Title of Your Report
I wish this could have been about Berkley or even Caltech two colleges that I’m really interested in because of their physics programs. However, since they were so far away, and my dad didn’t want to take me, I decided to pick something close, Fresno City College. I know that I will be going to a community college, and will be then transferring somewhere else, hopefully, Berkley. This is the third time that I've visited Fresno City College, and each time I’m taken back by the size. On another occasion, I visited Cal Poly, as a club trip, and that place was also huge. I was considering writing about Cal Poly, but I don’t think that I will go there, as much as I love engineering, I want to be a physicist. Anyway, back to

This time, when I went I was more vigilant and paid more attention than before. To me, there was nothing that impressive about it. It may have that after seeing Cal Poly FCC just didn't seem up to par. As I walked around FCC's campus one thing that I noticed was just the variety of people. There was so much diversity, and I really liked that. Having people of different backgrounds and ethnicities provides us with unique perspectives that would be valuable in a learning environment. As I passed people by I overheard them talking about their courses and their plans. They were thinking ahead and being responsible, and I realized that was going to be me in a few years so I better start getting my life together. I walked into the library and it was a huge place for everyone to study and complete their assignments. The library was the one thing that stood out to me the most maybe it's because I just loved seeing so many books or that it seemed like a great place to learn or just the architecture of it. I kept going around passing some buildings Music and Arts, stuff that I’m not really into. There was building for Applied Technology, actually a whole lot of them. In there were students discussing ideas and working on computers. They looked

    On Thursday, October 12th, I took the opportunity to help at the Agua Caliente Casino’s College Fair event, with the intention that I would also see the schools I intend to apply. While at the event, I saw many colleges and universities with their luring stands’ free candies, pens, and informational brochures. Overall, the schools all had something great to offer; whether it was the small class sizes or amazing student abroad programs. Although universities from as far as Hawaii to Oregon may have grabbed my attention – because of its stunning scenery and programs – I restricted my preferences to California schools. In particular, my eyes lit up when I saw UC Irvine, UC Riverside, CSU Channel Islands, – given that I’ve seen some of these see…

    “I know applying to colleges is the last thing you want to do right now, but you might change your mind,” a trusted friend told me. It was December of my senior year of high school, and college application deadlines were approaching quickly. I was recovering from a major illness at the time, and wasn’t ready to think about college. My plan was to spend a year living at home and working before I pursued higher education. In the following months, my recovery progressed rapidly.…

    Come spring of senior year and many seniors are faced with a tough decision whether they should attend community college or a four year university. When choosing between colleges people should be looking at the colleges that suit them academically, personally, and financially. According to the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office, with more than 2.1 million students on 113 campuses, the California Community College is the largest system of higher education and it’s growing more and more each year.

    At the corner of Walker St. and Crescent St., across the road from Walker Jr. High School, passed La Palma Hospital, lies the largest campus of Anaheim Union High School District, John F. Kennedy (JFK) High School. From the parking lot into the school, I see Kennedy ’s quote, painted on the edge of the entrance, stating, “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” Many other quotes by graduating classes were painted on the edge of the hallway overheads with the year underneath and all meant to inspire people. Tall, lush trees provide shade, protecting me from sunshine and heat of the afternoon sunlight.…

    I have been enrolled at Copiah-Lincoln Community College for less than four months and am the first in my family to go to college. While these circumstances may lead some to repudiate my authority on the matter, I can assure all that the time I've had has been more than enough to create a proper review. Campus life is one area that has defined my experience attending a college. Co-Lin does not have the most alluring campus I have ever visited and, unfortunately, becoming lost is in no way challenging. Until recently, I have unintentionally made a habit of passing my classroom at least twice before realizing where I was.…
