The Importance Of Attending Saint Mary's College

Though Saint Mary’s Academy and Xavier University of Louisiana have many similarities, both also have many differences. When comparing the two schools, the similarity that is most apparent is that both institutions are Catholic schools that were founded by women who became nuns and wanted a better education for the black youth in the New Orleans area and surrounding areas. In addition, both are located in New Orleans, my hometown, which explains why I know so much history about both institutions. Even though there are some similarities between both, I can also point out many differences such as gender of students, diversity, and dress code.

While tuitions rose and salaries static, families no longer see the need to splurge on the “college experience”. Not only are students paying for the expense of academics, but on campus dorms and a meal plan as well. Although Students could choose to commute to cut out the cost of dorms, many colleges are too far away from home to do so. If living on campus and commuting were out of the question, then students may enroll in online schooling to get the education they need

As far back as I can remember I have been interested in business, I just did not know it for a long time. I did not realize that I enjoyed business and or finances until I was I in my early twenties when I joined the Air Force and purchased my first home. However, when I initially began collegiate career I originally picked psychology. Which, I really enjoy, but after taking a few classes of my business minor it became clear that my passion is business.

Over the past 100 years, Providence College has been dedicated to bettering society as a whole through education and Friar ideals. Using Dominican Friar ideologies as an outline for success, I will not only continue the momentum, I will strive to accelerate it. The Dominicans recognize the macro environment in education has a multiplier effect. The commitment to education and bettering other individuals helps society more so than just one person. If I do get the chance to attend Providence College, I will continue what I started in High School. In High School I sought to educate my friends and even my teachers about the importance of investing early, and often. I started an investment club to help facilitate this. As a result of helping others,

Without the strong Christian values upheld by Messiah College, it becomes incredibly difficult to walk the narrow road of Christianity during college. As a newly independent young adult, there is a constant stream of tough decisions to make in college. The dependence on classmates and friends increases throughout college, and I want to attend Messiah to surround myself with good influences and other people who share the same beliefs and principles that I wish to uphold in my own life. Non-Christian colleges cannot compete with the welcoming religious atmosphere that Messiah has to offer. Messiah College will be an excellent way to extend my faith into my education and learn how to bring Christ more into my life.

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

The most common questions in a high schooler's life is “ where are you going for college” or “do you plan on going to college?” in my case I answered yes and said Meramec. I am going to Meramec Community College for multiple reasons, I am not the only child in the family so that means my parents have to pay for two other kids as well, so tuition at a four year college would be to much for them to pay. I also decided to attend Meramec so that I could help out with taking my siblings to school instead of having my dad taking them every morning and only getting a couple of hours of sleep. Being Hispanic and coming from a background where school is very important, I need to try harder and be someone in life and not be that guy who doesn't have any money or a career while living in my parents basement, I want to be able to provide for myself and my future family.

I am Teresa Loce. My desire of attending Queens College is driven by my past experience as an alumni and several other factors. Before I write about those areas allow me to describe what I am currently involved in. I have in the interim since graduating from Queens College, earned a Masters Degree in Early Childhood and have utilized my teaching license to work as a teacher in a day care center and currently a preschool. Presently I have come to the place where further licensure is needed and hence professional education to further my career. Therefore the opportunity to pursue studies at Queens College to obtain my Bilingual Extension Advanced Program appears to me as the clear course to move ahead as a

Today’s generation is technology reliant. People think that their life is incomplete without technology. No one could stay away from their phones for a second. People get frustrated when they get weak Wi-Fi signals and this frustration could create a big negative affect in their lives. There are many students who get low grades due to weak Wi-Fi signals. It is shocking, but it is true. Edmonds Community College is a really old and respected college, but a black spot on this college is bad internet. Edmonds Community College’s website states that they got free Wi-Fi for students, but it does not states that how bad it works. Classes in Edmonds Community College mainly rely on Canvas which is a website for students. This website is important

In The Biggest Misconception About Today’s College Students, Gail O. Mellow discusses the struggles many community college students face: paying for living costs. Students are overworked because they must have a job—sometimes two—and still must study, attend classes, and, in many cases, take care of their family (Mellow). If students are unable to afford food, shelter, and transportation, they must focus on being able to pay for those rather than focusing on schoolwork. With their priorities shifting form academics, many students are unable to succeed in college, and many drop out. Some don’t even apply in the first place, because they feel like they can’t pay the living costs, even if they had scholarships and grants to pay for tuition. The severe lack of academic focus for these students prevents them from receiving the quality of education they deserve, because they don’t have the time for

Being a woman, a first generation college student and growing up in a collectivist culture, I find it very difficult to pursue my education. In addition to this, there are always a lots of ups and downs when having a business in jewellery industry. This has made it very difficult for my parents to afford my tuition. As a result, I have been taking 12 credits every term and this has been affecting my graduation plan. In order to finish my degree on time, I started taking courses at Portland Community College for which I try paying the tuition out of my pocket from my part time job.

There is no escaping the fact that the cost of college tuition continues to rise in the United States each year. To make it worse, having a college degree is no longer an option, but a requirement in today’s society. According to data gathered by the College Board, total costs at public four-year institutions rose more rapidly between 2003-04 and 2013-14 than they did during either of the two preceding decades (Collegeboard.com). Students are pressured to continue into higher education but yet, the increasing costs of books and tuition make us think about twice. Sometimes, some of these students have to leave with their education partially finished, leaving them with crushing debts. It is important to find the means to prevent these

For thousands of years, humans have travelled all across the world in search of enlightenment and spiritual improvement. These journeys are seen in every major religion; from the Islamic pilgrimage of Mecca to the Hindu pilgrimage of the Himalayan Char Dham. The act of embarking on a pilgrimage is never an easy undertaking; particularly when that includes the reliance on relationships that have not yet been forged. This connection with culturally different individuals develop an unequivocal sense of belonging while on these journeys. Yet, one could say that college itself is a pilgrimage, with the relationships we create being the mechanism that solidifies our 'belongingness '. In retrospect, it is my experiences throughout this ‘college pilgrimage’ that has brought forth my interest in how the formation of relationships and the role of fictive kin influence major pilgrimages.

I always said I wouldn’t attend a community college because of the stigma. I foolishly figured it was self-degradation because I was the valedictorian of my high school graduating class. My friend even joked, “Wouldn’t it be hilarious if you went to a community college?” I gulped and vowed to myself to never attend a community college. Yet, here I am, unashamed. I actually regret not initially attending community college.

During the summer, I was constantly on Pinterest looking up ways to get ready for college, life in college, and everything about college. I ran across a pin about “how to make time for Jesus in college”. I pinned it just in case. I wasn’t expecting that I might need it. I still haven’t used it but I came to a realization. Being at a Christian college is so beneficial. It helps to be around other people who share your faith and desires and morals. But I have realized that being at a Christian college alone doesn’t make you a better Christian or mean you have a relationship with God. It only means that you get a biblical view with your education. You get to be surrounded with other Christians at a Christ-centered school. As for being a better
