Imagine growing up in a turbulent environment for 17 long years, with no one to understand you and with the thought of not fitting in with others around you. Growing up I never went anywhere and never had many friends. Often, I always thought I was missing something in my life until I toured South Alabama. It opened eyes up to serenity; which I had never been exposed to. After visiting the school, a love for it grew strong in my heart and I, eventually did further research on it and learned that it had a lot to offer; on both an educational level and a socializing level. A lot of information was gained from the research. The three main reasons that caused me to really and truly want to attend are because of diversity, distance, and college …show more content…
The college offers a well-rounded educational experience with high standards, with small class sizes for hands on research opportunities. The school has numerous organization and programs to ensure that each student is able to stay focus and stay on top of things with each other, socially and educationally. South Alabama is ranked as one of the top 10 schools in the nation. By the schools ranking, its research opportunity/ resources is very sufficient and state of the art. If admitted I plan to take advantage of the college experience, by joining in a few organizations such as SGA, Beta Club, and National Technical Honors and by studying all the resourceful information to become the best computer engineer I can be. Attending South Alabama would mean the world to me. If accepted and given the opportunity to have a South Alabama experience and education, I would make the most of it. I plan to stay focused and pay attention to ensure future success and making sure I am headed in the right direction. I understand that every decision I make between now and in college is essential for my life beyond college, but before I get to that point I must stay focused and on task to ensure everything goes
I believe If accepted into Appalachian State University I would exude in both academically and both socially. Appalachian provides many appealing aspects to me, prominently their historical academic programs. Now as a 1st Generation, child of Mexican immigrants I was expected to attend a college in the city notorious for large classes and a standard picturebook college. When I first heard of appalachian I was in awe because it was everything I was not told about. The teenager in me had to investigate more, and the more I read about the university the more I fell in love. If I were to be accepted I would permanently reside in their campus, which would put me out of my comfort zone being that I’ve been in Cary my whole life and was born in New
The Ultimate HBCU Experience My colleges and I are well prepared for this scholastic year. We were able to attend the Tailor Made Retreat this past weekend and it was amazing I've learned in 3 days what some people may never learn in a lifetime and for that I'm grateful Thanks for this wonderful experience, exposure and most importantly growth. We were challenge to accomplish a lot and with the great team work we were able to complete each and every task. Although, it was very competitive lol we still had fun and most importantly we're able to do what we came theie to do. Which was to become better leaders and servants.

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
When doing the initial research on Ashford University I immediately thought this was the college for me, I was eager to see this college met all of my educational needs and had a very good reputation. On the facebook page for Ashford University it had very good reviews and nearly every site I visited only gave positive and encouraging opinions of the college. So far the staff at the college have been nothing but help and considerate. When reviewing the curriculms of the school and when one of the staff told me inaddition to its already accelerated programs, i could potentially accelerate moe though doubling up classes and doing clep work, that was when this college truly stood out to me as having greta potential to be a great academic excerience.
When I walk around the University of Georgia campus, I feel that I have found home. In such a short time UGA has impacted my mindset and goals. UGA is a place I feel inspired to grow, learn and build relationships. A year ago if you would have told me I would find a place that feels more at home than anywhere I’ve lived, I would not have believed you. The past year of my life before getting accepted into UGA was one of the most difficult years of my life. I had left some toxic relationships, experienced health scares and was lost in where I wanted to go for school. I applied to several Universities, received acceptance letters, but none of the acceptance letters made me excited. UGA was the last application I was waiting to hear back from
When you are a senior in high school, your first few months of school are spent taking standardized test and choosing what colleges you will apply to. The decision of selecting a college that you will spend four consecutive years at furthering your education, and getting ready for the real world, is a decision that takes a lot of thought. When we look into Universities we not only look at them at an academic standpoint, but we also look at what a school has to offer that will make us feel as if we belong there, and that it is somewhere we can call home. A lot of students choose to attend Southern Universities because of all the wonderful things they have to offer, and because of the family orientated vibe that they give off.
