I first visited New York City when I was 13 years old and I fell in love with the city. I was hypnotized by how vibrant the city was, teeming with life and culture. As I grew older I began to wonder what college life would be like in the Big Apple, and I started to look at schools. When I first discovered The New School I enjoyed that it was different and unconventional compared to other universities and I was instantly drawn in.
I am fascinated by the uniqueness of The New School. I love the combination of everything that the university offers. The blend of elements of an arts school with elements of a traditional university would create a truly one-of-a-kind college experience. I have always considered myself a creative thinker, and I especially

I believe that this university would offer me a unique and beneficial historical education. History has always been my favorite subject in school, and I would be excited to experience the take on it that The New School offers. In addition to my classes, the New York City location would be extremely influential on my studies. New York City has such a rich history and such a rich lasting culture, so I would be constantly inspired by my surroundings. I love that the faculty teach classes in multiple fields and multiple schools within the university. That would color my education with new knowledge that I may never have received at any other university. The connection that The New School has with historical groups in the city is something that would be extremely beneficial to students. I always learn best by doing hands-on projects, so that would create a constructive and educational environment catered to my needs as a student.
Living in NYC and attending The New School would push me out of my comfort zone and allow me to grow as a student and as a person. The New School is truly a one-of-a-kind university that would be extremely beneficial to my education. Living in New York City at a crucial time in my life when I am discovering who I am, would be an inimitable experience. I would love for The New School to be part of my experience, and I would be honored to continue my education
This school is a tradition is my family. My great grandpa, grandpa, father, and now my brother attends as a very successful student and athlete. This school has changed my life drastically. I do not live with my brother, Will. Which is hard for all my family.
Attending Bowling Green State University I would have better knowledge as to where everything is located. I would also know many people in the area and many students who attend Bowling Green State University. As for Towson University I would have really never been to the area and would have no one I would know in the area either. The area would be in a completely different state, and a completely different town. I feel that when my parents are that far away from me.
Pros and Cons There are several pros to attending Appalachian State University. First of all App is a great school for social sciences (Psychology, Sociology, and Anthropology) which is going to be my intended major. I already have friends who have a house that I could move into and I wouldn’t have to sign the lease. I also love the vibe of the campus; I remember when I had visited over spring break that there was a random drum circle going on in the middle of campus which was pretty cool. I know many people who attend Appalachian.
All these extra things FSU has to offer is available to commuting students as well as on campus students. FSU is the school that I would love to further my education at!
I was born in New York City when it was still a slave state. I am 18 years of age and have just started attending a university close to where I live. I live in a small residence that is walking distance from the school. The school I attend is quite large and filled with many classrooms, professors, and students. The few people I have encounters are friendly enough and it has not taken me very long to become accustomed to the busy life of a student.
Stem is an exceptional school, but it also has a large amount of poor qualities. I like that the school is known for kinesthetic learning. I am a kinesthetic learner so that aspect would create exceptional academics. Also, I know that Rae is getting in because her sister was accepted, which means I would know her and some kids from church. In contrast some parts of the school that are not as desirable are that there are no art classes.
I already have connections and relationships with people from Vanden High, so it would be easier for me to adjust into that system. I believe I would feel comfortable there, and so it will be easier for me to learn and enhance my high school career, knowing that I am able to feel secure and
I personally believe that the Ohio State Academy would be a tremendous opportunity for me. I see the Academy as a way to get accustomed to the rigor of college, as well as an opportunity to push myself academically. It would allow me to graduate from college quicker, which would enable post-graduate studies to be a more feasible option. Rather then continuing to be held back in my education, the Ohio State Academy would let me excel past high school curriculum. Another major advantage of this post-secondary program is the, although counter-intuitive, ability to be more involved in my high school extracurricular activities.
I have visited all three campuses and attended a class there when walking around the campuses it made me imagine myself going to those school because of the environment and the majors they are known for. Above all, when I search deep inside, the campuses are top diverse schools. The size of the campuses are also where I want it to be, not too small or not to big. The location of the campus is one thing I consider when I choose one of this college as my top choice because it is convenient school where I am able to go to my parent’s house because I want to make sure that I can come to my family once a week. Even though living on campus is a requirement for me, it is an hour and a half drive from my mother house.
SPU’s vision of pursuing education passed just a degree is something I truly believe in. The vision aligns with the vision my high school. At Kamehameha we are taught to be good and industrious men and women, as wanted by our founder, Bernice Pauahi Bishop. Pauahi has become a role model due to her contributions to my education as a Hawaiian. Thanks to her want for better Hawaiian education and the want for her people to thrive, she created Kamehameha schools.
In A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving, Owen tries to convince Mr. Morrison, the mailman, to play the Ghost of Christmas Future in the Christmas Pageant and is disinclined because he feels his part would not be scary enough. At that moment, Owen drops a bomb on him and tells him that “THERE’S NOTHING AS SCARY AS THE FUTURE” (Irving 195). He then proceeds to describe to him the recent events of what has happened, his premonition of his fate, and his faith that God has a role for him and that he must oblige. Even though Owen’s reason for telling Mr. Morrison his beliefs is to convince him to play the role, the quote is still impactful and visible in the lives of many high school students and especially my life. The impact of the future has
Another reason that I want to go to Mitty is that I want to be closer to my home if I am needed. My grandmother is alone at home since my grandfather passed away last year. She doesn’t drive and needs company sometimes when she misses my grandfather. Mitty is very close to my home that will allow me to help my parents when the time comes that I can go home when needed and also close to my sisters’ school at Saint
My mom immigrated to NYC from the Soviet Union with my older sister. She had decided to explore the city with my sister and one of the first places they visited together was Washington Square Park. While they were there they walked past NYU and my mom said “I moved her so that you will have the opportunity to go to this school.” When I was 7 years old my mom took me on the same adventure that my sister had gone on. She told me the same thing and it stuck with me for the rest of my life.
I do not want to come to Georgetown solely because of it’s impact on my life or it’s proximity to home. By being able to study at Georgetown University’s Georgetown College, I would be able to take advantage of a rigorous (but rewarding) academic program and the city itself, which is a prime location to pursue my goals: one day becoming a lawyer. I want to come to Georgetown in order to receive a higher education and to be surrounded by bright classmates, esteemed faculty members, Washington DC, and the world. All of this would not only help me achieve my dream and be successful at whatever I do, but it will help me become a more knowledgable and understanding person. It just so happens that Georgetown has held a very special place in my heart for all of my life, which I consider as an extra bonus if I attend the
Have you ever felt uncomfortable, nervous, and confused ? These are all the things I felt moving to a new school. I had no idea if I would gain friends or if anyone would like me. Maybe if I had a tour around the new school before my first day I would have not been so disorientated. Going from a one story school to a two story school was hard, having to look down every five seconds to make sure I was on the right hall, or if I was suppose to be upstairs or downstairs.
