The Cost Of College Tuition

Ever since you were little, your parents have been talking about this wonderful thing called college. They told you that you have to go there to get an education before you can get a good job. Many kids have dreamed of going to college, and being able to get the job of their dreams. By putting in hard work and dedication to good grades in high school, you had high hopes that you would be able to get into an Ivy League school. The American dream of being able to go to college to get a degree is sliding away from many people due to rising costs. With increasing tuition prices and job loss, the college dream is slowly and surely slipping away from many students and their families.

When applying for a position at a job, managers always check to see how much experience you have in order to check if you are qualified. When filling out a college application there are always questions that ask to write down any extra curricular activities you participated in or any clubs/service work you did and for how long. It is important to be a part of the community and to be dedicated to one or two locations for a certain amount of time to show commitment and effort. A student that has been a part of an organization for about three months and has not missed will be prefered at a college than a student that goes five times a month. Community service does not only help build relationships but allows students to spend their time learning new skills and it will benefit them in the future. Community service for high school seniors should be mandatory because it will teach the students how to be responsible, allow them to explore in depth something related to their career and improve their communication skills.

The trend continues with the skyrocketing prices of college tuitions. This is not an uncommon issue the days of college tuition being affordable are slowly fading into the past. This conundrum has brought to light the idea of using tax money to help pay tuition. This idea has vast potential, but can it reach its potential.

Furthermore, the author acknowledges that the service requirement won’t be fit everywhere. He says It wouldn’t be practical for community college students who generally have considerable family and work demands. Egger’s says although you would exempt community college students there would still be millions of able-bodied young people. He suggests that modest hours can make a huge impact. He gives an example of the flexibility colleges could have with students so they don’t feel so burdened, he proposes the college gives them credit for their service. Furthermore, the author creates another way a college can make it possible on a student. Dave Egger’s implies that colleges could limit their service requirement to their junior year, when a student

A continuous debate that is currently receiving much attention is whether community service should be a mandatory graduation requirement. Preparing students to effectively function in the real world is an important aspect of our education system. Today more than ever, there is an emphasis on having experience before beginning work. Most jobs are now focused on looking past your resume to see what you have given back to the community. Nevertheless, it is important that schools focus on preparing college students for the work force by mandating that they receive all of the necessary exposure and experience. Numerous schools across the country have mandated that in order for their students to graduate, they must complete a predetermined amount of community service. In Maryland, high school students are required to complete a minimum of 75 hours of service in order to graduate. However, this decision has resulted in a lot of mixed responses. Advocates of this decision stress that mandatory community service opens doors for students, while the opponents feel that it takes away valuable time from students who need to focus on their education. I believe that gaining experience outside of school is critical for future success in life. To ensure that students are prepared to transition smoothly from school to work, they need to be involved with the community while in school in order to build the leadership skills that are necessary to succeed.

Every 7 7 in 10, 226 million college graduates has student loan debt; thats over 1.3 trillion dollars. This paper will give a rough estimate of what someone may need in college and how much it will cost to get them. There will also be averages of college tuition and credit hour costs. College is an important aspect of life now that a degree is needed to get most jobs. There are many ways to decrease the prices of college and there are multiple ways to pay for college but college will still be expensive. The cost of college still is too demanding because of living cost such as food and clothes, The course supplies and student loan debt once the student has graduated but, there are ways to reduce the cost like military

Junior high and high school students should be required to do community service. Students who participate in required community service are more likely to graduate from college than those that do not (Volunteering/Community Service, n.d.). The benefits of requiring community service are there, but not everyone is able to take advantage. It is also important that community service is required and not voluntary, and that the schools make it simple for the students to serve. The rate of students volunteering for community service has been declining (Volunteering/Community Service, n.d.). Some students may have a hard time finding opportunities to serve their community. If schools require students to serve the community and then help them find the

Over the past decade, as the job market has become more competitive - volunteering has become a way to show superiority when it comes to applying for positions in the work force. This influential change has encouraged high school and college level students to participate more in extracurricular activities. Most large corporations and firms are now looking to hire those individuals with outstanding GPAs, strong work ethic, and dedication of time and effort to other activities apart from their academic studies. Colleges such as Liberty University mandate that their students complete twenty hours of Christian service per semester.

Public service can be an excellent way to help out your community and maybe even teach a few skills, but can it provide valuable life lessons and help prepare college students for their life to come? In the essay Serve or Fail by Dave Eggers, the matter of public service being required for college students is discussed. Eggers makes it clear that he supports the claim that college students should be required to perform these services. However, with the factors of everyday college life, it is somewhat absurd to require college students to perform community services along with the rest of their schooling.     Eggers starts off his essay saying that “a good deal of the four years of college is spent playing football” and that college is too long with “many hours in the days and weeks that need killing”.

The topic of mandatory national service has been around for years now, and there will always be arguments on whether it should be enforced or not. Some may say that it takes away our freedom, but is it not what gives us freedom in the first place? The United States’ military, national service, as well as community service is based on volunteers. That is what makes this country great, but there are less volunteers as years go by. Crime increases, streets are not safe anymore, Americans are oblivious to what is happening around the world. There are so many opportunities to give back to the country, yet, not many care. Today’s generation is based on social trends, and self-gratification. There is also the fact that many young people do not know what to do with their life after high school, some continue to college or focus on work, others do not work nor study. Therefore, all young men and women should be required to give two years to national service because it can help solve problems as well as build the community back together.

Among a new generation of millennials is an increasing thought that the government is less reliable than our predecessors thought it to be. Such an increase in skepticism would imply that younger people are less likely to aid their country through civic service, right? Wrong! According to recent polls, newer generations have actually been more involved in their communities via civic participation because of their motivation to improve their country through their own actions. With this recent increase in civic engagement, innovative ways of encouraging more volunteers are being considered to increase participation even more. One of these methods is a national service requirement for society that would make it mandatory for citizens to engage

The service requirement at Benedictine University is an awesome policy. At my high school we were required to do at least 32 hours each year. Our junior year we get out of classes a month early and are released into the world where we are required to serve the an organization for at least 60 hours. This was an amazing experience for me and I believe that all people should be required to do something like it. I decided to go to public school jammed pack with pre-k to 5th graders that are forced to face unfortunate situations. It made me realize just how lucky I am to go to such a good grade school and high school. Based on my personal experience, each student should be asked to complete service in college because it opens your eyes to the daily struggles that people, sometimes much younger than you, have to face each day.

Social and Campus Services are a range of public services provided by government, private organizations or university. We will require colleagues to participate the community services in weekly and use credit bearing (for example: they must attend 80% or above in the services, otherwise they can’t pass of the subject) to mandatory students to participate and avoid escaped.

Many people don’t understand how important serving is. I have found that at some schools, serving is important and is required to graduate. Service is the action of helping or doing work for someone. Serving can help others learn more about the world and help them position into a mature adult. Although service is required sometimes, people should serve by choice. Service hours are designed to help students grow in a relationship with God as well as discovering new ways to serve and help others.

Nowadays, it is very difficult to get a job without a College Diploma. Our ever-increasing demands on student’s academic performances have insured well-educated adults, but what we have failed to focus on is the vital component of volunteerism as an integral part of rearing well-rounded adults. College students should be required to complete a year of community service/volunteer work before they can graduate, in order to create mature and caring adults and versatile future leaders. By mandating all College students across the United States of America to add another year to their studies and use this year for community service/volunteer work only, we will be able to increase their knowledge of community need, civic responsibility, and allow