My father, throughout my entire life has talked about his college experiences at Randolph Macon. The numerous experiences he talked about whether it would be about campus life, the great community in Ashland, VA, or the times he spent on the football field. Randolph Macon would provide me with the exact skills I would need to become a great success in the future because, the college would give me the liberal arts education that can give me a general idea of all careers that are open to me, Randolph Macon has such a diverse population of students I would be able to interact with different people that you wouldn’t normally meet, and Randolph Macon provides programs to help students know exactly what they need to get through college.
Overall, Texas A&M offers a great opportunity for me. Trying to get into this university alone will give me the opportunity to get better and try my hardest. I also love the fact that this school has a 20:1 student faculty ratio. I have always went to a small student faculty ratio school and I want to continue it. Last but not least, the computer science program is perfect for me. I can pursue my dream to have a job that is related with computer
The UA is the oldest public college in the state of Alabama. It opened in April of 1831 and students began to enroll May of 1831. They first offered engineering, then later opened medical school. In 1860 the University of Alabama was officially established as a military school. Sadly a few years later in 1867 UA was burned to the ground by Union Troops, but that did not stop the university because it reopened again in 1872 and became a Law School. The one thing that makes me want to go to Alabama more than anything is their football. Their first football team was created in 1892 and has been the drive of that university ever since. When comparing these two colleges this is one of the things that would win me over. Since UA is the oldest in
Why not attend a college that is made for me, and wants to help me succeed? From the wonderful dancers, to the step shows, to the enthusiastic Greek life, I immediately fell in love with the culture and knew I had to attend an HBCU. I got into a lot of HBCU’s at the event; however, Tuskegee is the one that stuck out the most. The rich culture behind the institute and the fact that most of the class sizes do not exceed forty, which gives you a more intimate learning experience. The school also offered me ten-thousand dollars a year due to my good grades, which was a bonus. In addition to that, Tuskegee has an excellent science program and is ranked number five as one of the best HBCU’s in the U.S. Plus, my cousin went there and loved it, so I figured maybe Tuskegee was the school for me. After telling my family and friends the good news, it seemed like everything started to fall into place. I was meeting people left and right who either attended Tuskegee, had family at Tuskegee, or had some type of ties to the
I felt as though I didn’t really love what I was studying, that I wasn’t really connecting with other students who shared my academic interests, and that my options were limited when it came to exploring things I really had an interest in, such as community/public health. I want to transfer to George Mason because of the multicultural campus community, the excellent academic programs, and because of Mason’s ideal location. My uncle, Eugene Koranteng, attended Mason after coming from Ghana to the USA, and made his mark as a triple jump record holder. He told me that he wouldn’t change a thing about his college experience! I also have friends who attend George Mason and share with me new people they’ve met, as well as new cultures they’ve learned about and embraced! Although Mason’s campus is large, George Mason still keeps class sizes small. I have realized in going to CNU that a small campus is great, but when a campus is so small, the people tend to be homogeneous. At Mason, I know that there is so much to do, to learn, as well as, so many different people to
A&M university is a great school for someone looking for a new experience for an incoming college freshmen, and for my future life. One
Piedmont College is a college that I'm interested in because I find it to be a school that is one of the best. Attending Piedmont would allow me to obtain a college diploma which would allow me to find a job that suited my intended degree. Along with the academics that Piedmonts provides its location is another key feature that makes me interested in the school. While at Piedmont College I would be able to have the whole of north Georgia open to my hiking wants and needs, the mountains provide a sense of beauty to the school at can be admired. School room sizes is also another reason that I am interested in Piedmont College is the student to teacher ratio. I believe that due to this size, I would be able to learn more effectively and get to
A&M is the state's first open foundation of advanced education. With an understudy collection of more than 59,000 and more than 5,200 sections of land on the College Station grounds, Texas A&M is additionally among the country's biggest colleges. Our roots, in any case, are much humbler: we owe our presence to the Morrill Act, endorsed by the United States Congress on July 2, 1862. This demonstration given to gift of open area to the states with the end goal of subsidizing advanced education whose "driving article should be, without barring other exploratory and traditional studies, and including military strategies, to instruct such branches of learning as are identified with horticulture and workman expressions."
