Seton Hall Professional Benefits

The main problem that we plan to run into is funding. Seton Hall already provides a

smaller and not as well put together commuter lounge. We suppose it will be difficult to convince them that a new and improved lounge is a smart use of their money. This problem will be tackled with simple statistics. Currently commuters make up about 35% of the population here at Seton Hall which means their is a definite need to please these students who make up such a large part of the school's population. The next point that will be brought up is how little the current lounge is used and the want for a new lounge that we will show through the use of surveys and a potential petition that we will bring to the university heads. As we dig deeper we can clearly illustrate that the investment in a new lounge will improve the University and make the students much happier. This in turn will keep more commuter students on campus to attend events and feel a bigger sense of school pride that is lacking in most commuters. Another benefit will

With the addition of a microwave, fridge, and new couches, commuters can use the lounge to take a nap, grab a bite to eat, or simply just rest their mind in between classes. As we combined our experience with that of other fellow commuters at Seton Hall it became clear how time consuming commuting can be, which can have a negative effect on a student’s performance. We believe that by adding more computers, printers, study areas, and charging stations, commuting students will have a more convenient way to access and complete their school work which in turn can reduce stress and increase performance. This can also be useful for groups working on projects together, as the additional study areas can be more accommodating than what the current lounge

    The tedious amounts of work and the little amount of time to complete projects before their presentations. I am also reminded of the nightwalks, the twenty minute walk from my dorm to the building. In this room I associate the quiet deserted campus I went through at all hours of the night. Not only the long nights but the days as well the three hour class twice a week for an entire semester. Happiness would come when the time came to place my work in the room and explain what I had done for so many hours as everyone gazed at it with their own interpretations and…

    “Consider how deeply this issue intrudes into the life of the college, how it effects the college even in unexpected ways”( Lascell). In 1996, Grove City College withdrew from federal student loan programs and instead, created its own system. Because of the Grove City College versus Bell court case, the college is no longer able to offer some of the opportunities to incoming students that they once could. However, since then, Grove City College has been known for their exceptional effort and withstanding to the community. There are over 3,000 colleges in the United States, many being community colleges, city colleges, junior colleges, state universities, and several more (Cohen).…

    Hartzog: Documentary Pitch 1. This documentary will be about the lives of commuter students and working students at UNO.

I will interview a few different students who commute and get their opinions on the matter. We will discuss how long it takes to get to class, if they have ever had a problem getting to class on time, and if the amount they spend on gas is worth it.…

    The Issue Regarding 348 Ride Many parents have been coaxed by the university into believing that students always will have a safe way to get home after a long night at the library or a night spent on the strip. Little do they know, 348 Ride which is supposed to be a reliable source of transportation isn’t the slightest bit reliable. Students get hung up on, yelled at or flat out ignored by these drivers hired by the university to come pick students up and get them to where they need to be. As more students ride 348-RIDE, more complaints arise about the safe ride that they are promised.…

    1) What are some of the things ( behaviours) that you did or didn't do this week that kept you in your integrity? On my first week of school, I was speaking to a classmate and discovered she lived in the relative area to me, yet her commute was far longer. After some consideration, I decided to offer her a carpool agreement to the subway in the mornings, and to her house in the evenings. Rather than Lhara take a total of four busses every morning, I have added 15 minutes to my commute but taken an hour off hers.…

    Constant battles for a student’s time and attention from multiple classes, clubs, sports, and activities create a challenging environment. What is the answer when there are only twenty-four hours in a day? Multitasking. While juggling multiple projects and assignments, respectively with separate deadlines and due dates, “getting a complete task done in the least amount of time is no longer the priority” (Doc B).

    UMass Lowell is a public institution where scholars, coming from all kinds of locations, can practice their education to their advantage to study for the career they wish to pursue. Whether students live on campus or commute to the campus on a daily basis, they recognize that it can be reasonable to access and travel to no matter where they come from. While most students live in a residence hall on campus, others can commute from their hometowns, using any form of transportation they can identify. Students that commute to school from Boston have simple options concerning travel to and from school, including driving in the traffic-congested Interstate highways, and riding a train on the hour-long Lowell Line, a commuter rail system that the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority operates.

    Between 11:09 AM and 12:12 PM, the brightly lit, eight-tile hallways of Center High School are littered with students sitting cross-legged while a pair of white, Apple headphones protrude from their ears. In addition, the student’s faces almost look as if the grim reaper has stolen their soul and locked it in a gloomy closet only to be released after 12:12 PM. Students have always plagued the CHS hallways; however, the number has increased dramatically this school year. CHS students simply lack engagement during flex lunch. The disappearance of clubs, or the lack thereof, is one factor that considerably hinders student involvement during flex lunch.…

    Not everyone who attends college are successful at completing the courses needed to graduate. For many reasons, college students are forced to drop out willingly, are withdrawn by administration, or simply lose interest in furthering their education. However, the college students who complete college successfully and make it to graduation share some habits that make the odds of being successful work in their favor. Many college students succeed because they make it a priority to attend and involve themselves in class sessions regularly, take control of their education, and nurture relationships with the instructors on their school campus. One of the most important causes of being a successful college student is actually attending class sessions regularly.…

    Several studies show that the most valuable and important time commitment in a course was the time actually spent in the classroom.(Schiming) Some other valuable and important time commitments included the time spent in discussion sections that complemented the lectures, and the time spent studying outside of class preparing for the class itself.(Schiming) That study concluded that the most productive time spent in any course was in the classroom; and that time had the greatest positive impact on the students’ performance. Another study of similar motives was taken on the most significant activities the impacted the students’ performance in any given course. The results of that study showed the idea that the most important learning takes place in the classroom and that students who do a conscientious job on a daily basis preparing for and participating in class perform better than students who skip class and try to cram for exams.(Schiming)…
