If one would go around and ask the constituents of College of Dupage about their biggest issue on campus some would complain about the cafeteria food chains, the educational policies but the one complaint you would hear the most would be parking. Every year there are about 28,000 students who enroll, meaning they all attend by either riding the bus or driving. Majority of them drive, considering the fact that they are also new drivers who enjoy their newfound freedom. Since that is the case most students can't find parking, therefore they look to other options such as taking the bus,carpooling, or even scheduling classes later on in the day. Most would say the best solution would be to build a bigger parking lot or parking garage, which is…
Complications at Barton Community College There are many problems at Barton Community College. Government officials and the president of Barton Community College can help solve some of the problems by attempting to make sure college students graduate so there are no longer low completion rates, shutting down remedial classes because this is a college and students should no longer be taking high school level classes, wi-fi access, and adding more work hours for student employees. Government officials and the president of Barton can help more students graduate by making sure students stay focused, explaining to students what requirements, they must meet in order to graduate, and giving students strategies and support to improve their academic…

While researching Prairie State college, a two year, suburban community college that was founded in 1957; I came across some concerning information. According to the statistics provided by Collegescorecard.ed.gov, Prairie State College consistently ranks lower than the national median. For instance, only 40 percent of P.S.C’s students return after their first year of attending this is significantly lower than the national median by 69 percent. In addition to the institution having a graduation rate of 15 percent, the average salary after attending prairie state college is an alarming amount of 29,200 dollars. After reading this I began to question Prairie State’s productivity since the U.S. Census Bureau reported the national median in 2013…
Ballyfermot College is constantly in evolution and there are now many new opportunities since legislative change in July 2012. Over the years since its inauguration in the early 80s the College has managed to meet many of the needs of both learners and industry alike. Future pedagogic development will inevitably put greater emphasis on ICTs and VLEs. It is imperative that the task of working with these new technologies is encouraged and implemented immediately.…
Meet Jozina Campbell. She’s a high achiever finishing her years in high school, and she joined the Gateway program for successful, college-bound African-American and Hispanic students. To Jozina, Gateway was an opportunity to seize—the first step onto the path that would take her to success. But it took up a lot of time from the things she enjoyed most, like her academics or her leadership roles in the community. The speakers at the program told Jozina everything she should do to get ready for college: develop a list of potential colleges and universities, take the SAT or ACT or both, apply to the colleges Early Action or Early Decision, and then make sure you take every scholarship opportunity you can.…
At Cal Poly Pomona’s campus specifically, there are a lot of problem that need change. For example, there is a lack of parking, the school wastes too much water, and the text books and foods are overpriced. For me, the biggest issue I have within the campus is the pricing of the food in cafeteria. There are a lot of students like me within the campus who have financial difficulty. Thus, they have to be careful with their spending.…
Within the residence halls of Hastings, college hundreds of students use the same washing & drying machines in every dorm. Within the majority of each dorm, they consist of three washers and three dryers for every student within the dorm. I have noticed within the past five weeks that I have been on this campus that many current and former residents of the halls have been complaining about the washers and dryers. All of them have complained and said that they can never get their laundry done in a good amount of time; because the machines keep running for long periods of time. After experiencing this and even though it is really nice that we don't have to pay for laundry, I believe that there is a problem at Hastings College in that…
Do You Enjoy Saint Joseph’s College? For our final project in Business Statistics, we chose to pose the question, “What affects one’s enjoyment of Saint Joseph’s College?” In other words, are there direct correlations between things like gender and school year and one’s enjoyment of SJC? We though perhaps one’s gender might affect how much they enjoyed SJC – perhaps females enjoyed their time at this institution more than males.…
