The University of Illinois

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

As a senior in high school the time has come when people begin to ask big and sometimes overwhelming questions like, “Where are you going to college?” and “What will be your major?” These questions, of course, lead to college visits and decisions. The two colleges that seem to meet my criteria are The University of Findlay and Ohio Dominican University. Both colleges have positive aspects, such as having the major that I am interested in as well as being close to family.  However, The University of Findlay seems to be a better fit than Ohio Dominican because it is closer to home and I am familiar with the campus and I grew up on this campus.

Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) is one of the largest universities in Tennessee; however, they do not offer enough housing to provide for all of their students. As a result, students are expected to find their own housing off-campus. Hence, students must live in off-campus apartment complexes that are expensive, too far away, and difficult for young students to rent. While there are some benefits to off-campus housing, students face many problems in securing these types of housing situations. The prices of off-campus housing are high and the locations are often too far away from campus to walk. In addition, many apartment complexes do not want young, college-aged people living there.

When people hear the word “college”, many panic inside at the thought. But, when I hear the word “college” I think about Illinois State University. In early July, I attended an Open House at ISU for my very first official college visit. As I stepped onto campus, I couldn’t but help to feel like it was my future home. Many aspects of the tour made me draw nearer to choosing this college after finishing my High School career. Illinois State University seems to fit my personality very well, has an amazing program for what I want to study, and is an outstanding campus for my academic strengths and weaknesses.

The University of Texas at Austin claims that it has good justifications for its use of race in the admittance program. To provide evidence against Fisher’s claim of being unable to stand up to strict scrutiny, the University said that the Court had previously ruled that the “UT’s limited consideration or race was ‘necessary’ and narrowly tailored to UT’s compelling interest in achieving student body diversity” ("Brief of Respondents University," 2015). After Fisher’s case went to court the first time, the court was persuades that the need for having race as part of the holistic admittance program is not considered a quota because it “a search for students of unique talents and backgrounds who can enrich the diversity of the student body in distinct ways” ("Brief of Respondents University," 2015). The University conducted internal studies and was alarmed at the low rate of minorities attending classes, and is committed to improving the interracial relations by increasing diversity. The University believes that by promoting diversity it will break down long standing racial and ethnic stereotypes, as well as improving cross-racial understanding. They find that this is necessary because our society is still race conscious. Texas is in fact racially segregated within cities. I think that Santa Rosa may even have some segregation, with Roseland having a predominantly low-income Latino population the elementary schools are made up of entirely Latino children, and have poor

Eastern Illinois University is situated in small town Charleston Illinois in the Midwest region of the United States. Eastern Illinois University was originally founded in 1895 as a teacher’s college and had only a 2-year degree for training teachers for the schools of East Central Illinois, it was known as “Eastern Illinois State Normal School.” “Eastern Illinois State Normal School” had its name changed two more times before finally becoming Eastern Illinois University in 1957. Eastern Illinois University held its first classes in 1899 with 18 faculty members and 125 students. Eastern Illinois University chose its mascot the Panther in 1930 after many years of being called the Blue and Gray.

Loyola University of Maryland in the up and coming year is official welcoming an additional group of students that will participant along with class of 2021. This group of individual consist of 200 or so older adults. These adults are all over 70 years of age and are craving to be back in the classroom. The adults range from different medical backgrounds to different ages. Although this is a great campus, Loyola can make more improvements to accommodate their newest members of the Loyola community. With these new students is then must impact the dynamic of the residence halls, classrooms, support services, and everything that is given to the average aged undergrad college student. Loyola would also be able to supply the needs for the different types of aging such as normal and abnormal so everyone is given the same opportunities to excel. Changing the method Loyola has been accustomed to for years, this will create a positive image on older adults. Therefore, with Loyola allowing these individuals to attend and support their necessities, this then opens new doors to the older community and education.

There are over one thousand colleges in the U.S, but the University of Southern California is the college to attend for various reasons. USC is a well rounded school that provides a variety of clubs, activities, scholarship opportunities, and academic classes. The faculty and staff of the University of Southern California work hard to make each student that attends successful and well-prepared for the working environment in the near future.

I, Flora Ajayi, was dismissed from the Nursing program at The College of New Jersey due to my performance in Principles of Microbiology (BIO 144) and Anatomy & Physiology II (BIO 142 ), which are major Nursing prerequisites. I take responsibility for my academic progressions and understand the consequences and rewards of the Academic realm. The study habits that allowed me to flourish in high school, for example, studying class notes and reviewing a week before the exam, simply did not work in college. This forced me into a state of panic, which led me not to do well in both science classes. Studying effectively in college is different than studying in high school due to the rigor of the course and my attempt to process on a higher academic level. My inability to succeed in the sciences during my spring semester, despite my early success, has allowed for both personal growth and self-reflection while repeating BIO 144 and BIO 142.

The Leland Stanford Junior University was established in 1885 by California Senator Leland Stanford and his better half, Jane, in memory of their exclusive kid, Leland Jr., who passed on of typhoid fever at 15. After his 1884 passing, the Stanfords verified that they would utilize their riches to support "other people's" youngsters.

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.

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.

I want to attend Illinois State University so that I can learn business skills, and build a career in Accounting.   I believe that the university will help with my transition from a business student to a business professional.   The facilities provided by State Farm, and the great faculty at Illinois State University, will make my learning experience very successful.

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill opened in 1795 as the first public college in the United States. Since then, free speech and the formation of independent ideas and opinions have been seen as integral parts of a student’s educational experience. Unfortunately, through the categorization of public college campuses as designated public forums and the implementation of restrictive student conduct codes and debilitating free speech zones, universities are denying students the expression they deserve. While these policies were originally created to protect students, they are now leading to a rising number of student tensions, lawsuits, and constitutional arguments. Every university is unique in its ability to define campus

The University of Southern California promotes five pillars for all of its students to embody: faithful, scholarly, skillful, courageous, and ambitious. Of these five traits, a student’s possession of courage will take him or her on the greatest path to success. USC relates the trait “courageous” to itself by proclaiming that students “are bold when faced with opportunities to contribute to USC’s continuous efforts to build a greater university for generations to come” (“Five Traits of a Trojan”). While this is true, this boldness is not necessarily shown immediately or developed overnight. In addition, it is true that USC being courageous will benefit USC for generations to come. Nevertheless, courage will also greatly benefit the
