A Worn Path Research Paper

Honestly, I am an undergrad student at MCPHS-Boston, and to tell you the truth, unless you are naturally intelligent, and/or willing to make big sacrifices and go through hard struggles, this college is not for you. I am not telling you this because I am not a hard working, unmotivated, or lazy student, who is angry at the school for receiving bad grades. It is more because I have experienced this school and have found out many things that would have made me not come here in the first place had I known before. The main thing that comes to mind here is that this school is ALL ABOUT YOUR MONEY. Which is why they have such a high acceptance rate. You can spend the same amount of money at any other school, for the same degree, and the quality of education, and your overall college experience will be a lot better. During the open houses and tours, this school does an amazing job of convincing you to come to this school. Although small, this school LOOKS beautiful. That all changes when you actually have to use their facilities. …show more content…
Since the acceptance rate is so large, the halls, public areas, and classrooms get very crowded. You WILL NOT experience the same type of FACULTY TO STUDENT RATIO as you would with OTHER SMALL schools. The school gives you designated tour times. These times are WHEN MOST STUDENTS ARE IN CLASS, so you assume that there are not that many students, this is most prevalent when trying to get assistance for your classes. If you plan on being tutored, you should sign up for one before the semester starts. Once the semester begins, there will already be a long list, and you will have to wait for a long time (sometimes till mid semester) until they get back to you. I have personally experienced this. This means two things, the school allows to many students into the school, and cannot accommodate everyone who needs help, and that this school is about QUANTITY NOT QUALITY. Your education, your future, is put into their hands when you decide to come here. Again if you are the type of person who likes to read, like to teach THEMSELVES material, such as chemistry and biology, then this school is for you. But if you feel that you are going to need assistance for anything, then CONSIDER ANOTHER SCHOOL. You should really read what everyone who rates this school says. Yes, they maybe from angry students, but do not forget they are students, and being a student here and living here really, sadly, I agree with most if not everything that everyone who gives the school a negative rating. I came to this school thinking that they're just mad because they failed, and that's not going to happen to me. You sacrifice your social life, and personal life for this school, IN BIG WAYS. Being in Boston does not mean anything when you are at this school. You are always studying for exams and writing papers that are ALWAYS BACK TO BACK. It is very rare to be able to have a night to just yourself and to relax and have "you" time, even on weekends. Again, if you can handle studying and writing papers every night, and weekend, you will do fine at this school. Me personally, have found it difficult to do well due to how fast paced and rushed I feel the courses are here. I feel overwhelmed due to the fact that there is a lot of information, and assignments to do, for every class, and due very often. It becomes difficult to actually retain and understand the information, and usually it is more memorization than actually understanding the concepts. Students usually tend to have low averages, especially for freshmen students. Another thing I feel that really shows that this school is all about your money is that THEY DO NOT OFFER CERTAIN CORE CLASSES during the summer, specifically speaking General chemistry. General Chemistry is a difficult class, and much more difficult to understand at this school. THEY DO NOT OFFER GENERAL CHEMISTRY DURING THE SUMMER HERE AT MCPHS-BOSTON(not sure if they do at other places). Having said this, if you fail
