visited Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University twice, first time was after I graduated from my high school, my best friend Jake gave me the tour around campus, at that time, he was admitted as a fall freshman that year. I was amazed when I saw this quite town and elegant Randolph hall with department of mechanical engineering in. The Burruss hall filled with art nouveau. I felt peaceful right after I step on campus, and realized that this place was where I want to be. Virginia tech possesses
away where they want to go, while others—including myself—remain unsure and hesitant. Through research and much consideration, I was able to narrow down my options to two different yet similar colleges: Pennsylvania State University, and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. In order to come to a final decision on which college to attend, I must consider these different factors: the campus itself, the quality of education, my family ties, and tuition. One of the most important deciding
Seung-Hui Cho was a 23 year old senior that studied English at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg, Virginia. On April 16, 2007 Seung-Hui Cho killed 32 people and injured 17 others in two separate attacks before taking his own life. This event is known as one of the deadliest shootings by a single gunman in the United States and worldwide. When Cho was a young boy he had been described as shy and mild mannered. Family and classmates report that he never spoke much and
Therefore they understand the consequences associated to the use of weapons and have gained more maturity. In April 16th, 2007, at Blacksburg, Virginia, there was a shooting rampage enacted by Sung-Hui Cho (23 years, from Centreville, VA) who fired over 170 rounds, killing 32 victims, before taking his own life at the Virginia Tech campus. Colleges and Universities would be a much safer place, for student and teacher, if guns were permitted on campus for self-defense purposes. College campuses are more
back on the tragic events in Blacksburg, Virginia on April 16, 2007 when a small college town became famous not for their educational abilities or their sports accomplishments but rather having the deadliest school shooting in the history of the United States when 32 individuals lost their lives to a lone gunman. I will touch on the events that let up to the tragic event as well as describing the actions of individuals, law enforcement, campus workers, and state and government agencies that were involved

is unarmed and unable to defend themselves, therefore, areas that do not allow concealed carry are unsafe and will undoubtedly attract someone who wants to harm the defenseless. In light of recent school shootings, a portion of society, including state legislators have been discussing whether nor not to authorize students and faculty to carry their concealed weapons on college campuses. Most school shootings take place in gun-free zones. While sections of the community say that allowing students

After June 2, 2015, students are allowed to carry guns on college campuses in the state of Texas for the safety of the person. Guns on campuses are not necessary to protect oneself. Safety is important in a public location; however, guns are too dangerous when placed in the wrong hands. Student safety is all the more reason not to allow guns on college campuses. Granted, guns are a great weapon for self defense or for the secure feeling of having a gun on our person; however, the people who conceal
The gun control topic is one of the most controversial themes in the United States. Many citizens worry about the facts that guns are getting out of control and crime is increasing. I think there are solutions that will help to have a better control of guns in the U.S, such as reducing military weapons, reduction of capacity of magazines, and increase the age for buying guns to 24 years old. Firstly, when we talk about military guns, we talk about high caliber bullets and weapons that are specially

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is the national aviation authority of the United States. It is responsible to regulate civil aviation, commercial space transportation and new aviation technology. The FAA is the only responsible to ensure the safe integration of unmanned aircraft systems in the National Airspace System, as its webpage states. So far, the only way to operate a drone in the U.S. is by an explicit authorization COA, which is a Certificate of Waiver. The process to obtain this

The analysis of three tragic mass murder cases will entail information that lead to the conclusion of social rejection being a primary cause of mass homicide and thus providing great support for the hypothesis. The three cases are the Virginia Tech shooting, the mass shooting at the Polytechnique engineering school in Montreal and finally the Columbine high school

Did you know that Americans spend around one billion dollars per year on school uniforms? At the beginning of every school year, families shop for weeks and weeks to find specific clothes that fit into a school’s strict uniform dress code. School uniforms should not be required in schools because they take away from the student’s freedom of expression, do not lower disciplinary problems, and do not prevent bullying based on economic status. Dress codes often have more of a negative impact than a
On the campus of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, the 16th of April 2007, there was a shooting. A student named Seung-Hui Cho opened fire tragically killing 32 students and wounding countless others before later committing suicide. Said to be “the deadliest shooting in the United States” (Fact). In 2011, 1,410 weapon violations occurred on-campus, and 16 murders were reported afterward that year. In 2013, “at least 27 shootings occurred on or near college campuses, according
uniforms should be required for student to wear or not? Uniforms are basically an outfit that student wear. School uniforms may sound outdated, but will help children in the long run. According to New York Times, former President Bill Clinton’s 1996 state of Union address called for all 16,000 school districts to adopt a uniform policy” (Kershaw). The public school district in Long Beach, California was the first to adopt the uniform policy. Many teens across the country have mixed feelings about school

Introduction When researching the population decline of amphibians as a global issue, it is evident that there have been drastic changes in the past 30 years. Mike Lannoo from the U.S. Declining Amphibian Task Force says that there have been significant losses in amphibian populations for an extensive period of time (No Single Reason, 1999). Stuart et al. (2004) stated that according to scientists at the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), at least 427 species, roughly 7.4%, are
