Northwestern Observation Report

During the spring of 2012, my last semester in High School, I received a letter telling me I got accepted at Northeastern University. Northeastern University is a private research university located in the northeast of the United States, in proximity to the Atlantic Ocean and in the heart of Boston, Massachusetts. Northeastern is regarded as one of the top 50 colleges in the United States. It is highly praised for highly diversified student body. Essentially a place where people from different cultures, religions, and beliefs meet to get a higher education in a setting that encourages you to embrace your diversity. Going back, this acceptance letter also said something I would never forget: “Welcome to the Northeastern University Community”. I was now part of a community with twenty five thousand students, I remember asking myself how could I get to meet twenty five thousand different people? At the time I had never been to campus and was eager to visit Northeastern, meet people, and find my place in this great place I had envision. Honestly, I

When people hear the word “college”, many panic inside at the thought. But, when I hear the word “college” I think about Illinois State University. In early July, I attended an Open House at ISU for my very first official college visit. As I stepped onto campus, I couldn’t but help to feel like it was my future home. Many aspects of the tour made me draw nearer to choosing this college after finishing my High School career. Illinois State University seems to fit my personality very well, has an amazing program for what I want to study, and is an outstanding campus for my academic strengths and weaknesses.

I have decided to continue my education at Indiana State University because I have truly enjoyed earning my bachelor’s degree.

The first thing that comes to my mind when I think of the University of Chicago is: nontraditional. The University of Chicago’s commitment to the individuality of their student body and building a diverse, quirky college community is an aspect that I truly appreciate. I am aware of many of my weaknesses, one being my reserved nature. I know at the University of Chicago I will be pushed outside of my comfort zone. I want to be challenged to think critically and outside of the box on even the smallest of issues, which is why the University of Chicago’s nontraditional approach and freedom of expression satisfies my desire for a specific type of learning and campus community. I appreciate the University of Chicago’s implementation of a quarter

“How did it get so late so soon? It’s night before it’s afternoon. December is here before it’s June, my goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon?” - Dr. Seuss. Senior year goes by a lot faster than someone might think, and now the time has come to choose where I would like to go for the next chapter in my life. I have the choices of attending Illinois Valley Community College, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, and Southern Illinois University Carbondale. I should attend Southern Illinois University in Carbondale.

Originally, I was hesitant to even visit Tufts, as it was the school my father went to and being a teenager, I try to separate myself from my parents as much as possible. However, when I stepped foot on the Tufts campus, I knew it would be a good fit. I found myself deeply engaged in the information session and becoming more and more excited about the unique and personalized academic opportunities and the and the playful and enthusiastic community at Tufts. Unlike what I originally thought, Tufts is a place where I can forge my own

University at Buffalo is one of the top university in United States. Being an International student, I was privileged to get an admit in this university. I was delirious to attend this university but I was little bit queasy too because I was going to live a new life in a completely new place. I checked in at UB on 21st August 2016. I noticed that people here were very cooperative and helpful. The University at Buffalo has a very good administrative structure At first I was a bit shocked because campuses were very empty but then I was told by one of the advisors that domestic students were yet to check in. Students

As a child, my family planned a yearly trip to the city of La Crosse. I fell in love with the beautiful bluffs and historic architecture. As soon as I entered high school, I began to think about colleges. UW- La Crosse was first on my list. My appreciation for nature and diversity sold me on the campus. I look forward to an opportunity to spend my college years in such a beautiful environment.

I have looked into the University of Notre Dame, and I have noticed that the campus is very enormous. I have never really lived in a big city, so I think that's going to Notre Dame will be new and exciting! I also never left my family for long and Notre Dame isn't too far away from my

Challenge ... opportunity ... achievement! These are three strong ideals that have led me to Northwestern. I visited Northwestern last year and was impressed with its diversity, atmosphere, and resources. On a lakeshore campus, students at Northwestern represent global citizens who are leaders of tomorrow and will make differences in the world.

In all honesty, this was one of the first annotated bibliographies I had written in a couple years. Because of this, I began the assignment by reviewing how to write annotations and how to properly cite sources on Purdue Owl. Given that most of an annotated bibliography was basic summary and reflection, it wasn’t too hard to complete. For the first time this quarter, I began the assignment before the weekend by compiling my sources. For a multitude of reasons, it was difficult to find peer reviewed articles. First, my claim involves social media, which is still a fairly new tool in society. Therefore, many researchers have not gathered information on the effect it has on the young children who grew up using it. What makes it worse is

Although Northwestern will be filled with new obstacles, I am looking forward to attending Northwestern because it is a place of exploration and discovery. After I joined the Northwestern Class of 2020 Facebook page, I quickly realized what Northwestern truly represented. I was overwhelmed by the talented, yet diverse group of students. From an Irish dancer to a lego lover, incoming Northwestern students have had interesting experiences and interests that I would have never be able to be surrounded by otherwise. Northwestern University pushes for a diverse range of talents and interests which is definitely an exciting asset.

As soon as I heard about the Discover Chicago program I knew I wanted to be apart of it. It has always been a dream of mine to attend the University of Chicago but due to financial issues I have never been able to visit the campus in person. I first became interested in the University of Chicago when I visited Chicago on an orchestra trip. Although I was not able to visit the university I was able to see a lot of the city of Chicago and I could really see myself living there. From the various sites and the lakefront skyline I fell in love with the city. Coming from Detroit finding a college that was both in a familiar urban environment as well as near the water is very important to me. Chicago's hometown feel and bustling urban landscape drew

I went to Hondros College back in January of 2016. I realized the college wasn't a great fit for my preferences on multiple events, one including that their academic program was not prepared in a well thought out structure. I dropped out shortly after I started which was about three weeks. They unfortunately did not take me out on the correct date, which affected my grades tremendously.

My biggest fear about college is that the school I go to will lack balance between academics opportunities and experiences. Northwestern maintains its academic rigor and while insuring a great college experience for its students through community. I thrive when involved in a wider community, and at Northwestern, I feel I could be my best self. Personally, I would be interested in joining clubs such as Design For America, Inspire Media, and L.G.B.T. Resource Center. I’d love to be a part of Northwestern community and I’m excited at the prospect of contributing to the legacy of
