Taking a Look at Darwin College

I chose the campus clean-up as my service reflection paper topic. The Hinds honors students did the clean up through the Hinds Community College Honors Institute. Everyone who is attending the Hinds Community College Raymond campus and visitors benefitted from the honors students cleaning up the campus. I would also benefit from cleaning up the campus because I knew that I played a part in making the Raymond campus beautiful and because it made me feel safer being on campus. I say that I feel safer because I didn’t want to step in anything nasty at all nor would I want to smell something terrible while making my way to my classes. We picked up trash that was riddled throughout the campus and we recycled aluminum cans, plastic bottle, and some cardboard products. My main goal by doing this was to keep Hinds Community College in Raymond a safe, clean, and beautiful.

Since the human history enter into the 20th century, people realize that the finite of industrial production, and the significance of the diversity; therefore, pursuing sustainability is one of the most significant goal for people to make efforts. However, achieving the goal is not easy, many factors have restriction on achieving sustainability, such as economics, politics, and culture. Because of so many restrictions on the achievement of sustainability, coordination is necessary. In these days, many universities try to make the sustainability happen. The university of British Columbia has been working to explore the sustainability for many years, and plan to advance the sustainability on their campus and beyond. To make the success of the environmental sustainability, they treat their campus as an interconnected system. They plan to transform the campus into a sustainable lab room because they believe that sustainable is not only a word to define but also a way to interact with the world. They want to become a social test-bed for sustainability. It required the coordination of the entire campus to meet their commitment. The transportation management, green building design, sustainable residential community and engaging students, staff, and faculties all work together to achieve their goal.

It is in a perfect world situated in the heart of the East End in the city and for voyagers it does offer wide range of luxury hotels in London. This building is presently unused, however initially utilized as a showroom for the building material and tiles for the organization. The building was being used in 1960s. In addition, now this building is transformed into a scene for craftsmanship presentations on a vast scale, yet it is an impermanent

The building was a marvel of modern engineering. A carbon neutral, solar and geothermal powered monument to the future. The outside of the building a sleek combination of recycled redwood and interlocking solar panels. The inside’s high vaulted ceilings and sleek white pillars formed a cavernous inner space. Three classrooms divided the building into working spaces. The bright L.E.D lighting and modern fixtures completed the buildings futuristic design. This building was the newest in a long line of additions to my middle school's campus.

In 2009, Centenary College in Shreveport, La, audaciously cut half of its 44 majors after the endowment dropped by 20 percent. Many can feel repercussions in many different ways. Although people were affected, the college made the correct decision to cut those classes.. Also, there is truth in the statement, “And they'll be happy, because facts of that sort don't change. Don't give them any slippery stuff like philosophy or sociology to tie things up with. That way lies melancholy. Any man who can take a TV wall apart and put it back together again, and most men can nowadays, is happier than any man who tries to slide-rule, measure, and equate the universe…” (Bradbury), and it can be reflected in The Death of Liberal Arts by Nancy Cook.

Throughout my reading on the article by Kinchen there were many new and great findings brought to my attention. I had never knew anything about the history of Edward Waters College or really heard about it. She opened my view and understanding of what this schools history was all about. I found out about many opportunities of the school back then when it was first instituted with all women. This school was opened to set slaves free and become educated from their previous lifestyles they had gone through. During my reading, Kinchen displayed various of themes and points she came across overtime while experiencing at Edward Waters. In this paper I will be gladly to talk about some of them and what she tried to convey.

“They sell college like soap, promoting features they think students want: innovative programs, an environment conducive to meaningful personal relationships, and a curriculum so free that it doesn’t sound like college at all” (Bird 36 – 39).

AIMCO initiated an estimated $120 million redevelopment project upgrading the property. However, unlike Coreplus, the targeted market does not include students. Instead the focus is on an increased share of urban professionals and “displaced urbanites” (Developmental Strategies. (2015, p. 60). The suspected strategy will reduce the cycle of academic year turnover and its associated expenses as well as the general issues associated with college age youths. AIMCO indicate that market “rents [were] above underwriting” (AIMCO, 2016) expectations with 600 SF studio starting at $1,800 and 1400 SF 3-bedrooms peaking at $3,600 (Park Towne Place Premier, 2016). This was clearly a bold move in the wake of rising vacancies nationally in higher-end metropolitan units given the seemingly built-in student base, but time will tell.

Currently, my financial situation has left me feeling very constrained. Due to the workload and need to fully immerse myself in my studies, I am unable to work a full time or part time job. That is not to say that it is impossible, but I have spent my entire adult life striving for the best when it comes to academia. Seven years ago, I finished my studies at the University of Toronto and Sheridan (it was a joint BA/Diploma program) for Art and Art History. I spent the first two years balancing school life and a part-time job, and while my grades were above average, they did not reach the standard I had set for myself. Once I made the decision to only work during the summer breaks, and completely devote the rest of the year to school, my

Girton lies furthest north of any Cambridge college, about a 20-minute bike ride away from the city centre. The far-flung location provides an idyllic haven far away from the hustle and bustle of central Cambridge. It has impressive facilities, including on site playing fields and indoor swimming pool. Little wonder the sporting teams do well with no travelling time invading training sessions.

The building is meant to be intimate, quiet, and close to the sky for students to reflect on after any stress. It uses the light and sky to “reveal what is around us but it also makes known [what] is within us” (Landmarks). Turrell says in his interview with Lynn Herbert, a former senior curator of the Contemporary Arts Museum in Houston, that the journey into the building is also part of the piece itself because it is located on the rooftop of the Student Activity Center. Herbert replied, “you've got to find your way to the rooftop, you've got to go into the garden and I love the way when you come into the garden you see this beautiful elliptical building, but you gotta find the entrance. In other words, your journey to get there makes the reward all that much more meaningful” (Landmarks,

As with many colleges there was no master building plan, but a haphazard development around the original E-shaped, Basil Champney’s red brick designs constructed between 1873 and 1913 – the first World war bringing an end to this phase of building. Basil was at Trinity at the same time as founder Sidgwick and when he failed to get a first, he turned his attention to

There I am, a sublime, 11-story building without gilded decoration. Though it is a public building of the university, everything was on my own routine. Taps are always in by-the-way convenience, filling up my half-worn bottle with limpid water that taste a subtle sweetness. An empty classroom was available halfway up the building, where I settled down in a seat near the window so that the reminiscent nature was still within reach.

Oxford looks forward to welcoming students from every kind of background, so it provides large array of sources for financial assistance including hardship funding, scholarships, prizes and awards to fund your education.
