Their mission is to promote spiritual, intellectual, physical and emotional growth. By using the pillars of faith, scholarship, service, and friendship.

Some ways I would be able to make new friends is through athletics and clubs. Some clubs I am interested in are Youth and Government club. This club gives students an opportunity to participate in a simulation of the New Jersey state government where Students can propose laws, change laws, and do many other aspects of the New Jersey state government. I am also interested in the book club because I enjoy reading books. Third I am interested in the Spartans Radio Network which became the first student ran radio network in school history December 2012. This radio network covers school sports, academics, and clubs, this club would also help me get rid of my
Everything comes with a price, especially college education. The University of Iowa’s webpage, 2013-2014 Undergraduate Cost of Attendance states that, “these expenses represent average amounts” (3). Most costs vary depending on duration and living plans for the students. For a student living on campus, the estimated total price is around $20,691. Tuition fees, and housing and meals, normally add up to be about $17,485, out of the total. Then there is the books, personal, and transportation fees which end up being $3,206. For many families, that ends up being quite a bit of money. But both schools allow the use of financial aid or even loans to pay for the college education.

In the short story The Scarlet ibis, the author James Hurst suggests how choices can affect an individual’s life.
One of the biggest issues that many students and parents have concerning college education is the cost. Due to the state of the economy, affording college has become very difficult. Fortunately, the government is able to provide financial assistance in addition to the University’s own financial aid. Case is a private institution which means that it costs more compared to a public college. The tuition for Case was approximately, $38,000 in 2007 not including living or book expenses. Even though there was a tuition rate increase for every following year. The only way I was able to afford the tuition at Case was because of the scholarship I earned. In addition, I received federal grants and a substantial amount of aid from the University. I did not have a free ride but I received a great deal of financial help to pay for my college education.
Graduating from high school is a proud moment in every student’s life. They must prepare what comes next for them whether it’s to get a job, start a career, or pursue continuing education. The cost for a college education can be overwhelming. There are many factors that play into the cost of going to secondary education. College tuition, fees, books, supplies, transportation, personal expenses, room and board. These expenses can vary for public community colleges and four year universities, public or private universities, and state residents or out of state residents. Community college tuition can range from $1,000-$12,000 for state residents and $4,000-$30,000 for non-residents. Four year college tuition can range from $4,000-$16,000 for state residents and $10,000-$35,000 for non-residents. Private four year institutions can cost as much as $25,...
In all colleges in the United States, students are required to pay for their classes’ tuition either by themselves, their parents, guardians or a scholarship that they may have. The average tuition fee for an individu...
College students who have the opportunity to attend a university rather than a community college will find that the process of making friends is an easier one. Making friends while being in college has many factors strung a lot with it. Universities present a bigger opportunity of creating lasting friendships by providing more of a social life with dorm room living, greater social events and lounges for students to hangout at all through the day. The process of making a friend is a very unique one, and it does not come easy to everyone. In all reality, attending a university over a community college is the better approach when wanting to be socially active and meeting a variety of friends.
I grew up in a small town where everyone knows everyone. I was close with all of my peers that I shared school memories with from age five to eighteen. I watched my once young and innocent classmates grow into teenagers who live in poverty, develop substance abuse, and drop out of high school. Deep down I know my peers have potential to be productive successful individuals, but they were somewhat less fortunate than I was and did not receive that extra push during their school years. This caused me to want to create that support system in similar situations as a school social
I wondered how I would meet classmates with different ways of thinking, many of them with different ages, customs, nationalities and ways of life. This really was one of my greatest expectations. Nowadays, I have met so many different and wonderful people, willing to support each other in everything, starting over with a primary and a common goal for all, fighting to get the final result, becoming nurses. More than that, we have become good friends that support each other most of the time. In our open spaces we share the experiences that we live in each class, we analyze our weaknesses and we always look for the right solution. Likewise, we talked about family and work issues, and in our spare time, we organize activities to hang out together and rejoice in
Meeting people will not be that hard, since most colleges offer a bazillion a lot social events at the beginning of the year. And the friends that students do meet in college you will be surprised as to how close students become to each other. This is mostly due to the fact that they live about twenty feet from them or even closer. Just think how much closer students would be to their friends in school if, to visit them, you just had to walk down the hall at midnight about three doors and walk into their friends bedroom. And you can never hide anything, because the student bedroom could end up becoming the floor social lounge and your bed could end up being the common couch.
The second category of friends I call "social partners." This is because they are closer than acquaintances, but no where near as close as a true friend. Social partners are usually acquaintances who evolve into "guest friends" through increased extracurricular activities. You know their name, a little of what they like or dislike, a little of their family history, and usually have several things in common. As the saying
A first day at a new school can always be scary and nerve wrecking. Starting a new school can seem as if making new friends will be almost impossible. In the end a new school calls for new experiences and new friends.
My freshman experience was by far the longest and most difficult time in the four years I spent at American Heritage High School. I did not know one person in my entire high school when I got there so it was a difficult task to make friends. The first few weeks in high school I was so miserable. The hardest time of freshman year was probably overhearing other students I went to school with talking about an amazing party they went too on the first weekend of high school. This was extremely tough for me considering that I was not invited to this party and that weekend, I had just stayed home and watched a movie. During my freshman year there were certain activities designed to help new students make friends. I went to
If you miss home within the first few weeks of school, whatever you do, stick it out and stay at school for at least the first month. The first month is the time where everyone establishes their group of friends. I wrote a poem called “Friends till’ the End” which discusses how to make friends in college that will last a lifetime. I learned that the first month of school is the most critical and optimal time to establish a group of friends. As one of my stanzas
If you are looking to make new friends, you have to get clear on what kind of friends you want to make. Broadly speaking, there are 3 types of friends.
