that much just to attend school. On a Tulsa Community College site, the publisher of “Cost of Attendance” asserts that TCC offers the cheapest fee’s. As the publisher of the site, they state That the “Tuitions fees are $2,800” the “Book and Supplies are $1,560” the “Rooms are $8,694” the “Boards are $2,367” and “Transportation is $1,178”. These are by far the lowest prices to be observed for a high school senior. Tulsa Community College is really doing it’s best to help and support their students. You save a lot of money with these kinds of prices. Now turning

I chose to attend West Hills College so that I will be close to home. A small college will be great because I believe it will continue to provide a strong sense of community. The aspect of a strong sense of community will work best because it offers a better opportunity of interacting with your college peer. Attending a small college come with many positive outcomes. One of the many positive outcomes it has is that you have the privilege to interact more with the instructor and the students that are in the class. Furthermore being enrolled in a community college for instance West Hills College Coalinga gives you the privilege of making friends. Going into a smaller campus helps students get to their class faster without an exception of getting

umm.. Your home away from home” A piece of advice my 24-year old cousin, a recent Barry University graduate, gave to me. Hofstra websites states that 1,647 enrolled at Hofstra in the class of 2020 alone. With Hofstra being a large University I was frightened that I feel alone. But with the average undergraduate class size being as small as 21 students. As well as 200 student clubs and hundreds of social, academic and cultural events every year. With this information I anticipate that loneliness will be the last emotion I will feel at Hofstra University. The Second reason why Hofstra University is right for me is because small class sizes, student-faculty ratio of 13-to-1, and of course the student involvement on

Towson University is committed to academic excellence by providing an environment that fosters appreciation for diversity and where creativity and critical thinking are honed for success. These attributes are fundamental to who I am and I believe that my communication and leadership skills will allow me to grow and contribute to the overall experience at Towson University. To support this view I am sharing a story of experiences underpinning important aspects of me that align with the values of Towson University.

I was suspended academically by SMCC in the spring 14-15' year for poor academic performance. This was eye-opening because I had just transferred from Saint Joseph’s College as a pre-med student and was suspended at the end of the year academically for a poor performance. It was earth-shattering because I thought that SMCC's curriculum was nowhere compared to Saint Joseph’s college, I was wrong. I was working two jobs the entirety of the year and I put school aside, even though I was a full-time student. Work was more important because we were at risk of losing our home. I needed to make money to support my family. I believe that it was the best thing that could happen to me it helped me to humble myself and truly find passion in what I was

For years I focused on making others around me happy. I found myself listening to others ideas before my own. Doing things that would go against my morale. I would sacrifice significant time I could have used on my academics to do for others in ways that benefited everybody but myself. I struggled and fell, only because I didn’t prioritize what actually would help me. Centering my life on what was temporary vs what would impact me in the long run. So insight of fixing this problem I took some time off to refocus. Why do I want to continue my academic career at Howard University? One quote easily illustrates why, and that is “your mistakes should be your motivation and not your excuses.” In my own eyes my mistakes and regrets in life weren’t

Although there are many things about me that cannot properly be presented in a college application, I feel the most important quality left unexplored is the perseverance and dedication I have towards getting a higher education. For instance, when I was fifteen years old, and in the middle of my sophomore year of high school, I applied to The Texas Academy of Leadership in the Humanities, also known as TALH. TALH is an early college program, at Lamar University, that was designed for young, academically inclined students to earn college credit while still in high school. By the end of my sophomore year I was accepted into one of the only two residential early college programs in the state of Texas. On August 24, I became the first in my family

One of the most important factors that I look for in a college is a low student-to-teacher ratio and an accessible faculty willing to work with students. I believe faculty accessibility plays a key role in helping to inspire students to be passionate about their fields of study and in preventing them from growing
