Barnard College

Macomb Community College and Barnard College have two very different websites, yet they share a few distinct similarities. Like most college websites, the sites of Barnard and Macomb both have information about their schools. They share information regarding their campuses, their student body and faculty, and what kind of college they are. They both also have places on their websites to find information regarding financial aid and assistance, as well as how to apply for their school. Material can be located on each website that tells about news and events coming up in the community. Each site has a course catalog, as well as information about services available to students who attend their school. While Macomb and Barnard have similarities in their websites, they have many noticeable differences as well. One difference being that Barnard’s website has much more information about their students. Barnard talks about their students in a very positive light, while Macomb has more information about the school itself. Another main difference between the two is that Macomb Community College’s website talks often about the community, while…

It was around that time in the afternoon when you realized your day is not going to be productive because you woke up an hour ago, but you try anyway. I was starving, but my roommate had told me about a brunch place in Harlem called Kitchenette, perfect for my two thirty brunch. For some reason, the subway was far more crowded than usual. People were stacked together, awkwardly touching each other. And, I start to regret trying to the trip to 125th Street. I finally reach 125th Street. The…

Both translations state it quite eloquently, yet in different ways. One describes her as “forgetting love due her own blood,” and the other saying “not for her children nor her dear parents had she a thought, no” (Barnard 12-13; Carson 9-10). Sappho’s frustration with Helen seeps through in her language. The audience is also astounded by this thought. Yet, the reference to Helen proves Sappho’s thesis-as she said so initially. Helen, although she knew it would cause a war, pursued the most…

In the essay “College”, the author Anzia Yezierska tells us about her first year’s college experience. While I was reading her story, I recalled my journey from India to the United States. I packed my entire luggage a week early and was eagerly waiting for the day just like Yezierska. When that day came, I felt homesick as I would have to stay away from my family, parents and relatives. As it was my first flight journey I was so thrilled and mesmerized. I got a window seat and peeped through my…

lived in women's hostel with Lori helping with rent, and then later moved to an apartment of her own in the South Bronx. She also earned an internship at ‘The Phoenix’, a weekly newspaper, where she worked ninety ­hour weeks, hurried off to interviews, and stayed up until four a.m. working (Walls 252). She later convinced Brian to come to New York after his junior year, as she had done, and also decided to give up working at ‘The Phoenix’ to go to college at Barnard. Jeannette was then hired as…

a public school environment? Before the availability of public education in America was made, there was only private education. In the 19th century a structured, well regulated network of public education did become tangible until the mid 1800s. The first schools established in the late 18th and early 19th century were mostly were religious, and many of the influences came from the Roman Catholic Church or other religious groups. Males learned core curriculum such as reading, math, and writing.…

The Day I Choose LCC Have you ever thought about what college you would attend and how successful you would be? Well I have, as child I would imagine what college I would attend and would I be able to succeed.

children to work hard, do well, and earn a college degree, then they will get a job. Many would argue that this philosophy helped the older generation be successful in their educational and post-educational careers, so it should not be changed; however, in the words of Ken Burns, “the problem is that the current system of education was designed…

Up program was introduced, I had a fair idea of what I was intending to study, but I remained unsure and had made no further necessary decisions about my post-secondary education. The reason I had not even thought about what university I wanted to go to or what career I wanted to pursue was due to a lack of resources and guidance. My parents, although always supportive of me, were limited as to what they could help me with when it came to making academic decisions beyond high school as they had…

Many say that American high schools teach students to learn how to take standardized tests on writing, rather than actually prepare them for college. Therefore, most secondary students are entering college without an understanding of how to meet demands of college writing beyond the prescribed “standard five-paragraph essay.” Susan Fanetti’s “Closing the Gap between High School Writing Instruction and College Writing Expectations” examines the discrepancy between American high schools and their…
