they will never fall victim to a crime” (p. 7). However, that doesn’t mean that schools don’t keep trying to increase their safety procedures. We all want schools to be safe places. “Of course, no college or university can ever guarantee that its campus is 100% “safe” because “safe” is a relative concept. The objective of any institution is to create an environment that is as safe as possible given the realities of the external environment and the inability to
College Campus vs. Small College Campus When you are looking at colleges, you must compare and contrast the benefits and disadvantages between each college. One of the main things you think about is the college campus itself. Whether big or small, the campus atmosphere is important to college success. As you analyze the information they give you about their campus amenities, you will be able to see the major contrasts in large and small colleges. A big college campus and a small college campus can differ
prevent crimes from happening. When walking onto a college campus as a young adult, people get a rush of the unknown. The unknown could be going to college parties and late night study groups. College should be like any high school or elementary school and have better security measures to protect their students. The reasons we need these extra steps are to prevent violence, give students a sense of security, and monitor visitors on campus. First of all, violence can be prevented on campuses among
shootouts on college campuses and the people that are injured during the shootouts, guns should be prohibited. Someone on The New York Times said, “Keeping guns out, not allowing more in, is the answer” (Ojalvo, 2011). People think that allowing guns on campus will keep them safe, but sometimes they don’t. In 2002 a shootout happened in the University of Arizona. A nursing student shot 3 professors to death. One other kid said “I don’t think two people having guns and firing them in public is that food
STUDENTS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO CARRY GUNS ON COLLEGE CAMPUS Specific Purpose: To motivate my audience to stand against the law that allows students to carry guns on college campus. Central Idea: Allowing guns on college campus can create tension on the campus and possibly increase the rate of gun violence in schools. INTRODUCTION I. The Attention Step A. About 5 months ago, Mustafa is a United Arab Emirate student like me who goes to Virginia State College. He was involved in a heated racial
College community. Being a woman in Utica College gives me the chance of being associated with many different communities. As a woman, being apart of the woman group gives me plenty of responsibilities within itself. As a woman, my responsibility on my campus is to first carry myself with respect. In this day and age, it is natural for a man to downgrade a woman and speak on her as if she is under him. It has become an era where men sexualize a woman and look at
student services should create a job placement program to benefit student success before and after graduation. A great place to start this program would be the Montgomery College Campus. The Montgomery College campus is centrally located in The Woodlands, close to many businesses, and is easily accessible, making the campus is an ideal setting. Students would benefit from hands on experience that would start within the college itself, and leading up to job placement. Local businesses would also benefit
Virtual campus tour is a software program where the users can experience the same thing as in the real world. They can touch, walk, run, sit on a chair, or change direction. In other words, it is like an online expedition that is close to real campus walking tour. Virtual campus tour could be a useful reference in the future for architects, urban planners, and government entities. My part in this project is making the brochure and PowerPoint. The brochure contains information about the purpose

Thousands of kids roam a college campus - and it only takes one. No amount of preparation, staff training, or school-wide drills can prepare the university for something so terrible. This tragedy will forever change the way students and teachers operate the school. One man. One gun. And the sad part is that all of this can all be averted. For this reason, the law should consent to “licensed concealed carry” (carrying a weapon with a license) on campus. If students were allowed to defend themselves
My recently divorced History professor seemed to be in an extremely foul mood one dreary Monday morning. Every move and comment the class made seemed to irritate him more and more. Everyone in the room stopped moving and talking in concern for him, everyone except Josh, who is our class clown. He made the decision to make a comment to our teacher that any other day would have broken the ice and class would have resumed. For some reason, on this particular day it was the straw that broke the camel’s
The Pitiful Campus Dining Experience When I was a waiter at a local pizza parlor, the area manager would come in once every two weeks and give the restaurant an inspection. He would watch us through the course of an evening, and when the crowds subsided, he would gather us all around and give us our review. At the onset of every debriefing, as they were called among the crew, the first words from his mouth would always be, "From the moment the customer enters those doors, his dining experience
Satellite technology has advanced dramatically since the launching of the first artificial satellite, Sputnik, in 1957. There are hundreds of satellites orbiting Earth right now, launched and funded by many different nations (the US included). They are used for things like GPS or cellular communication, but also for measuring different aspects of our planet. Satellites’ ability to see into different sections of the light spectrum enable them to collect data better and more efficiently than ever before
writing styles and the research in my opinion. It was too long and too detailed, especially with the insignificant ideas in, which should not have been in it, such as the explanation of our campus, an insignificant detail. There was not a good comparison in the national average, Buena Vista University is a small campus in a small town, not similar to, say, the University of Missouri with a large student population and in the city of Columbia. The research was not well done and was unbalanced. This book
College Has Exceeded My Expectations A new place to live, new friends, a new diverse campus, new classes, and even a newfound freedom: that was what I found waiting from me the first day I moved up to Northern Arizona University. These were the things I was in search for when I was looking through all of the different colleges that I could possibly go to. NAU had them all but most importantly, NAU had a wonderful communications program, which just made everything a little better. Having lived
onto and around their college campus. The case for this gun carry legislation was that if the students, teachers and other officials were able to have these gun than maybe the issue of school shootings would almost evaporate in some areas. This no doubt sounds like one of the better arguments for guns on campus, seeing as how much of an epidemic we have with school shootings. However, congress seemed to have disregarded an issue on how this could also harm the campus more than it could help. Giving
Some might say that it takes a lot of patience and experience to open up a new campus not knowing whether it will succeed or fail. Texas A&M San Antonio like many other colleges first inaugurated in 2011, expanding the A&M branch further South left a lot of people wondering what the outcome would be. At first it started off only offering upperclassman courses making it very rigorous for students who were interested in attending to apply straight out of high school. Then in the fall of 2016 TAMUSA
Smoking on Campus For Mandie Sload, college and nicotine go hand in hand. A 20-year-old student at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Sload never smoked in high school. She doesn’t smoke much over the summers but as soon as a new semester starts, she is back to four or five cigarettes a day. What is it about college life that lures her to smoke? Stress? Peer pressure? Smoking is an addiction. Tobacco contains nicotine, a drug that is addictive. Once you start smoking, it is very hard
Integrity is how somebody lives their life. In this life we live, we face choices every day that only we can answer. We dictate how we run our own lives, and they way we run them defines us. Integrity is doing the right thing versus the wrong thing. People, if nothing else, can always have their pride, their integrity. It is something that means a lot to some people and then nothing to others. The ones who value their integrity highly are the good people in this world, and the opposite is true for
