Medieval university

Being a senior last year, I had to start thinking about where I wanted to go to college. When looking into colleges I also had to look into the tuition prices because I knew that I did not have the funds to pay for college on my own. With going into my fall semester at GGC I only had the money that FASFA had granted be to pay for college and I had not started working yet. Since I did not have money saved up I did not take as many classes as I wanted to. My mom’s friend told me about how her son…

College retention is a major issue for students, universities and society in general. The problem has existed for years and is still a topic for many to research and understand. It is in the best interest of all three parties to reduce the dropout rate.

For those unable to obtain academic or athletic scholarships, government funding such as…

student I am looking to improve my chances of getting accepted to the University of California. What is the probability of a transfer student getting accepted to a four-year university from a community college and what are the requirements? In fall 2016 the University of Los Angeles had a total of 22,281 transfer students that applied for admissions, And 5,667 were admitted totaling a 25% admit rate. Also, in fall 2016 at the University of Southern California 8,750 applications from transfer…

My decision to return to college was purely random. There was no pondering over the decision; no weighing in the pros and cons, no thinking it through or any real thought behind it. I literally woke up one morning and said to myself “I think I’ll go back to college” and I made the call. I called the College of New Rochelle and made the appointment for the admissions test. And before I knew what was actually happening, I was a matriculated college student. Now let’s back up a little to a time…

A third area that funding is being directed to is athletic facilities and coaches’ salaries. Money is often spent on new practice facilities and locker rooms so that colleges can increase recruiting efforts. When colleges are able to acquire good players for their athletic teams they can increase revenue generated at the games. The problem is that the revenue generated doesn’t go back into the university’s system to fund education. The money instead goes to coaches’ salaries and bonuses along…

I am a student at Valencia Community College, completing an associate degree in computer science and planning of transferring to University of Central Florida. Since my earliest childhood, I have always been interested in computers. My first program was “Adding two numbers” using code, which make me curious to know computers in deep learning. My creative and enthusiastic methods of solving the problem lead me to select a career like computer scientist. I am always doing that which I cannot do,…

Due to the growing prevalence of cheating in a Higher Education setting, Universities should create and enforce legitimate repercussions to those students caught cheating, in order to avoid the collapse of Higher Education, as we know it today. As Professor Doom writes, graduating cheaters degrades the institution from which they come, no matter how sparse. While a degree is a degree, they are only as strong as the establishment from where they come. Students should realize that the degrees they…

to their, even you really want to go to the four-year university. Attending four-year university is much expensive than attending Communication College, so I gave up to transfer at that time because that is my only choice. However, time goes by, and gradually I can not help thinking to transferring and learn higher level study. How much I desire to learn instead of going back to Japan and starting a work. I really want to go to the university. To do that I need my family’s support, I knew it,…

I am committed to graduating from UCM because I am not afraid to look for help or resources. The University of Central Missouri has resources that are easily accessible for students to be…

One way or another we all had conceived a dream; dreams can be inspiring, but many times dreams can lead to disappointments. For instance, many times immigrants migrate to the United States to pursuit the “American dream” despite the risks they may encounter. Growing up I didn’t really hear “these stories” until later in life. Many families feel the need to go to el otro lado for better opportunities and to be able to provide to their families. Both of my parents are immigrants and just like…
