College 100 Assignment

College Fair Assignment
1.)
A public college: Santa Monica is a public college in California. They don’t look at PSAT scores and it’s only a two year college. It’s confidently located near. It has an excellent pre vet program with a 100% guarantee that students will transfer the number one ranked veterinarian college in the nation.

A private college: Holy Cross is a unique catholic college. They have open door chapel that is available to the students. One thing they do that you don’t usually find in colleges is that at midnight they serve breakfast to students during pre exam study periods.

A rural college: Bradley College is known for its sense of community. Even if you are involved in one activity you will get caught up in its sense of community. It also is known for its diversity and wide variety of student organizations.

A traditional college: University of Washington. Admission is so individualized that it is hard to tell whether a certain type of student will make it into the college, but this is cool because it shows they look at you as a person instead of a test score.

A small alternative college: Renton Technical College offers great programs for future jobs you can have almost instantly after completing their programs. The vet tech program is a good one because the instructor owns a clinic that students practice hands on work after office hours.

2.)

Major= Pre Veterinary

Santa Monica-
This college really stood out to me because it is only a two year college, yet it has a really good pre vet program. They guarantee a transfer to the top rated veterinarian college in the nation. This impressed me because once you are finish the pre vet program, you don’t have to worry as much about being excepted into a graduate school because its already guaranteed.

Rosemont College Biology
This college is excellent because they are more focused on career field I’m going into. They have internships; courses and training that I need to help me get into Veterinarian colleges in the United States, Canada and even over sees.

Washington State University
The pre vet program here is also a good one. This college is convenient because it is close to home and I’ll have good chance of transferring to a good veterinarian college.

If I were to choose Santa Monica over Washington State, it might affect my educational experience, because I know for a fact if I go to Santa Monica, I have a guarantee that I will transfer and be expected to a Veterinarian School. If I were to choose Washington State over Santa Monica, it might affect my educational experience because I of the wide variety of majors there might influence me to change my own major. If I choose Rosemont, I might experience programs or internships that aren’t necessary offered at Washington State of Santa Monica.

3.)
The workshop I attended talked about the financial part of college and the different pathways you can’t take to pay for college. They talked about grants, financial aid, and, and scholarships. They also talked about which loans were best for the type of situation you are in and way to pay back loans such as student employment.

4.)
The information at the college fair that was useful during the college fair was the fact that college representatives would take time and tell me how their pre vet programs differed then others, because many of them seemed the same to me, and when they took time to describe details about the program it interested me more in the school.

A question that was unanswered but soon found out later was how much tuition was at some of the schools I was interested in.

My next step is to find out more details on the colleges I was interested. I also would like to find out some of the math requirements, so I can plan what which classes I’m going to take in the future.
