The field trip to the Lava Beds National Monument would be a good place to go. It is near the California and Oregon state boarder and is California's best kept secret. We should go to the Lava Beds National Monument because it would be a fun place to go and see things we never seen before. Lava Beds Monument could be really fun because we could climb and go in the slide that is there. It would be really fun. The Lava Beds Monument is full of history and geological wonders. It has…

sign had a referral to his venmo account “BrokeBadger”(Hoffer) . Nigel Hayes gives his heart and soul playing basketball for the University of Wisconsin and he does not even have enough money to eat. Another example for this is Shabazz Napier, who said he went to bed hungry…

Discussion The study addresses two questions: How do college students obtain the meals they are eating? Why are they consuming this food? According to my results, I found that food being accessible, cheap, and a healthy option factors heavily into the way a college student plans their diet. College students are aware that they should be eating healthy, however they have little time and money that cannot be wasted towards food, so they look for meals that help them save on both, all while still…

Also I believe colleges and universities should not have to pay athletes because they are already providing them athletic scholarships and other benefits. An athlete’s scholarship is a form of salary. According to the NCAA, the average value of a full scholarship at an in-state, public school, is $18,000 a year. For an out-of-state public school the value is $25,000. This money goes towards tuition fees, room and board, required textbooks and much more. These universities are giving student…

Have you ever wanted to go to Oregon? There are many sights and experiences to see, feel, and try, along with a rich history. It’s the year 1803. President Thomas Jefferson bought a huge swatch of land for the US, including what is now Oregon. He sent explorers to map the territory. Later, in 1840, settlers traveled up the Oregon Trail. On February 14, 1854, Oregon became the 33rd official state. Oregon may have gotten its name from the French word “Ouragan”, which means hurricane and was a…

money out of any other organization on campus. Scholarships provided to athletes from a school’s financial perspective is a steal and a way to benefit from the laborers. College athletes are not allowed to make money off their name so why is the university, which already makes millions of dollars off athletes, allowed to sell merchandise with their likeness. College athletes should be paid because NCAA athletics makes more than professional sport teams, their scholarships are less than the…

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. Factors to be dissected are lack of money, being academically unprepared, and the metamorphic life changes encountered by freshman which are stressful. For those unable to obtain academic or athletic scholarships, government funding such as…

Honor Code Across the United States, countless high schools and college universities have the honor code at their institutions. According to Stanford University, the honor code is a statement that addresses issues such as cheating, stealing, and misrepresentation. These are instituted by a school or other institution in which its participants pledge. Honor codes are self-regulating, because under an honor code, students are required to turn in other students in violation of the code (Roberts).…

Value of College Education in this Country Not so long ago people were hardly ever doubt about college education. Many know that person who have college degrees were paid well and a promise of a successful career. Today, however, many claimed that college education in this country is a waste of time and money. It is too expensive and unaffordable, and yet unemployed college graduates are not able to find a job. A college education does not prepare individuals for a specific job’s skill as a…

Opportunity for Low-Income Students Equality - what does it truly mean? To most people, the thought of social equality raises questions mainly dealing with race and gender. For instance, a popular issue today is the wage gap; a statistical estimation that states a woman is paid 79 percent of what a man is paid for performing the same job with the same credentials (aauw). A matter like this can certainly be solved to a certain extent by policy with enough reinforcement and push; however, can all…
