Pros And Cons Of Applying To Cornell Law School

This allowed me to take classes I wouldn’t have been able to take had I stayed in one place. Going to so many different schools has been challenging; however, I’ve learned many valuable skills. For example, during my junior year, I moved to a new state during the second quarter. This was particularly difficult for me because I had been living in California at the time, and Vermont was not only different in scenery, but also in culture. I had to adapt to the New England way of life, maintain my grades, and get accustomed to a completely different body of people. I’ve learned to make friends wherever I go and keep a level head. Flexibility is one of my greatest

If growing up in New York City has taught me anything, it is the gift of optimism and to never give up on your dreams. Even at twenty two while being withdrawn from university, I am still always learning important new life lessons and new things that improve me, and make me not only stronger as a business person and entrepreneur, but my own humanity and existence as well. Being in my own corner of the country can feel disorienting at times, especially when visiting family in other parts of the states. It feels like you are given a brief glimpse through a window at a completely different way of life, despite being relatively close. I feel the next step to learning more about my self and giving me even more of a strong edge is to complete my

Students prefer to attend school out-of-state may be doing so for the reason of atmosphere. The college of ones dreams may not be in the state they currently reside, it could be in a state that's three thousand miles away. Experiencing “new foods, different geography, and perhaps a climate change” may be exactly what the student wants to experience when gathering an education (Baron). Another thing a student wants to engage in when attending college is independence. Independence may be a very important quality when choosing a school. Being responsible for things such as “schedules, making and keeping appointments, shopping, healthy eating, laundry, and budgeting” can give students higher confidence levels which will increase the college experience. The temptation of driving home with one's laundry basket to make one's mom do their laundry will decrease as the miles from home increase, forcing students to become more confident and independent. The out-of-state experience for a college student may be the best part of attending college. The college three thousand miles away can be more “alluring, to be able to spread their wings, especially if their college of choice holds the lure of prestige” causing the out-of-state college to be desirable to any student looking to attend a university of any kind

Growing up in a small community exposes a person to unfortunate situations, such as crime, death, and poverty, that directly impact the quality of life. Experiencing different situations can physically, mentally, and emotionally break a person. It's even more challenging to remove yourself off the dark path that you have seen so many people go down. When you do break yourself out of the inevitable cycle of negativity, it builds your self-confidence and pushes you to strive for better. I feel that certain circumstances I have been forced to accept and experience have morphed me into the person I am today. I am person that works hard for everything I want to achieve. I am dedicated, and I will always remember the ones who have helped me in my success. This career plan is influenced by my community, much like my drive to attend college. My community has a lot of stray animals and only one veterinary clinic. Each time I see a pack of dogs eating out of a trash can or playing in an overgrown, empty lot, I am reminded of what I am working toward.

High school and college students across the country face the decision of whether or not to stay in state for their college education. The financial requirements of college can put a strain on many families. Young adults can also become lonely, scared, and lost without their families when attending college in an unfamiliar place. While college is already life changing enough the hassle of adjusting to new surroundings can be hard as well. Many Americans think that getting into a prestigious college and spending a ton for an education that someone can get for a much cheaper price at their local university is wise. The choice to go to an out-of-state college can affect the rest of someone’s life and send

A major step towards pursuing my career was deciding on a college to attend. Visiting TWU was like a breath of fresh air. Like Sotomayor with Princeton, I immediately made a firm decision to make it my school. Ironically, Sotomayor’s moment of distress when she visited Radcliffe was a lot like the one I experienced when I visited the University of Texas in Arlington. Relating my important life decisions to those of judge Sotomayor has been reassuring. I had a lot of insecurities about not being good enough at TWU. Sometimes, however, I tend to sell myself

As the time for applying to colleges rolled around, my parents pushed for my sister and me to look at schools all over the United States. They wanted to give us a good education and also give us the opportunity they never had. Both of my parents had to attend college in Hawaii. I knew we were just a small island and that there was so much more to experience. I grew excited to have a chance to move away and embrace new knowledge, memories, places, and friendships that would last forever.

