To be truthful, for me it all comes down to making more money. Unfortunately, it seems that in most cases you have to spend money to make money.

    Another similarity is that the quality of the courses offered. All colleges have to live up to the prescribed standards and have to meet certain expectations, given by the Board of Education. With that being said, both colleges will have to show an acceptable level of quality to the students and other professors. For example, if a student majors in Philosophy, whether it is at BCC, Towson or Duke, he or she will still get the same value of education. You may learn a different technique at one, than the other, but generally the quality of work is the same.…

    In order to select the right college, I should evaluate each school on the factors that are most important to me. First, I would factor in the distance. In my case, the farther away I am from home, the better. Second, I would examine the price. As an aspiring surgeon, I plan on attending medical school. Because of this, I want to be sure I don’t spend too much money on my bachelor’s degree. Next, I would factor in the college’s reputation. Elite, highly ranked universities that provide great academics are ideal. Finally, the campus as a whole would be evaluated, from aesthetic qualities to available amenities.…

    Duke University I believe is the best institute for me to follow my dreams of becoming an engineer. I came to know about Duke a long time ago while watching NCAA basketball. When I began my college research however, I was really surprised to find out how much more Duke was than just a school with a great basketball team. What else can I ask for from a university that already offers a topnotch academic program, outstanding athletic facilities and a reputedly memorable college experience? It has the perfect combination of a student body that is extremely competitive academically and people who like to live life and enjoy themselves. At Duke I hope to get involved in student clubs and organizations such as 'Crazies who Care' and 'Duke…
