...Greek Life groups can be found across university campuses ranging from private colleges to state universities. Everyone has their own different reasons for joining Greek Life. The first known collegiate secret society, F.H.C., was established on the campus of the College of William and Mary on November 11, 1750 (“The Flat Hat Club,” 1917). F.H.C. stood for the secret phrase “fraternitas, humanitas et cognito,” (Bonzo, 2014). Every university has their own rules and policies that they require their members to follow. Throughout these different groups, you can find students with many different majors that still come together to be involved in Greek Life. Throughout our study of these many different groups, we interviewed students from Central College, University of Iowa, and Iowa State. We made sure to include several students from the four different groups we have on campus and of both genders. As for the two other colleges, we asked a female from University of Northern Iowa and then a male from Iowa State about their experiences....

...Everybody always says how badly they want to get out of their hometown. I said that for the longest time, that I would never live in Tulsa. One night I walked out of The Vanguard after seeing a concert and headed down to the Guthrie Green. I sat on the steps and saw children playing on the splash pads and a couple was slow dancing to music that was coming out of the speakers. I looked out and saw the beautiful glow of downtown and how happy all these people were. I thought about how great Tulsa actually is and I realized how much I actually love it. After that night, I kept imagining my life at the University of Tulsa. However, I didn’t think they had a music management major so what am I gonna do there? I was talking with my aunt one day,...

This essay presents the key issues of this problem but also the approaches and strategies that can help the students to integrate and accommodate with life in universities. Content 1. Key issues The experience demonstrated that the transition from the high school to university is difficult and raises a lot of problems. The researchers identified the key issues regarding this transition : “'academic involvement', 'goal direction', 'classroom interaction', 'institutional belongingness', 'alienation' and 'social isolation' as the key environmental and motivational factors affecting students.” (Whittaker, 2013) Mostly alienation and social isolation appear at the students from other countries or cities. That’s why the social events organized by universities or campuses are welcomed. In multicultural environment, the academic involvement is more powerful in the first year of studies. “Administrative transition centres on issues surrounding enrolment, managing timetables, keeping track of information and submission due dates, and maintaining contact with academic staff.” (Whittaker, 2013) 2. Approaches Stella (2013) recommends...

...year rolls around and your life is flashing before your eyes. Students are struggling to keep grades up and being accepted into college. Several students have been accepted to several different colleges. One student is accepted to the University of Southern Indiana (USI) and Indiana State University (ISU), both equally great colleges. The real question is which one do I choose. Although ISU is a great college, USI has some distinct qualities making it the better college to choose to attend. One quality that makes USI the better choice is the cost. Several struggling students have to pay for their own college. With this in mind, the cost for USI is $20,923 for an Indiana resident and $30,704 for a non-resident. This price amount would...

...impact on every aspect of an individual’s life; physical, mental and emotional. Every one of us is aware that if a person is not financially stable, it would make him double his effort and strive much harder to maintain a secured life. For instance, one cannot eat at a fine-dine-in restaurant with wine on his hands, buy a very expensive car, or purchase a 24k gold to put on his neck and wrist if he is not well- financially. It may be hard to accept but we are living in a world of reality and in this world, we cannot have our desired life unless we work hard to attain such. In this world, we are not the one that gives ourselves a choice. Money does. It may be sad, but, somehow we can say that it is true. We can choose what kind of food we can eat, choose what brand of clothes we are going to buy and choose a school or university where we would study, only if we have more than enough money to acquire those. Being a college student is already hard as it is. The academic problems are already stressful enough for the students. Adding financial insecurity to their plates makes it more difficult and challenging for them. Working affects college students' academic performance negatively. Part-time jobs are one of the best ways for college students to gain real life experience and independence. College students with part-time jobs can also relieve some of the burden ARELLANO UNIVERSITY JOSE ABAD SANTOS CAMPUS ARELLANO UNIVERSITY JOSE ABAD SANTOS CAMPUS from their...

...Every experience in life comes with its own set of challenges to overcome, and university is no exception. Urquhart and Pooley (2007: 78) believe that students making the transition from high school to university experience “social, academic and personal challenges.” The purpose of this essay is to argue why the freedom, demands and social climate of universities are difficult to prepare for. In high school students have little or no academic and social freedom. In addition students only balance their school work with extracurricular activities and they learn passively. Lastly the high school society does not allow the consumption of alcohol and students are in regular contact with the same people. Snyders, Vawda, Taljaard, Brophy and Plaatjes (2006: 186) state that “at a tertiary institution, you have the freedom to choose how you will live and balance.” Freedom is defined as” having the power or right to act, speak or think as one wants” (Soanes and Hawker,2006: 400). Freedom is not simulated in high school because students are constantly under the authority of their parents or guardians. For the first time in a student’s life they are able to live alone and make their own rules (Rugg, Gerrard, and Hooper, 2008: 74). As a result of going from a life where students are constantly being watched, to one where they have the freedom to do whatever they like (Snyders et al, 2005: 186) students spend the majority of the school night socialising at parties (Burns, 2006: vi; Balduf...

...by Students for Democratic Society(SDS).To understand how these events came to be, we must first look at the values/objective of this very organization that came to be at the turn of the decade in 1960 at University of Michigan and Cornell University. Liberal education gives a liberating and freedom that is meant to be worth to educate the person in order to take part in civic life, as a future citizen. The ASEAN the Association of American Colleges and Universities states that a liberal education is that which liberates the mind from ignorance and cultivate social responsibility. Liberal education, unlike vocation is not to train, but to change people. Liberal education allows the student to learn how to think rather than what to think, to have a philosophical understanding wanting to question the reason of being and teaching. A liberal educated person is one that can think outside the box and question the norms of nature. They are free-thinkers.Failure in the closing of the American mind is the failure to have a basic principle of ideas and classic works that contributes to literature, politics etc to educate men, women and society as a whole which become familiar and encourages to seek a greater knowledge of information with the conviction that is set by our university. We no longer seek the knowledge, which aids in our continuous downfall to our liberal education. Before we get into the roaring 60s, we must first look past and analyze what impact the fifties has on...

...Background to the Study University life can be stressful, although it is undoubtly one of the most memorable experience in one’s life. it represents a critical developmental period of late adolescent and young adults (checkering 1969). The primary objective of the university is to conduct research, build an effective human capital which in turns enhance socio-economic growth and development which is an integral part of socialization. Social factors such as romantic relationship, organisation or clubs and sport activities as been found affecting academic performance in terms of time demanded and psychological state. A student may engage in any of the stated variables, the question is how one strikes a balance between the stressful academic attainment and social activities. In addition social activity involves all activities that have to do with human interaction, therefore education and socialization cannot be treated in isolation as they are both like the two sides of a coin. it’s impossible for a student to socialize without the aid of other fellow student either by seeking academic assistance i.e borrowing of textbook or seeking current information from other students. There are numerous social activities which student can engage in the university such as dating, organization, club, internet social network and sporting activity. while some student are involved in all of these social activities other are devalued in some of It, it should be noted that a student must partake...
