Students At The University Of Wisconsin Madison

The boundaries of campus are marked by Northeastern banners on buildings along the perimeters, tall, eye-catching dorms, and diverse populations. The modern buildings labeled with red and white Northeastern signs along with thousands of students from a variety of backgrounds and countries are clear boundaries of where the Northeastern campus begins and where the surrounding neighborhoods end. Northeastern University has created a vibrant community of students that partake in research, community service and coops both at home and abroad that greatly differs from the neighboring communities at schools like Boston University, Wentworth Institute of Technology and Berklee College of Music. Northeastern is not just bordered by other institutes, it is also bordered by local communities and neighborhoods in Back Bay, Roxbury, and Fenway. These local communities may be physical borders, but they are just as engaged with the Northeastern campus as the students are. Locals reside in apartments and eat at restaurants located on campus and, likewise, Northeastern students engage in service learning and community service off

Seniors have a tendency of taking their last year of high school for granted. They do not realize that the relaxed classes and fun filled weekends with their best friends will all soon come to a devastating end. They have applied for college, bought miniature refrigerators, and sent in their housing applications, but none of them have really thought about college in the way that they should. When asked about college most high school seniors image the huge parties, attractive people, and freedom; however, college is much more than that and, in a way, much less. College and high school are completely different when it comes to a student’s actual lifestyle, but they have many of the same traits that most high school seniors do not see coming.

Perhaps the rationale behind the lack of on-campus housing offered at community colleges, which is in stark contrast to that of four-year colleges and universities, is the fact that a large number of community college students live in the community, or the urban community colleges are situated whereby students may make use of mass transit means to get back and forth. This is how the system has always been designed, a single-loop approach. Conversely, if one were to apply the double-loop approach, which allows for organizations, in this instance the community colleges, to exercise more degree of flexibility and. It will further permit student affairs administrators to delve more deeply into their fundamental ideas, while meeting head-on some of the policies and challenges they face in developing new strategies in meeting the growing demands of the 21st Century community college students. This may also incorporate the systems theory approach in that it will allow the

Colleges have always encouraged their students to live on campus, especially freshman. This is for the reason that living on campus allows student to encounter new cultures, participate in organizations, and reach academic heights. For example, Tarleton State University states that “Living on campus will enable [the student] to interact with diverse people enriching [their] educational experience and will provide convenient access to professors and academic resources the campus offers. In addition, on-campus students are more likely to become and stay involved in clubs and organizations” (Tarleton State University, 2016). Along with the notion that students residing on campus are likely to reach academic heights, a study conducted at the University of North Dakota during the fall semester of 1966-1967

Along with the excitement and anticipation that come with heading off to college, freshmen often find questions of belonging lurking in the background: Am I going to make friends? Are people going to respect me? Will I fit in?

In my experience working with college students, I have found that this population has a lot of complex needs. Although the Office of Student Engagement tries to do its best to provide activities that appeal to most students’ interests, it is difficult to plan events that everyone likes within everyone’s schedules. I have also learned that because this age group is undergoing a lot of growth and development, the maturity levels among students vary, which means that these students will approach the same type of situation in a variety of different ways. Furthermore, I found that while there are many programs and policies in place to help college students excel, college administrators (both within and outside of Felician University) disagree on the most effective ways to advocate for and serve college students. As someone who hopes to continue into this

College students represent a unique culture that have a multitude of needs that differ from other populations. College for many individuals is an opportunity to express their individualism and experience personal freedom. For many, this is the first time they are away from a structured home life and they are now able to make their own decisions. Now autonomous, they are free from punishment and reprimand from their parents because they are away from home and their actions are hidden by distance. This is an exciting time for the student as they are confronted with many new scenarios. Students are faced with finding new groups to be a part of and discovering ones’ identity becomes a new

College, when it works most reliably, is a complex system of designed norms and nudges that make activities such as going to class, studying, writing papers, and interacting with peers a natural, almost automatic part of each day. Students spend most of their time on or near campus, where those around them have similar goals or are supporting them in their goals. Their diversions from classwork—whether

My community has been a huge part of life growing up. They have been there to help me grow and continue to grow while achieve the goals i have always wanted for myself. It is not all about me. Giving back to your community is key to helping them help future students just like me. My community has done so much for me that i try to give back in the same ways.

According to the U.S. News and World Report article, "University of Wisconsin La Crosse Student Life", 10,558 students are enrolled at the University of Wisconsin La Crosse; of those students, only 36 percent, or 3,800 students live in college owned, operated, or affiliated housing (U.S. News and World Report). The demand for off campus college rentals is explained by the 6,738 students all seeking a place to live. Students are always looking for certain amenities to be included with the maximum price they are willing to pay for rent. The possible amenities are social atmosphere, utilities included, WIFI, parking, or proximity to campus. Students seek freedom when coming to college; first, from their parents, then the rules

As human beings, we’re all motivated differently and what works for me might not work for you. So instead of trying to convince you to think exactly how I think, I’m going to share some of my story with you - failures and successes alike - of how being a part of different, social communities has been so impactful for my education and some of my early career successes.

The community of aspect is what makes University of Washington so unique. Each potential students has a different trait, experience, or personality that they can contribute to the University in order to create a more helpful and diverse campus environment.

In a few short months I will be 900 miles away from my friends, 900 miles away from my family, and 900 miles from my favorite coffee shop. All of the familiarity will vanish as I am immersed into a new city with unfamiliar faces and absurd street names. I am fortunate, however, to be able to live among thousands of other freshmen who are learning how to “do life” on their own for the first time. Living in Cougar Village II will place me right into a community of academically motivated individuals who will shortly become my second family.

A college campus is a place suggested by our third president of the United States, Thomas Jefferson, to be an academical village. Some may then wonder, well, what does that mean? It means that a college campus should not just be a place youths go from morning till noon to learn and then go on their merry way like they have become accustom to in their previous academic years. Rather, it means a campus should be their home. It should be their shelter and their playpen. A place where they can do everything they desire from when they open their eyes in the morning to when they close them at night.

For college students, however, social life is a completely different experience. For the most part, individuals come from completely different background than most of their peers. One is among a diversity group of people with different social classes, ages, and ethnicity of people. Because of this diversity, bullying is less likely to occur, though it may still happen. Furthermore, college students typically do not worry about their popularity as much, primarily because they are focused on their academics. Individuals are usually climbing the social ladder not only to open the doors for personal relationships, but career opportunities. Peer pressure is much heavier within this environment, however. Individuals are able to attend parties thrown
