Sarah Lawrence College

Improved Essays
I always admire Confucius’ enlightening ideas and his methods of education, especially for “teaching students according to their aptitude.” I think it’s the best way for a teacher to fully inspire his students and fulfill their potential because every one is regarded as an individual with distinct learning style. From the seminar-conference courses to the donning system, I could feel that Sarah Lawrence College indeed respects its students and cares about them since all of them are given equal opportunities to ask questions or express their own thoughts to their faculties personally.

For me, I’ve been looking for this kind of academically close attention so that my voice could be heard and echoed. I know only liberal arts colleges may provide me with this mutual education.

That’s how liberal arts colleges, or more specifically, Sarah Lawrence College draws my attention and gets over me. Most importantly, I found out that one of the best courses in Sarah Lawrence College is creative writing. And I love writing. I desire to record exactly what those fantasies are in me though sometimes I overuse some words. I believe it’ll be a incredible experience for me to learn how to write in English and blend various ideas into one article.

Beside all the academic advantages above, the suburban location of Sarah Lawrence College makes me comfortable as well. It’s away from the city but not very far from it. When I’m done with the silence inside of me and need to have some fun, I can just take the train to museums or somewhere else.

I can image that after a long day of hard work, I walk to the conference and talk about my work to my professor for some advise. Then I just hop on a train to the city. Isn’t it wonderful? Anyway, I’d love to stop imaging and go check myself in Sarah Lawrence

    The true definition of the term 'naysayer' is a person who habitually expresses negative or pessimistic views. This is the way that Caroline Bird looks at college in her essay titled "College is Waste of Time and Money". In this article Bird is very strong willed when stating her opinion about college. She tells her readers that the real reason young adults go to college is because "College is a pleasant place to be; because it's the only way they can get parents or taxpayers to support them without working at a job they don't like; because mother wanted them to go, or some other reason entirely irrelevant to the course of studies for which college is supposedly organized" (247). Bird explains to her readers in a very pessimistic way that going to college to get an education has become very uncommon.…

    Writer Marc Edelman made the point to say that college athletes are basically employees of these colleges. They put in just as much hours if not more than a full time worker. Edelman writes that “Although the NCAA claims college athletes are just students, the NCAA’s own tournament schedules require college athletes to miss classes for nationally televised games that bring in revenue.” Another good point that he brings up is that March Madness affects more than six days of classes. How can the NCAA say these kids are just students when they are requiring them to do things that brings in profit for the NCAA?…

    Ungar and his Liberal Arts Degree Sanford J. Ungar, the writer of “The New Liberal Arts”, argues that a liberal arts degree isn’t as questionable of a decision as believed to be. He trusts that a smaller independent college is a much more intimate setting where students continue learning habits that only better their mentality in terms of education and personality and will stick with them throughout the rest of their lives. More specifically Ungar believes that attending a liberal arts school provides as close connection with faculty and a chance for young adults to learn responsibilities while getting an education at the same time, just to name a few (Ungar 232). Overall, Ungar goes about his argument in a very unique and organized manner…

    I am writing you this letter to discuss the topics of liberal arts and vocation. These two topics are often talked about in academic institutions, but many of these institutions do not go any further than bringing it up; they do not take action on these topics, they simply talk about them. Here at Wheaton, these are central aspects of my education. We are conscious of these things and we strive to understand them as students. I am aware that you do not attend a liberal arts college which is why I wanted to inform you about the importance of a liberal arts education and how it affects one’s vocation.…

    This semester of class in Religion 275 has genuinely challenged me, pushed me to think and learn in a more intellectual manner, and has helped me grow as a debater and as a writer. We’ve wrestled with the wide variety of topics in Gadamer’s Truth and Method, we’ve talked about culture and diversity with Voltaire, we’ve dissected the idea of enlightenment with Hume and Kant, and we’ve touched on religion and the value of a liberal education in our last few texts. However, the topic that I have wrestled with the most this semester is the idea of a liberal education, and its relationship to the Gadamerian concepts of Bildung, Erfahrung, and spiel. As a student at one of the top liberal arts schools in the country, it is almost a necessity that I believe in the power of a liberal education. Personally, I’ve always believed that an educated person should be intellectually well-rounded, with an open mind that can lead to effective problem solving in a variety of worldly issues.…

    To the Members of the Portfolio Committee, When I came to Spelman, I was an English major who lacked confidence in my writing and my intelligence at times. I knew the basics of writing, but not the dynamics. I could write a wonderful essay, but it would lack emotion and true depth. Spelman helped to change my confidence and made me the writer I am today. Reflecting back on my senior year, I was hesitant to become an English major.…

    In the article “Only Connect…”, William Cronon writes about the qualities gained through a liberal arts education. Cronon (1998) believed, that best type of education, is based off “nurturing human talents to expand the amount of freedom”, experienced in a society (p. 1). Even though not many people really understand how a liberal arts education work, it instills values that make effective leaders. Liberal education has changed quite a lot throughout history. This education was once solely for aristocrat males that focus on bettering themselves, to separate themselves from the population.…

    I leaped into my college career by smoothly transitioning from high school to college with the Bridge Program. During this program, the IUPUI staff gave brief introductions and lessons on what was generally expected in college. The English portion of this program reassured me that my AP English classes that I took in high school had prepared me well enough for college writing. However, I was still a little unsure exactly how much writing was expected due to the fluctuation in course experience due to professor variance. However, after attending the first couple of classes I was once again reassured that I was prepared for this basic English class.…
