Wright State University Research Paper

College is such a huge turning point in anyone's life. For me, it has been very tough to choose what college and what major I want to do for the rest of my life. Business management is going to be my choice of major and there are many different colleges that offer that major. It has come down to Wright State University and the University of Cincinnati. Both colleges have different costs, activities, locations, and offerings. After thinking about both colleges, I plan to attend Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio. Both colleges have a different cost to get in. Wright State and UC both have different costs in their college. Wright State is on average for an Ohio student $19, 434 while UC is on average $16,000 for an Ohio student. Clearly there is a difference in costs in those two colleges but it isn’t a whole lot. If I were an out of state student, I would be paying around $27,000 to live on campus at Wright State while I would pay around $29,000 to live on campus at University of Cincinnati. You can clearly tell the difference between both colleges whether you’re living in state or out of state. Since I don’t have much money, I would most likely need to apply for Financial Aid at my college. I know that should be avoided if possible, but I hope that the college I choose will get me a good job so I can pay it off when I’m older. I plan to save around $350 each paycheck I get and by the end of August I will have saved around $7,000 which should be a good start to paying for my college. Even though Wright State is a little more pricey, I still plan to go there because of the variety of majors they offer. Wright State and UC both offer a wide arrangement of majors. Since I am looking at majoring in business management, both colleges offer excellent classes for business management. Both Wright State and UC have a top ten Business Management program in the state of Ohio. Other than business management, both colleges still offer excellent majors. University of Cincinnati is ranked a respected third in the nation in Criminology. The Princeton Review described Wright State University of being “Best in Business” for the fifth straight year in a row. Other sources are saying that Wright State is a “Military Friendly” school and they recommend people …show more content…
Another factor in choosing my college was location. Location wise, Wright State is a little more closer to Findlay than what UC is. Wright State is about an hour and a half drive while UC is around a 2 and a half hour drive. Wright State and UC have a different variety of activities. I saw that a lot of popular singers and writers do a live performance on both campuses. Both campuses offer multiple family weekend events. This is when a student will invite his or her family over and they get to stay the day together without the interruption of classes or sporting events. Something as small as this could make a big impact to students, especially if they are homesick. A popular event for Wright State is a Halloween event this October. This is when all the students meet at the Student Center and they play games, give out candy, and get to meet up with new people and talk. Each college had their own activities, but I believe Wright State’s were more suitable for
