The Middle State University ( Mtsu )

There are three schools students may have an interest in, these colleges are: Cal Poly Pomona, San Diego State University, and the University of Hawaii at Manoa. The information a student could research are graduation rate, admission rate, jobs out of school, curriculum, greek life, and the student to faculty rate. With the curriculum set at each university, many courses are offered to potential students. After one earns a degree, based on a specific curriculum, schools try to help one student get a job once that pupil have graduated. In the upcoming paragraphs one student could participate on campus: the fun in engaging in greek life, or how in class, the student to faculty ratio may affect a student 's learning. By gathering information

When a student chooses to dorm, they are forced into independency. They have more responsibilities, but they also have more freedom. Dormers are responsible for meals, laundry, money, and their well-being. In contrast, students that commute do not have to worry themselves with these responsibilities. With the parental aid, they always have a safety net to fall back on. However, living with parents often means living by their rules.

My search for housing began only six weeks after I had packed my entire life up and moved from New Hampshire to JMU. Thankfully my sister is currently a senior here at JMU so she knew how important it was to sign a lease quickly because of how fast the housing complexes fill up. According to the Best College Rankings from US News and World Report, 13 percent of the students live in college owned, operated or affiliated housing and 87 percent of students live off campus at James Madison University (“James Madison…”). Since so many students live off campus, my friends and I decided that we were not going to live in the dorms again next year so we

The Harris-Stowe State University began in the year 1857 after the St. Louis Public Schools decided to establish a school meant specifically for white students. Initially, the state named the school Harris Teachers College. The naming of the school was in regard to the honor of William Torrey Harris who served as a St. Louis superintendent of schools as well as the Commissioner of Education in the United States.in the year 1920, the university had the opportunity to offer a four-year bachelor’s degree for arts and education courses. Furthermore, the St. Louis school system established an educational system that trained black teachers in 1890, changing the university’s name to Stowe Teachers College. The latest name was on the honor of Harriet Beecher Stowe. In 1954, the Supreme Court under the case of Brown v. Board of Education ruled the integration of Stowe and Harris colleges to form one institution under a merger that saw the creation of Harris Stowe State University (Wetstein, 2010, p.16). Consequently, the university entered the state system of public higher education.

The focus of this paper is to dispel a common view that community colleges do not provide on-campus housing and to provide greater insights into the types of community colleges that provide on-campus housing, the typical student who resides in on-campus housing, a guide to various California community colleges that provide on-campus housing, and the impact that on-campus housing has on student learning outcomes, financial gains for community colleges that provide on-campus housing, and an overview of the lack of data in the area of not only on-campus housing in community colleges, but community colleges at large. According to Cohen and Brawer (2008) access to student housing is one of the fundamental dissimilarities between public

Please accept this personal statement as a part of my application for the doctoral program in criminal justice starting the fall semester of 2016. The University of Southern Mississippi is my ideal location for the achievement of a doctoral degree. I would like to demonstrate my knowledge, experience, and research ability in the field of criminal justice and correctional studies. Having majored in the discipline as a former graduate student, I want to further my education to assist and promote future changes in criminal justice and correctional policy. I am looking forward to the opportunities your program has to offer and I believe my background and perspective in criminal justice will help enrich the program, as well.

The Student Government Association, a student lead organization aimed to improve the campus community, has established several goals they would like to accomplish during the current school year, 2015-2016. In order to determine these goals and objectives, two detailed persona profiles were created which provided the association with a better understanding of their audiences and how to best communicate with them. The publics were divided into two groups, students pertaining to the senate and students pertaining to the student body. Therefore, the next stage consists in performing research regarding the goals SGA has established by conducting surveys and focus groups on campus.

This study discusses the risks that college students can be exposed to when choosing off campus housing. Initially, this article presents the property owners of rental properties as individuals who do not take care of their properties and have no concern for the tenant. Further reading of this article finds that due to the high turnover with rental properties and college students there is a greater risk of the student becoming physically sick due to the environment within the rental property. “Globally, housing is the single most important environmental factor associated with disease conditions and higher mortality and morbidity rates (United Nations, 2007)” (Johnson, Cole & Merrill, 2009, p. 2).

With a longstanding tradition of offering quality education for over 175 years, the University of West Alabama branched out in the fall of 2002 and began offering online educational programs. Since then, online education has taken off at UWA.

According to the Gallup-Purdue Index Report, only 39% of the over 30,000 college graduates surveyed had experienced elements of well-being as well as felt engaged in their work (Great Lives 7). Interestingly, the study also found there was no difference if they attended a public, private, non-selective, or a highly selective institution (7). Therefore, graduates of the University of North Florida (“UNF”) are doing the same in job engagement and well-being as graduates from all other colleges. Thus, less than half the graduates from UNF enjoy overall good lives; UNF must do better. UNF must revise its education policy with the goal of having all of its graduates enjoy good jobs and good lives.

The number of students attending the University of Alabama has reached a new high of 37,100. That number is a 2.4% increase from 2014 (uanews.ua.edu). As the number of students is predicted only to increase in the years to come, the University must reflect on the housing options for these 37,100 students. Freshman students required to live on campus face a difficult situation--lack of housing. With that being said, the best and most efficient way to cope with the ever growing population is to allow freshmen to live off campus, and build more apartments around campus to allow thousands of more students to have places to live in the future.

A majority of high school graduates are likely to be nervous to a degree about their first year at college. Students may report being nervous for the reason that they don’t know how to navigate through the campus effectively, they feel unsure about where they fit in socially, or they happen to be unfamiliar with the university’s culture. Much to my surprise as a first-time freshman, the University of Arkansas at Monticello provided various activities for students throughout the fall semester. Certain activities have proven to be more beneficial than others. A few events I have attended included freshman orientation, grabbing lunch with a classmate, viewing a show of fireworks with my friend, and taking a stroll through the campus. Out of the four, I benefitted greatly from the stroll through campus.

Approximately two-thirds of Michigan Tech students live off campus, so around 4,600 students. Students demand rental housing so a large demand is created in Houghton, especially locations closest to Michigan Tech’s campus. Michigan Tech estimated the need for an additional 400 beds mostly in apartment style housing for student use in their 2006 Master Plan. Housing costs at Michigan Tech run $9393 and up (including food) per academic year so rent should be marketed lower to make it a viable option considering commuting expenses and inconveniences to campus. Many houses Tech students live in now are larger low cost homes that are past/ well past their prime. As these houses need to be removed, an emphasis should be placed on apartment style units as well as semi, duplexes and up. Low-rise or garden apartments would make the most sense for the area considering the smaller population. A high-rise apartment should only be

Finding a job that fits you best can be very difficult. Is this job what I really want to do every day for 8-12 hours? Will I enjoy it and give the people their full satisfaction? These questions are important ones to ask yourself before you just jump straight into a job. Making sure that you are happy at what you are doing for a living is very important.

Statistics show that after high school, many graduates tend to end their education. Many people do not choose to continue their education and attend college. My goal is to not be a part of this statistic. After I graduate from Wayne Early Middle College High School with my high school diploma and my two-year Associate in Science degree, I hope to transfer to the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. According to newly released facts by the Business Journal, the University of North Carolina at Wilmington was ranked as one of the top 50 business schools in the nation. This influences my desire to attend even more as I plan to major in business administration.
