According to Tony Woodall, author of Making sense of higher education: students as consumers and the value of the university experience, concluded that “determining factors is necessary to maximize the understanding of the relationship between student and value.”.

With dogs being so helpful, many universities have incorporated play time with animals into their campus activities and even their curriculum.

I am one of them. Santa Monica College was my first stop after high-school, almost 20 years ago. Growing up it seemed that I was always marginalized. I was the “darker skinned kid” who didn’t speak English and whose parents had funny accents. I recall being 7 years old and being cornered by a bunch of kids my age, and being told that my skin color was not liked by “God”. I realized early on that I was different. This difference, for an immigrant, is a hard pill to swallow. My high school…

One of the biggest decisions I, along with any other high school senior, must make is where I would like to attend college. The university that I pick will have a massive impact on the way that my life shapes out over the next four years. College is a period of time where kids transition into becoming adults, and a senior must be careful to choose a school that will help them in this vulnerable time. Before I can choose which school is right for me, I must decide whether I would like to live at…

Some Universities have broken elevators ,stairs without handrails, and inaccessible bathrooms.
