As a school that is a solid segue beyond my homeschooling experience in the Classical Conversations model, I am enthusiastic about the possibility of attending Hillsdale College. One of the more encouraging aspects of my inquiry into the school was discovering the Hillsdale College Mission Statement. Hillsdale is one of the few schools that stand apart from the norm of secular humanism as a driving ideology in higher education. The school’s respect for our country’s Western philosophical and theological inheritance, genuine liberal arts education, and usage of precept and example to instill Christian principles stand out as key components. As with our Founding Fathers, it respects, reveres and considers the diffusion of learning and the ability to reason soundly an essential component of higher learning and preparation for adulthood in the context of these principles.…
This is my second year at Cypress College, I am looking to major in Business Marketing. I attended two high schools during my 4-year education, Roosevelt High, and Bell Gardens High. They were both equally great but ended up transferring due to location. I currently live in Stanton, in which I plan on staying for a while longer. My future goals involve graduating from a Cal State, getting a job, which I know will be much work but really looking forward to it. Overall, I am looking forward to taking this course and learning more about music, and you…
To believe in the strength and value of community colleges is to recognize that the community school is as vital and remains purposely driven today, as when they began more than one hundred years ago- before self-driving cars, smartboards, on-line courses, etc. These community based institutions fundamentally serve as a foundation and core to the planning and building of one’s unlimited educational possibilities.…

I began working at Keeter my first semester at College of the Ozarks. On my first day of work, the supervisor handed me a gleaming gold name tag that not only had my name but the state I came from. I watched as others put their nametags on, and I quickly discovered that most of them read Missouri, Oklahoma, and Arkansas. I looked down at my nametag and felt a sense of uniqueness, knowing no one in the room had the state of Virginia. I soon began to realize that my nametag sparked curiosity when the guests saw how far I had traveled. Guest after guest would ask the same question, “How did you end up here?” I answered this question dozens of times within a day. There were days that I would begrudgingly tell the Keeter guests my journey to this College, but never once did I fail to cherish the opportunity I was given.…
I would like to provide substantial information that explains my low grade point average at George Mason University. I enrolled in George Mason University in spring of 2014 as Criminology major and earned a GPA 2.75 for my first semester.

Not to mention, I was later diagnosed with depression and needed to work full-time while juggling school. As a result of this incident my mother began to help with my son so I could focus on school. Therefore, I picked up my grades the following semester.…

The reality of my college experience is just the way I felt it would be, tons of work, tons of traveling and working to the division, can be overwhelming, Being in college gives me a since of independence and future entitlement in my career.

Each year, millions of young adults apply and attend college to pursue higher education. As they begin a new chapter in their lives, they are exposed to college fraternity/sorority parties, which lead some of these individuals to pledge to become a full-member. Unfortunately, most people have no idea what they are getting themselves into, and for some, it leads to death. This problem has been around for a long time and goes as far back as when colleges and fraternities began.…

Before going to university, I took a colorful and meaningful campus life for granted. Since there were few activities in my six-year high school days, I’ve long been expecting life in university. Now, after becoming a college student for nearly one year, I gradually realized things were not like that. If you do nothing but wait, you will not get anything.…
When I was in high school I could not wait to graduate and attend college. I was excited to finally see what this “campus life” was all about. I was also like most teenagers, and couldn’t wait to be free from my parents’ house. Immediately after graduation I kept a mental countdown till the day that I would move into my dorm. My expectations were high and I was excited to be in my new surroundings. However living on campus was a big difference than living at home and was something that would take time getting used to. I learned firsthand the pros and cons of campus living.…
(magbiya gana yitekakelal) The following day is the beginning of my adult hood life or at least that is the way I look at it. It was the day I and thousands of students were going to join the Addis Ababa University. It was a very special day for me finally I was on my own no dad or mum behind my back to tell me what to do or how to act. That night was just dreaming about the as the darkness started to be overtaken by the beautiful morning sun, I was just lying in my bed listening to the birds singing and imaging what’s going to happen.…
Time is money. This phrase used by Benjamin Franklin is usually true in our daily life, and campus life is no exception. Especially in the United States, tuition fees for public university also cost a lot. At the University of Alabama, undergraduate non-residents have to pay 11,475 dollars per semester, while enrolled hours are between 12 and 16 (Undergraduate Campus Student Tuition). Of course, students have to pay additional fees if they want to learn more credits in one semester. Classes last from January 9th to April 26th in spring 2013 in the UA, even though let us separate tuition fees in four months, students still have to pay almost 3,000 dollars per month, which is 100 dollars per day. Based on the data above, we need to make our campus life deserve such an expensive tuition. What kind of campus life is valuable? In my opinion, valuable campus life should consist of three elements, which are studying well, doing more reading and keeping healthy.…
