Cornell University

Yes that is very impressive, but there is a problem with that. None of those colleges are in the highest ranked in the US. Ivy League colleges, Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Princeton, Yale and the University of Pennsylvania, are the highest ranked schools in America. These schools require people to have a combination of ACT, SAT I, and SAT II tests on their application to attend the University's. If the colleges that have…

As an avid Tumblr browser, I have seen a deal of trigger warnings which are statements intended to warn that what follows could be disturbing and discusses what could be a cause for trauma. However, the first time I have ever even heard of someone expecting a trigger warning outside of internet blogs was two years ago in my high school English class when we were discussing Of Mice and Men. One girl, who I will call Emma, confronted the teacher before we could even get into the discussion,…

George Boiardi was the unsung hero of every team that he graced with his athletic ability. George was a Cornell lacrosse player up until 2004 when he lost his life mid game from a shot that hit him square in the chest. It wasn’t necessarily his statistics that impressed everyone George encountered, but rather his work ethic and the way that he held himself stood out to everyone. George was truly an inspiration to everyone on his team. A selfless, driven, class act that wanted nothing but…

A research completed by Stacy Dale, a mathematician at Mathematica Policy Research, and Alan Krueger, an economist at Princeton University, answers the question: Do people who go to elite colleges get more income than who get rejected and have the same SAT score? The answer is simply no. Students who had the same SAT score as the students who went to elite colleges are just as successful…

John Thelin, an university research professor, discusses in his journal, the reason why colleges used to cost so little years ago and why it cost so much now.

The lack of engagement of Black alumni at Cornell University in university-sponsored alumni association events may be caused by the campus environment that Black alumni experienced while attending as students. These university sponsored alumni events are meant to engage all alumni, however several Black alumni have stated that as students, they did not feel part of the campus culture and therefore have had no interest in participating in events that do not represent their particular interests.…

college. Of course, high-income students being the predominant party. Financial aid is the government’s policy to create an equal chance for students all around the world to achieve a college education whether they choose to attend a public or private university. Over the years, the decrease in the amount of financial aid given has made it impossible for some low-income students to pursue higher education. Now, students base their opinion on which college they should attend with the college that…

In a discussion about the paradigms of public education, Ken Burns addresses the controversial topic of cultural education. Public education is experiencing a time of confusion in helping children develop cultural identity so the new generation can continue to play an important role in globalization. This confusion causes an immediate reaction: continue to do what has been done in the past--instruct children to work hard, do well, and earn a college degree, then they will get a job. Many…

observed many children who have dropped out of college because they were not ready for the freedom of being on their own. I remember my next door neighbor only let her son attend a local community college. The other children attended colleges and universities far away from home, but he went to school nearby. The reason behind that is because his mom wanted to make sure her child was prepared for college mentally. She didn’t want her son to drop out because of parties, and not keeping up…

This will create an easy access/low cost method of delivering education to students around the world. With some of the best universities already offering courses thru this platform, soon we…
