The typical high school senior wants to get away, and go to a University somewhere far. Although living away from home, doesn't work for everyone. Some students would perfer to be in their own enviroment to which they are familiar with. One major difference that is kept in mind during the process of deciding which school sitiuation is best for the student is money. Community college is much less expensive than a university and isn't much different.
If that happens then you might have to take whatever class could not transfer over at a university for more money. Be sure to find a good advisor to make the chances of a nightmare happening slim to none. Unfortunately you do not get a bachelor’s degree from a community college. Some say community colleges have limited curriculum. (Pros and Cons, 2012) For high school graduates, commuting from home appears to them as a disadvantage.
The new vocationalism scheme was introduced around 1979. The students would attend college for one or two days a week to study for vocational qualifications that were not available at school. Most schools used this to re-engage disaffected young people. Although schemes have helped working class students it has also helped middle class and so it has not helped reduce social inequality but instead give students more choice over there education. Vocational education has helped some students and provided people with more qualifications so they have a better chance of getting a job but they have not reduced social inequality.
How can Beres prove that the money is really going to waste? How does he know that those funds aren’t being used to help the medical students get a better clinical? I agree that every student deserves to get into their “dream” college, so not only will the common app help with get there but also help start them with the path they need to be on. Just because so many of the applicants who applied didn’t get accepted doesn’t mean they weren’t being given a chance. I wonder what percentage of those students who didn’t get accepted withdrew the opportunity themselves because they couldn’t afford it once they got accepted.
A: I disagree with the statement, I know plenty of people who are well educated not necessarily college educated. They are all living long and healthy lives. I do think, however, college does help to live a wealthier and more prosperous life, but not a longer and healthier life. I think college is going to help me personally grow into less of a narrow mined person and expand my mind culturally and ethically. I do not necessarily think it will make me healthier, although those things are part of a healthier mind.
Learning Against Grades In this society, students are encouraged to pursue a higher education after graduating from high school. Yet, each individual has a different reason for desiring to move on to college. Students attend college either because they want to increase their knowledge, get a decent paying job after college, or they just want to get the “college” experience instead of going on to the working force after high school. As a first-year college student, I pictured college to be a “… place for learning and growth…” (Jerry Faber, 387), but I was slightly wrong. Everyday I stress over earning a good grade in my classes, instead of being driven to learn the material of the course.
Many of us may feel excited or even overwhelmed and fearful at the prospect of "finally being finished" and being able to "go out on our own" as adults. However, though society may now consider us adults, we of course still have so much to learn about what it means to be an adult. Most of us are probably not ready to "go out on our own." The good thing, though, is that we don't have to. While all our teachers and parents have been working all our lives to equip and prepare us for this stage in our lives, it's not like when we get to this point and go off to college or whatever you may plan to do now that they will all be gone; these people along with all the friends we've made over time will still be there, maybe not right where you can see them everyday, but nevertheless there to talk to and support you when you may need.
Chapter 1 In Chapter 1 the book talks about the college experience. It goes into different details about settling into a college routine, talks about why college is important and many other new things that come with college. It explains that college isn’t all about sports and partying that as young adults we have that image of college in our head. College is another step in education, and in today’s society having a college degree is very important when trying to get a high paying job. Having a college degree makes living the American Dream a lot easier, and it helps you grow as an adult and teaches you leadership roles.
The demand for students who barely receive their diploma or even a bachelor’s degree is slowing decreasing. Many companies are looking for those students that excel and are able to constantly work. With that said, foreigners are filling jobs in America due to their education system, which is why I believe that America should transform their education to become year-round. From there on, students will be able to fully benefit from the education system as well as compete in the job
Anthony Williams Julia Shattuck EN101 March 6, 2014 Competency-Based Degrees In the “Chronicle of Higher Education Commentary” article “Competency-Based Degrees: Coming Soon to a Campus Near You,” by Joel Shapiro, he argues that competency based degrees are good for students but bad for teachers. Students can get academic credit while taking fewer courses. For the teachers though that means fewer jobs for them because students would no longer need all the extra elective courses. It seems as if he thinks competency based programs will be the future of colleges and help students get to where they are going faster. The author does not support his argument because he does not give any statistical information, just his opinion, and he expresses his opinion in a biased fashion.
