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

Southern New Hampshire University is a company and its product is producing competent students who will be ready for the working world. Management at Southern New Hampshire University starts with the Administration and their collective guidelines on everything from the teaching curriculum to practices and policies that keep the SNHU company running efficiently.

A non-traditional student is defined as a student that has one or more of the following qualities: delayed enrollment after high school, full-time employment, part-time college attendance, financial independence, and/or does not have a high school diploma (Cox 7). The National Center for Educational Statistics (NCES) estimated in a 1999 report that almost 75 percent of all undergraduates possessed one or more nontraditional characteristics. However, according to the 2012 studies of research studies in higher education, just 17 percent of college students are considered traditional (Harpe and Kaniuka 250). With the overwhelming amount of non-traditional undergraduates in America comes three major challenges: institutional, situational, and dispositional.

A current trend in admission enrollment management with no end in sight is the increasing number of admission applications. The job of most admissions personnel is to recruit students and increase the number of applications because the more applications submitted, the more that will be rejected, thereby increasing an institutions selectivity rating (Toor, 2000). The number of high school graduates will continue a very slow increase over the next decade and these students will apply to more higher education institutions, looking for the best fit, the largest financial aid package, or simply for one college to accept them as a student. Research indicates over seventy percent of institutions report an increase in the number of applications with most traditional applicants submitting more than seven (O 'Shaughnessy, 2011; Jaschik, 2012). The most elite schools will see an even greater increase

There are 24 religious organizations listed on TCU Religious and Spiritual Life (2015), though, a student nurse does not have religious way to connect that is central to his/her type of need. The Office of Religious and Spiritual Life (RSL) would be responsible for adding Nurses Christian Fellowship (NCF).

Additionally, students attend freshman orientation and other programs to address student needs and concerns. These programs
