University of Washington VS. Washington State University

As a community college student wanting to transfer to a university upon completion of my Associates Degree, I have started to look at different campuses. Naturally, once I began researching the schools I wanted to attend, I had to take many different factors into consideration. Some of those factors are: Location, culture, veteran preference and specific programs for my major. I already know that I will be attending a university in the state of Washington. It has always been my dream to head back up to the Pacific Northwest, and what better way to do that than by furthering my education. I also already know what my major is: Meteorology. After many different sessions, I have narrowed the choice down to two universities. I will be comparing these two institutions, The University of Washington and Washington State University, and which one will satisfy all of my needs.

The University of Washington has three different campuses in Seattle, Tacoma, and Bothell, all of which are located in Western Washington. When I move back to Washington, I will be staying with old friends who will be able to help me get back on my feet. All three of these cities are within close proximity to where I will be living at, which is absolutely ideal. UW has a specific atmospheric sciences department for those interested in pursuing a meteorology career. It provides students, both current and future, with a list of specific courses that they need to obtain while at the university in order to be successful in this field. They offer degree plans, core coursework, how to declare this specific major, and listings of other environmental departments at the University… just incase this particular field doesn't seem to bode well. It provides the coursework for career entry into the National Weather Service, military forecasting careers, and graduate school in various

    I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Healthcare Management from Southern Illinois University. My reasoning for choosing Grand Canyon University for my graduate studies was because of economic and Christian values.

    Segregation occurs within the African American race and also towards African Americans by society. Sometimes in life you can be segregated by your own race. Or maybe the outsiders see it as you being an “other” just because you have different opinions about certain things that they feel is right or wrong. Being the black sheep of a crowd within your very own kind is never a good feeling. In my own personal experience of life, I am always the other out of every group of black people which is my race. Various times I am embarrassed for the way the engage their ignorance into their actions and words. I am a black woman of intelligence and perseverance. I do not tolerate any type of foolery of people’s stupidity to make myself fit in with that particular crowd. I attend the University of Tennessee at Martin, a predominantly white school, where I am always overlooked by my words due to dominant opinions already made about us black folk. However, there was a very heated situation that happened recently that almost lead out of control. The night of the election really took a turn for the worse on campus. Needless to say that since there was a black man versus a white man running for presidency, there were lots of racist actions shown and racist words thrown. This situation made me feel very nervous and uncomfortable because I knew how the turnout would be. Once Barack Obama was announced as president again… things on campus got a bit out of hand. Almost all the black students were outside in the parking lot acting like wild monkeys. Yes I understand they were happy and all, but it shouldn’t have been that ridiculous. There were several white students hanging out windows bellowing racist remarks and insults. Once they started throwing out those dirty words, I felt sick to my stomach. Disgusted and irritated just by the sound of the word “Nigger”! Black students that…

    I would like to transfer once I get my associate degree at a community college because I feel I am ready to move forward with my education. I currently am enrolled at Cabrillo Community College, which is, for the most part, a transfer prep college. Community College has prepared me to study at a University and I hope to continue my studies as far as I can go. As I grew up, I was interested in a wide range of subjects and never found one thing I was truly passionate about. When I started at community college, I was set on a computer science major because I knew I was computer proficient and enjoyed spending my free time figuring out programs. I struggled a great deal in the major. As I realized that I was not passionate about programming, I…

    My time spent at DePauw has provided me with an extensive array of courses that have allowed me to learn the big picture of the environment but also the specifics and focus on certain subjects such as, Igneous Petrology, Earthquakes and Volcanoes, Geophysics, and Historical Geology. Not only have I taken many courses within the geology department at DePauw but I have also taken a wide assortment outside of the department as well, ranging from calculus to a seminar on runaway slaves. The liberal arts degree that I will receive from DePauw has allowed me to become a well-rounded student, and always think inquisitively on the subject at hand. As an undergraduate I have also had the opportunity to conduct summer research twice, once with a professor in the Department and once with the National Science…

    When applying to college, students take into consideration three important aspects; the cost, the ranking, and the campus. Universities spend an immense amount of money on their campuses to make them attractive for scholars, but that does not correlate to having a great education. Having a good community is a hard task for colleges, but Florida Institute of Technology (FIT) makes it look easy. Even though the campus into FIT is not huge like other universities, they did great work on creating a safe yet fun community. However, every college has pros and cons on their campuses, and Florida Tech is not an exception. Throughout my freshman year, I have encountered several problems which cause students to spend more money and feel more stress while living on campus. In addition, I determined several options to solve these problems; tents over bike stands, parking lots away from sprinklers, and more green areas…
