(MIP-3) People who are not focused on materialistic things are more humane and emotional. (SIP-A) Faber is much more emotional and human because he lives with less materialistic things. (STEWE-1) In Faber’s living room, Montag notices Faber doesn't have much technology. “‘As you see, my parlour is nothing but four plaster walls. ‘And here’ He held out two small rubber plugs. "For my ears when I ride the subway-jets”( ) . Faber doesn't live with a tv parlor, instead his parlor is simply four…

surprise at how much the college provides to support students. Student experiences in Britain are very different, where, as an adult student, besides academic support through the institution, you are expected to look after yourself, handling your own rent, bills and food on top of doing the academic work and adapting to a new lifestyle. At St. Olaf, my room and board plan means that I do not ever have to consider the electricity bill, or what I’m going to cook for dinner. The college also…

letter to discuss the topics of liberal arts and vocation. These two topics are often talked about in academic institutions, but many of these institutions do not go any further than bringing it up; they do not take action on these topics, they simply talk about them. Here at Wheaton, these are central aspects of my education. We are conscious of these things and we strive to understand them as students. I am aware that you do not attend a liberal arts college which is why I wanted to inform you…

Being able to attend a liberal arts is not only a privilege, but also a blessing. I might not know the reason why yet, but God has brought me to study at Hope College for a certain purpose. Before choosing what college to go to, I went to adoration and I prayed long and hard. I asked God to give me a sign as to which school I should attend, and after adoration I had made up my mind. I couldn’t stop thinking about Hope College, so that’s how I decided to come here. As Mark 10:27 tells us…

“Liberal arts: would you like fries with that diploma?” this quote thought up by the unknown defines the mindset of high school students considering a liberal arts college. Many will tell a person that liberal arts is not for those who want a “real” career, liberal arts is for people who are not ready to grow up. I was told by teachers in my high school that I should think more of myself when I voiced that I was considering attending Central for the next four years. I believe Cronon explains the…

The Great Conversation by Robert M. Hutchins, Statement of Liberal Education by Association of American College & University, What Is a 21st Century Liberal Education by Association of American College & University (AAC&U’s), and Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paolo Freire’s are four articles that explain what liberal education stand for and what has been accomplished over the years. From reading the four articles they explained how liberal education has helped empower students and helped then…

There is not a rational reason why, Lafayette College had phased 8 percent increases every year for online publications, but we did and we had to pay them. Those kind of costs, laboratory equipment and all of the things that go into producing outstanding educational opportunities and research, all of it is growing in rates in excess of inflation and in excess of the basic revenue sources the institution has. The third reason that costs are continuing to rise, is perhaps slightly more…

Since we could not have the event on a weekday before Thanksgiving due to our conflicted schedule, we could have held our conversation café on a weekend afternoon. Most college students are free on a weekend afternoon. It is very difficult to attract people to attend a conversation café when they are not benefited for it. Especially it is harder to have people who are not your friends. All the participants in our conversation…

Owens College was presented with new accreditation standards. The accreditation association presented a new effectiveness criteria and Owens College will be the first institution to undergo the new system. Owens College’s new accreditation standards will be operating under the assumptions associated with the goal model of effectiveness. The ways in which this new emphasis maybe a challenge for Owens College starts with faculty members not collectively coming together to bring about a common…

The process of deciding what college to attend, is one of the most difficult tasks that one can have in their lives. There are so many variables in choosing the right school, the education, sports, size, denomination. The University of Sioux Falls is a great fit for me because of many different things like the size, education, and the denomination. Being able to play a sport that you enjoy and study the intended majors are great to have. But in addition, the close relationships that all students…
