For-profit universities and colleges

As all things in life, there is always a beginning. I was first introduced to Full Sail University in 2012. One of my associates mentioned to me he was attending in the fall of 2012. At that time, I lived in New Brunswick, New Jersey. I was attending DeVry University for Multimedia Graphic & Development. I left DeVry University upon finding out my financial aid was displaced due to a class schedule issue. Nonetheless, I moved back to Plano, Texas to where my mother was living at the time. Making it back to Texas, I began working towards getting into Full Sail University. I 've never been to the institution in person, however, my thoughts after checking out the virtual tour captivated me. In saying this, my first appearance on the scene of Full Sail University came in the summer of 2014. Before I started the MCBS Program, I was in the Web Design Program. As mentioned, I was still believing I wanted to stay with the same route I had at DeVry University. I knew I wanted to stay with media aspect. I just…

The Safety of College Campuses today Campus safety was not always a major priority for many universities a decade ago. This unfortunately came at a price for one school back in 2007. On April 16th, a Virginia tech Senior managed to kill a total of 32 people and wounding 17 others on campus. If a single shooter managed to hurt and kill a total of 49 people on two different parts of campus, it was clear that Virginia tech had a major weakness involving campus safety resources.

Fraternities and similar Micro-level Environments in Universities Universities and Colleges are breeding grounds for Rape culture: this is the basis of Simone Chiang’s essay. The author explains that the universities become spectators instead of action takers when it comes to cases of rape reported by students. While the act itself is not encouraged, the culture is promoted as a form of bonding for the students. This is an argumentative essay written by Simone Chiang in the Active Reader…

Campus safety has always been a major priority for most colleges across the country. This unfortunately wasn’t the case for some universities back then. On April 16, 2007, a Virginia tech Senior managed to kill a total of 32 people on campus.

Living on campus is normal for most students in college, then again, so is living off campus. The choice to live on campus or to not can be very tough. An indecisive person could have a very hard time deciding which way to live out their years in college. It may appear to most that living on campus is a no brainer, but in actuality sixty percent of students at public colleges live off campus, according to U.S. News and World Report. On the other hand the same newspaper stated that sixty-four…

By having firearms on campus we are at risk at having another University of Austin or Virginia Tech incident. Supporters of the open carry argue that in the case of an active shooter on campus the students and faculty armed with a permit to carry a handgun can protect the lives of many. Which is true to an extent, but many shooters are normally not only armed with assault weapons…
