I am currently attending Brooklyn College; my major is biology and planning to do minor in psychology.

Some classes’ size is small where you can get to know your professor very well. I found the environment around there very comfortable, because for me to study, I need to have a comfortable place so I can concentrate my study. When I transfer to Brooklyn College, I didn’t have hard time to transfer my all credit from my previously college. I took a lot of interesting courses with great professors where I have received a great amount of knowledge. The professors know about their fields and are very dedicated toward their teaching which helps the students to do well in class. Professor always has appointment available or go straight to their office if you want to speak to them about anything relating to the course. The academic advisor is always available for to advise students anything that is related to the courses they need to take. There is always a walk-in session for the students and can also set up an appointment. However, there are always interesting clubs for the students to attend during their free time. There is also internship program, and students can also do work study during the semester. Brooklyn College also offers volunteering opportunity

College professors are much different than high school teachers in several ways. In college, professors do not constantly remind students when assignments are due. They expect students to know when their assignments are due, and most professors do not accept late assignments.…

    I believe the quality of education I would receive in Georgetown University will be outstanding because of its diverse academic course offering such as interdisciplinary classes like Race, Law and Literature.

Accessible location in the capital will also lead me to numerous great internship opportunities that will help…

    Honestly, I am an undergrad student at MCPHS-Boston, and to tell you the truth, unless you are naturally intelligent, and/or willing to make big sacrifices and go through hard struggles, this college is not for you. I am not telling you this because I am not a hard working, unmotivated, or lazy student, who is angry at the school for receiving bad grades. It is more because I have experienced this school and have found out many things that would have made me not come here in the first place had I known before. The main thing that comes to mind here is that this school is ALL ABOUT YOUR MONEY. Which is why they have such a high acceptance rate.…

    My College Decision

    No matter how much we overthink a situation before making a decision and even make the “right” one, we never have the absolute certainty that the other choice was “wrong”. We don 't get to live the choice we have not made, but we can ponder and imagine how our life would have been if we had made the decision that in the past we thought it was the “wrong” one. Attending a community college instead of a four-year university was not a simple decision, it 's also the first major decision I ever had to make for myself. Most people don 't really see it as a complicated decision, either way, you 're getting an education and a degree in the same amount of time. For me this was something bigger, I have always wanted to attend a University, it had been…
