    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…

    The early admissions application is due on October fifteenth while the final applications are accepted on the fifteenth of January. The University of Georgia is a large, public, coed university with a slightly smaller cost than the University of Michigan or the University of Maryland; for an out of state student, a semester at UGA costs about 19,546. However, the University of Georgia provides three college credits for students earning a four on the AP English Literature and Composition exam and six college credits for those who earn a five on the exam, allowing students to save a couple hundred dollars for doing well in high school. I am not sure what draws me to the University of Georgia. I have no connections to friends or family in Georgia, I do not know anyone that attends the university, nor have I ever visited the state of Georgia, but maybe that is what attracts me to UGA; for once in my life I will not be able to plan everything going on around me and maybe subconsciously that excites…
