strong academic reputation. Others may look for a university which has a small campus. High school seniors use all of this information to decide which college they want to achieve their higher learning at and, finally, they head off to the college of their dreams. Now, I am doing the same and am hoping to go to one of two colleges. The colleges that I have devoted the most amount…

be very long but I am dedicated to accomplishing my goals. Picking the right college for me is essential in me accomplishing these goals. I have narrowed it down to three colleges to choose from: Whitworth University, OSU, and Northwest University. Whitworth University Whitworth University is located in Spokane, Washington and has a gorgeous 200 acre campus.

The City of Chula Vista is in the process of recruiting an institutional partner for the development of a University and Innovation District on 375 acres of land in the southeastern corner of the city. The difficulty in attracting an institutional partner is not an issue of interest, but rather, it is in identifying the appropriate partner that will meet the established goals of the city while maximizing the potential of the site to transform and strengthen the city and the larger Cali-Baja…

profits? Does this mean that big time universities are exploiting their college athletes so that they can cash in on their talents?

a busy time for all the 12th graders because colleges started their application process for the upcoming school year. At first, I was uncertain of which universities to apply to; therefore I seek help from teachers and counselors at my school. University of Washington was on the list among a number of other colleges. My counselor was from Seattle, who had a personal preference for UW. I also knew at the time that three alumnae from my high school had attended UW. My counselor used to joke…

While the curriculum and home life do affect this, a lot of the time, these students are lost when a teacher lacks the resources or time to help each student that needs it.

Student Athletes are the pinnacle of amateurism yet many desire for them to get paid for what they do. This would entirely destroy the idea of amateurism, by making athletes only wanting to play for money, and allowing the privilege for these athletes to get a great education is valuable in itself. This debate is one most people think is ridiculous however many believe it is…

The NCAA and the universities benefit tremendously from the profits the student athletes generate. Through various sources of profits the NCAA has grown to a multi billion-dollar industry. The NCAA is broken down into conferences, some of the conferences are more competitive then others. There are powerhouse programs within the conferences that groom the best athletes, get the best recruits, and compete for the most prestigious championships.
