My N. C State Football Experience

UNC Charlotte has made a significant impact on my undergraduate career because this campus has an abundance of resources, a helpful staff, a diverse atmosphere, and plenty of opportunities for campus involvement. This university has a variety of staff, all of which have been helpful in my college experience. They are excellent about working with students so they can gain the most out of their educational experience. For example, when I have sought out more information on which portion of Spain to go to, so that I may improve my Spanish fluency, my professor was extremely helpful. She sat down with me and explained about what it is like living in Spain, tips for where to go, and what to expect from the different regions. This valuable information

Emory offered me something no other school I was accepted to could; it allowed me to study finance and film. Emory also has the perfect location. It is in Atlanta, where many movies are being filmed due to the tax credits in Georgia. This makes getting a job or internship easier. My grandparents and cousins also live in Dunwoody, 25 minutes from campus. This made me feel better about leaving home as I knew there would be people close by if I ever felt homesick. Emory is also the perfect size campus for me. It is large enough to feel like a college not a high school, but small enough to get around campus by just walking. Once here, I discovered you always run into someone you know on campus no matter where you go.

In life some students does not know which college to choose. Some of their questions are, “Maybe I should choose this college because it is cheaper and closer to home” or “Maybe I should go to this college because it is great, expensive, and there’s a lot of fine people there. If it would me in this situation, I would chose the college that is cheaper and closer to home. This is the reason I chosed Ogeechee Tech over Southeastern Tech.

The diversity of NC State would benefit me by allowing me to experience new relationships and skills. I learn and develop through my experiences, and the mixture of the campus, culture, and nearby cities would give me that growth. These new opportunities

Many people go to college to get a further education to get the job they always dreamed of. However, deciding where to go can be tricky. Sometimes others' opinions may persuade you to decide to attend the college they want you to attend. Or the pressure of a loved one makes you decide to attend elsewhere. Perhaps though it’s the cost, but its possible to attend if you truly put your effort in. Regardless of the distance, pressure and cost, I believe you should go to the college you want.

As a Wilmington resident of seventeen years, my choice to attend the University of North Carolina Wilmington is ‘without a shadow of a doubt’ an easy one. In eighth grade, I began to seriously decipher through colleges, and attempted to decide which one was meant for me. UNCW wasn’t initially my first choice, but as I got older, matured, did extensive research, and with my college years growing nearer, it became very evident that it was where I needed to be.

In order to fully prepare for college, I first had to decide and know where I am going, and what I am going to do there. For this, I decided to go to Georgia Institute of Technology. This school is where I want to go, because my mother went there, and ever since I was a child, I have wanted to go there. It is located in Georgia (where I mostly grew up in), so that would give me the chance to live

The University of Georgia has always been my dream school because of its reputation for diverse experiences and academic success. I hope to bring my own unique qualities to the table as a UGA student.

The main reason I see UCF as one of the best colleges for myself is the campus’s distance away from my home. The UCF campus is within driving distance of where I currently live, allowing me to live in the same house while I attend all my classes each day. Reputation has also always been important to me when looking for a college. If a place does not have a good reputation, I do not see much reason to give it a chance. However, UCF is known as one of the biggest colleges in the US and one of the most successful. I also had two friends attend UCF, one for the exact same major as I plan to go for and one that took a very similar major. Both of them have highly recommended UCF for the major I wish to take. Though having this kind of reputation is nice, I was told multiple times to visit the campus myself because not every college is made for everyone. So, I took a tour of UCF on a school sponsored trip and found everything I had heard to be true. The campus was beautiful and the staff were all very kind. After spending the day on the campus I knew this college, after everything I had heard and where it was located, was the one I wanted to

The colleges I will be comparing and contrasting are East Georgia College and Georgia Southern. East Georgia College is a four-year state college of the University System of Georgia. Located in Swainsboro,Ga. It's a public college with about 28 students per class.The demographics of the school is mixed races.To get in the college you need to be have graduated high school, and taken the SAT or Compass test with an good score. The college does not have on campus transportation like public buses, so you would have to have your own transportation.The total cost for a 1 year tuition would be $4,011. I would take up art and sociology for my academic programs. I wouldn't be far from home and there are a lot of places to work.The sports they have

Georgia Tech has always been a dream for me. I don't know why but looking at letters and e-mails that I have received make me feel like I would fit in just by walking on the campus. I know that I can succeed here, and that everyone will help me along the "yellow brick road" of success. Ha, get it, one of the colors is yellow. This is a place where I can research and learn what is needed to continue on in life. My uncle was the one person that really persuaded me to apply. He knew that I could succeed here, and he never even went to Tech. Overall, this is where I know I will

The College was the only university that I had applied to; it was the only college that I felt was not too far away from home, but far enough away where I could have some separation from my parents. This choice could have been totally different if I had not a good relationship with my parents, if my parents had not been able to afford to send me to the College, if my parents could not have afforded to send me to the preparatory school that propelled me to the College, if I had no desire to attend College but instead went into the military because of some outside influence that had changed my decisions in regards to my future. All of these and more could have been factors in my decision, but the social forces that surrounded me: a good relationship with my parents who are white middle class home owners with respectable jobs that can send me a preparatory school and later a university because I have no desire to join the military because of the options that are available to me thanks to my parents. If the social forces surrounding my family had been different, the agency that I had enacted in choosing the College of Charleston as the only college for me would have been different. I had chosen the College of Charleston because I did not want to be too far away from home, which many other students have done previously. I chose the College because I believe it is

In tenth grade I took not only my first tour of Christopher Newport University but also my first college tour. Before even beginning the tour I absolutly knew this was the school for me. After leaving the tour I did anything and everything I could to get accepted there. I visited CNU mulitiple times between junior and senior year by attending tours and opens houses. Everytime I visited I was only impressed more with the school and community of CNU. During senior year I was able to set up an interview and a sleepover with a student amasador, being able to sleepover at a school where you know no one, yet you feel so welcomed is exactly what I wanted out of a school. I applied for early decision senior year but my dreams could not be fufilled.

When applying to college, one of the first schools I looked at was UNC Wilmington because I have family in Wilmington and all I’ve heard was good things. For starters Wilmington, NC is a fantastic city with so much to see and do, not to mention the incredible weather. The Wilmington area is a perfect coastal location. The size of the school caught my attention as well as the location and intensity of athletics. The University is not too big nor small which is perfect for me. The campus always looks highly maintained and perfect. With the beach and the city of Wilmington being 10 minutes away from campus, this school gives me the perfect opportunity to thrive. Also, I like how a majority of students live off campus and I hope to someday do the

When it comes to college football, it’s all about Tradition. It's been a rallying point for school spirit for more than a century in some cases. Some of the biggest college football towns are places like Gainesville, Florida, and Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Those places are not in the National Football League, but they are big enough to fill a huge stadium six or seven times a year. It's like having a big-time franchise in town. A lot of people feel a connections, like the alumni. If you graduate from a particular school, you have an allegiance that lasts for life. Following the football team, from close or far, is a way to maintain that connection. It’s a giant spectacle every week, especially when there's eighty-five to one-hundred thousand people