The foundation of my future will be cemented with the education I receive here at CBU so that I may contribute meaningfully to society no matter how big or small. However, some of my closest friends from high school attended institutions such as University of California Los Angeles, University of Southern California, and Cal Poly Pomona. I, on the other hand, took the slower route to save a pretty penny. Though I experienced community college for 7 year and graduated, I have no regrets, and those experiences gained thus far make me who I am

Initially after high school I decided to move across the country in order to find myself, my passions, and my career goals. I attended WW-P South in Princeton Junction where many of my friends chose TCNJ. I always loved TCNJ but I knew I wasn't academically ready to be part of the community just yet. I started at a private university in California which turned out to be an amazing experience but also a lesson learned that it was not for me. Everything was new and overwhelming and it was the first time being completely on my own. After completing my freshmen year, I moved to a community college to do better academically and work a little on the side. My passion for pursing a degree boosted during my second community college that I attended.

Growing up in Redding Connecticut I attended Joel Barlow High School. This was a great experience for me because of my small town’s great sense of community. I participated in many activities during my time at Joel Barlow, the most prominent being sports. Being a part of a team really taught me to be collaborative, supportive of my teammates and also gave me the opportunity to form great and trusting relationships. So, of course when it came time to begin my college searching process, choosing one out of the hundreds of colleges and universities that would provide those same principles became quite overwhelming. And while many of my friends had already determined where they were going to spend the next 4 years, I felt very unsure of my future. As more time went by I realized I needed to focus in on

Imagine the senior year of high school when students are poised to enter college and become adults. It's a time of responsibility, of being on one's own, and of shaping lives by making daily decisions. One of the major decisions is where to attend college. Should a person stay close to home and attend an in-state school where people and even campuses are somewhat familiar? Or should the decision be to start a completely new chapter in one's life by attending a college farther away, with totally new challenges? I believe the answer is definitely to leave town.

I entered Buffalo State College at the age of 17; I was scared never in my life had I ever been exposed to anything so extravagant and dominating. Born and raised in a metropolitan city where you can feel the next person breathing down your neck and as you walk its either you brush up against 10 people on each city block or 10 people pushes you out of their way, I wasn't ready for the slow-paced life of Buffalo it simply wasn’t what I envisioned my college life to be. I eventually grew into its lifestyle and learned to adapt to my new environment.

As well as focusing on academics, I also believe that in the future I will expand my social experiences. Familiarizing myself with diversity and broadening my horizons is in my opinion important to act upon. For example, as I embark on the Study Abroad program here at Bryant during my “Sophomore Year Experience” or as I travel after college, I see myself meeting new and exciting people (whether from Spain, Europe, Australia, etc) who can educate me in how their government is run, school systems are set up and overall what it’s like to live in a place that is so much different from my home. In turn, I will be able to do the same for them.

At some point, someone has said that high school will be the best four years of their lives and college gets even better. So with that idea in people’s heads, they come up with their ideal image of the college. They start planning the perfect scenario of what college they will go to and what their roommate will be like. They often try to compare an unrealistic image and turn it into a realistic image, but they are unlike in many ways. Once students step onto the college campus, they will soon face what it is actually like to be in college.When people understand that college is not the perfect movie scene, then they will take advantage of expanding and furthering their education seriously. Going to college is a whole different experience and there is a lot more to it such as the rigorous classes and overwhelming school work, being more independent, and forming new bonds with others.

Where will I make friends? Where will I get an education I can afford now, and an education that will remain valuable for years after graduation?" In choosing the appropriate school to attend a student must take these questions deeply into consideration. What is it that one hopes to gain from education itself? Some students undergo their studies for that slip of paper received upon completion, as that golden ticket to success in the corporate world. I recently read about prime example of this in which a college graduate sued her school for spent tuition claiming that the education received wasn't enough to get the work she wanted. For some college is nothing more than a requirement for a life of prosperity. Other students aspire to gain a better understanding of a beloved discipline, viewing college as the next level of a lifelong pursuit. I personally know people such as this, namely my own uncle who has spent the entirety of his life accumulating degree upon degree. For such people education is a vocation itself. No matter the origins of their reasoning, the ultimate questions that so frequently arise for college students are whether the education is affordable both in money and time investment and whether the value received will be proportionate to the price paid. To put it simply, the goal of every student is attainable change. Life itself is a long process of expanding one’s
