Going To College Research Paper

Decent Essays
I do not understand how or why any student would question if they are going to go to college or not. I know there are many factors that play a big part in why students may not be able to attend college for example, the outrageous tuition rate but there is government assistance to help or family issues can be a problem also. But if a person attended any type of schooling they should be looking forward to going to college to better their future not questioning are they going to go to college. From personal experience I never questioned whether or not I was go to college or not. I always just questioned where I was going to college, not if I was going to go? I’ve always thought people thought it was just a natural next step in life after high

A Liberal Arts University is a college that offers a broad range of subjects including math, science, history, philosophy, languages, and literature. Many non-liberal arts universities only offer your basics then your straight into your major specific classes. One thing I believe is the best thing about getting a liberal arts education is you have to take a little bit of every subject.…

    College Writing And Reading For The Incoming Freshman The transition between High School and University writing can be challenging to the ill-prepared student. In high school we might have gotten great feedback from teachers about our work: “great job”, “very good” etc, but in college our professors might comment differently most likely because they are searching for something different in college writing. Most often because professors expect a different style of writing than that of a high school class, such as a more developed opinion on the subject rather than a summary of what you researched. The most significant differences are visible in structure, research, argument, and format. In college writing, we move away from the standard…

    The mind is a garden that requires cultivation, and that is why I aspire to attend a liberal arts college. I fervently believe that liberal arts colleges teach people how to think because they require their students to take courses outside of their intended major. I want to be in an environment that pushes me to think conceptually and without censor. For most of my high school career, it has also been my dream to experience life outside of North Carolina. I have ventured out of North Carolina three times, two of which I was accompanied by familiar faces, but last October I was awarded a travel scholarship to visit Brandeis University just outside of Boston.…
