During my college years it is crucial that I keep a close eye on my bank statements and maintain my time management effectively if I want to be included in the numbers of students who succeed.

    College Should Be Free Bob Samuels in his article claims that all public higher education should be free, and the policy even could save money for our country.

If many students go to colleges, fewer people would be unemployed and in need of governmental assistance, therefore our government can save more money for other needed services. What’s more is that Samuels thinks…

    For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to attend North Dakota State University. My dad and sister are NDSU alumni, so furthering my education where they did provides us with a unique bond.

Although I know the next seven years are going to be challenging, extremely strenuous, and will push me to the edge of my comfort zone, the satisfaction of administering medical services to those who need them will make it worthwhile.
