...Hazing on the University of Illinois Campus: Brotherhood’s Most Dangerous Ritual? To what extent is hazing having a negative impact on the Greek System at American Universities and what is being done to combat this? Fraternities have always made it clear to potential recruits that the Greek System creates strong, powerful men, they aren’t wrong: the last 25 presidents, 18 of them have been fraternity men (Konnikova). These powerful, moral men may have found brotherhood, strength, and character in their fraternity, but they also were a part of a terrible practice that has been plaguing the United States campuses since the 1800s. Behind closed doors in dimly lit rooms, fraternity elders engage hazing activities of pledges. All throughout pledgeship,...

But on campuses across American, these indulgences have a more alarming side. For some of today’s college students, binge drinking as become the norm. This past February I headed to the University of Wisconsin-Madison, rated the No. 2 party school in the nation by the college guide Princeton Review, to see the party scene for myself. On Thursday night the weekend was already getting started. At a raucous off-campus gathering, 20-year-old Tracy Meddler struggled to down her beer as fist-pumping onlookers yelled. "Chug! Chug! Chug!" In the kitchen, sophomore Jeremy Budda drained his tenth beer, "I get real wasted on weekends," he explained. Nearby a 19-year-old estimated. "I’ll end up having 17,18 beers...

...Stress Students attending college are subjected to varying amounts of stress depending on what classes they enroll in from semester to semester. But the classes a student takes is not where the stress begins it really begins when a student even thinks about going to college. Then when they start registering for classes and applying for financial aid the stress level is multiplied. Another huge stress factor for students is also when they must live on campus away from home for the first time and around complete strangers. Yet even another high stress factor for college students is trying to maintain a high grade point average. Before a student is able to enroll into the classes that they want, they have to stress over the application process of the college that they want to attend. The prospective student has to fill out a mountain of paperwork that is contained in the college packet. At some colleges students even have to write an essay along with their application. Even after all this paperwork there is still the overwhelming amount of paperwork required for applying for financial aid to complete. After the packets of paperwork for admissions and for financial aid are completed there is still the long drawn out process of waiting for a response from the student’s college of choice to contact them to let them know if they have been accepted into the school and if they have been approved for financial aid. Each day that the potential student has to wait seems like an eternity...

...College Students Expenses By Anne Jones Going to a top college can be hard because it is really costly. A student and his family must be prepared by all means to keep this commitment to further a student's education. So awareness of how much your college education would be is critical because it is not limited to tuition fees. There can be more expenses to be expected when a student goes to college. Let us look at the general list of what a student pays in college. First would be tuition fee. Tuition fees can be at the range of $6000 - $25,000 for a four year course. Take note that public colleges have smaller tuition fees than private colleges. So look to this as an option. Second would be living in colleges. A student in college usually would try to find work in between to cover the cost of living. It is something that should be considered before going to college because you have to think of things like rent, food, bills and other travel costs. A common student would need an average of $1,000 extra for these extra expenses. Third are the materials you need to study. These are the givens like books, bags, IT equipment and could cost to at least $2,000 a year. So it is important to be able to budget before you go to college. Make sure you leave yourself some extra money monthly for self use. Try to find a monthly average of your expenses so you could allocate your funds accordingly. Going to college is a big investment but in the long run the education you get would allow...

...English 100 9/23/13 Cause Essay Why I’m Joining the Marine Corps Once this semester is over I will be leaving for Marine boot camp in Parris Island, South Carolina. There are many reasons of why this decision is made by myself and many other Americans across the nation. The Corps provides many valuable benefits and is a great experience for young men and women and can lead to many job opportunities in the future. Pride is a word generated as soon as you become an athlete or even put in effort to your school, work when you are young. In today’s society some American’s strive to do something that is bigger than them the Marine Corps assists in providing that. The pride of belonging to the Marines is something great and that can never be taken away from an individual who has been apart of this great fighting force. They say “Once a Marine, always a Marine” unlike a lot of other branches of military. When someone retires from the air force for example they usually just tell people “I was in the military.” Also in no way, shape, or form am I saying the Marines are above everyone else, it’s great to be in the service, and protect your country, that was just an example of what I have heard from past veterans. The Marines provide the toughest, most intense boot camp out of all of the different branches, the twelve and a half week transformation brings out a whole new warrior and ultimately a better person than what you were before. When you get out of boot camp you feel...

...Tonya Smith English 10 B03 Dr. Sutton Product Review Essay Advantage of Technical Colleges Students and family’s today struggle when it comes to the financial requirements and proper fit as these relate to higher education. Many families have begun to plan for their children’s future education as early as from birth. While planning ahead is always best, the cost of higher education continues to increase which tends to still leave these families struggling to provide advanced education for their children. The expense of four year colleges has placed the option of attending these institutes out of reach for most students even where advanced financial planning was in place. More and more high school graduates are exploring the option of technical schools for continued education. Technical colleges offer lower costs, smaller class sizes and more access to professors making them more appealing to transitioning students. Technical colleges provide a great economic option for young men and women that choose to continue their education beyond high school. The majority of technical schools offer a variety of degree and certificate programs which can be completed in two years or less. These programs equip the students with the ability to obtain an education or training in a short period of time providing them the opportunity for employment in their field of study. Students are able to obtain these skills in less time and for a fraction of what a four year college degree...
