Higher Education (University +) - March 2007

I'm thinking of moving to California and would like to apply to these universities. If anyone can provide any information on the three (or one of the three) I'd be very grateful. I've already checked out the websites, and would like REAL people's opinions.

What I'm looking for is information on:

-rank (in terms of quality and reputation)
-quality of instruction (ie., are most of the profs preoccupied with their own research to be good profs?)
-size
-overall "feel" (ie., campus, students, etc.)

It might help to mention that I'm double-majoring in english and philosophy.

I should also mention that I'm not a high school student - I'm just transferring from one university to another.

The other question I want to ask is (that also ties in with rank): how difficult is it to be accepted to each university? On their websites they do mention that competition is stiff ...

My friend is looking for a small, private, liberal arts college preferably no farther east than Texas. Urban, or near someplace urban, four year residential housing, and perhaps a bit quirky or different. She loves English, is interested in psychology, and really just wants a fun, fairly nonstressful four years where the emphasis is more on learning, reading, and writing than neccesarily getting great grades and a great careeer or grad program. Her GPA is about 3.0 and her SAT is around 1150/1600. She's pretty active in the community, has taken four years of Honors/AP English, and has won awards for her poetry. Cost, as far as I understand, isn't too great an obstacle.

Any ideas? :)

I would like to go to a top Business school/MBA program but I only have a 1-2 years of professional work experience. I have read that work experience is a very important admissions factor for MBA programs and the average student has around 4-5 years experience. I also read that most people who apply straight from undergraduate school have a harder time getting in. I haven't however; read how difficult it is to get in with 1-2 years of experience. I know it depends on the school but in general is 1-2 years of work experience a huge disadvantage when applying to Business school? Thanks

I want to eventually got to a brick and mortar collage in a few years. I just want to start a little now. I understand that UoP is a bad choice and I never even considered them. I want to know what most hiring employers think of online colleges. Also, if anyone knows which ones are legit and are worth it. Thank you to anyone who answers.

Basically, I need to make these two pieces stronger (vocabulary wise) and concise (no wordiness). Any other suggestions are welcome too. Please help me & thanks so muchhhh in advance!


Research Proposal

As a society, we are bound by the belief that love is one of the most sacred life forces. In fact, the relationship between the opposite sexes is based on appearance, attraction, fertility, and erotic love. I plan to prove that love was not only a beautiful aspect of life but also a dark aspect; causing deception, disrespect, and danger to early Greeks. I will research the myths of Aphrodite and analyze her behaviors to evaluate both sides of love; the beautiful and the dark side.

My Working Thesis

Early Greeks believed that love had limitations to its beauty and that beyond those limits, the emotion became dark, dangerous, and dreadful. For them, love was “two-faced”, being a necessity in life but also a danger.

distant learning programs are very good system, it gives the opportunity to people with busy schedule the chance of getting higher education and improve careers to make well educated community. But why there are few accredited universities that offer it. Why big and well known universities only offer in campus programs like, Stanford and Harvard University? But don’t offer online program? Is online education considered lower level?

I am a focussed and motivated student at Syracuse University. I have the chance to be a Finance, Accounting, and Entrepreneurship and Emerging Enterprises triple major in the Whitman School of Management, which is ranked 42nd in the country by BusinessWeek.com. Or, I have the choice to be a Public Relations, Television Radio Film (Management), or Advertising (Management) major in the SI Newhouse Communications School, which is one of the top schools in the country. Whichever choice I take, I feel may change my life down the road one way or another. I am not so passionate one way or the other about the subjects, I am just a focussed student. Which path do you think I would be better off taking? Should I transfer for Boston College if I get the chance? Please state your expertise or background when answering the question. Thanks so much for your help, this is one of the biggest decisions I will have to make. THANKS!

I can not decide if I want to be a teacher or an occupational therapist. Both are good careers, but I just can not decide. The careers both have the same qualities such as helping people. A job in education and a job in healthcare, how do I decide on which one? Any insight, advice, or suggestions?

After I graduate I'm planning to go to Grad school at another university. Should i go to the graduation ceremony for my bachelor's degree and then again later for my Masters? or just skip my bachelor's and go to only my masters ceremony? OR... i could go to my bachelor's ceremony but only invite my parents and brothers and then invite my relatives and friends to my masters ceremony.

who have applied to UC Irvine and are checking your status of admissions online? if so, when you try to log into the UCI site, does it go blank? Cause whenever I try to go in (starting today), it keeps on going blank. I fear that either it's my computer's problem or that it is a sign that I have been rejected. If anyone of you got accepted or just any of you who applied there, tell me if you have this kind of a problem.
