Download or read book Should I Go to College written by Chris Davis and published by . This book was released on 2019-08-29 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Should you go to college?Definitely maybe. For me I don't think there was ever a time when I considered not going to college. Once I started working in higher education, I discovered that college is not the same experience for everyone. Different colleges offer different experiences for students. Students are not all fresh out of high school like I was. Most students today are over 25 years old often with full-time jobs and families. Even for students coming out of high school, increasingly they are the first in their families to go to college. Only about 60% of students who start college finish within 6 years. That rate varies by institution, but I think part of the problem are students who start college when they shouldn't or without a clear understanding of the purpose of college. No one plans to fail. In the last few years, there has been an explosion of books about why people should not go to college. Mostly written by people who did go to college, they claim that college is no longer worth the cost and that today anyone can learn anything worth learning online for free. Respectfully, I don't think that these writers have a full understanding of what college is and what it is not. I agree that for some people, learning online or through other non-college programs is the better path, but how do you know?College is expensive in terms of money but even more in terms of time and energy. My goal in writing this book is to help people make a more informed decision about whether they should go to college, and if so, how to decide where to go and what to study. This book draws on my experience as a professor and administrator at a variety of colleges and universities. I have consulted and talked to students, faculty, and staff at faith-based religious colleges, community colleges, state universities, and research universities. Based on the conversations I have had over the years, I answer the following questions in the book: Should I go to college?Where should I go?What should I study?How do I pay for college?How do I increase my chances of success?Should I go to grad school?What are the alternatives to going to college?If you are looking for a book that will tell you which Ivy league college is best or how to get into one, this book is not for you. If you are a non-traditional student over the age of 25, and/or the first in your family to consider going to college, and/or you have concerns about whether a college degree is worth the time and money, then this book will help you answer those questions. My goal is to help people make an informed decision about whether college is the right choice for them right now, and how to make smart choices if they do go to college. The choice to go to college, where to go, and what to study is a personal decision. There are no universal answers or advice that is true for everyone. What I do is give you enough information to make informed decisions for yourself

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The decision to go to graduate school is easy for future doctors and lawyers: they need a professional degree to start their careers. But for many young creative workers, aspiring artists, and intellectuals, grad school poses an existential fork in the road. An MFA or a humanities PHD can give you time to study something you love among people with similar interests, but it can also uproot you geographically and saddle you with debt. Given the current job market, is grad school really worth it- financially, professionally, and emotionally? In this book, a wide range of intellectuals and creative types share their stories about going to grad school or avoiding it, and what that decision has meant in their lives. They provide an inside look at what graduate programs are really like and share the wisdom they wish they had going in. -- Publisher description

This book was released on 2017-05-16 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dirty secret colleges and universities keep hidden is that between 40% and 60% of college freshmen don't graduate. Despite the best efforts of colleges to create environments that engage and embrace these students, 30% drop out after their first year. These aren't dumb students, they are usually students who are underperforming. If you aren't accomplishing what you are capable of accomplishing this book will help you figure out why and then develop a plan of attack to change keystone habits that will put you on the path to success. Students who end their freshman year with a grade point average (GPA) between 2.0 and 3.0 are often called the "Murky Middle" and labeled "At Risk Students." They are in danger of failing out of college or dropping out of college. Inside Higher Ed reports that students who end their first year with a GPA below a 2.0 only have a 12% chance of graduating. Students with a GPA between 2.0 and 2.2 have a 32% chance of graduating. The good news is you can turn your academic career around. Even if you ended your first year with a 2.0 or lower it is not only possible to graduate, it is possible for you to graduate with a 4.0. You just need to understand how the academic system works and stop using time honored study habits that just don't cut it in college today. This book helps you find what is keeping you from living up to your potential, offers you worksheets and checklists to help you define a new path, shows you how to use a three-tier SMART goal setting process to focus your energy, and it helps you identify and change habits that are prevent you from being successful. The best part is you can do all of this, change your GPA, graduate with honors, and still have plenty of time to socialize with friends, be involved in co-curricular and extra-curricular activities, get internships, study abroad, and even watch TV. This book is more than just a book on study skills (although study skills are covered). This book helps people manage resources like time, energy, and sleep. The book and teaches you to leverage the people on campus who are there to help you be successful. But most importantly, it helps you figure out where things are going wrong. If you need to turn your academic career around this book will show you how. All you have to do is be willing to change the way you are currently approaching college and follow the guidance offered in this book. The author has spent nearly 30 years teaching at colleges and universities. He taught at schools with under 1,000 students to nearly 30,000 students, from a private religious college to a military university, community colleges to graduate programs. In each of those schools he coached and mentored students to success. He shares what he has learned in this book in plain, simple, easy to understand language. His no-nonsense approach is refreshing and fun. Everything he offers is based on empirical research and his own experiences. Perhaps even more important Dr. Todd Holm was one of those students who ended his sophomore year with a GPA just barely above a 2.0, but made the Dean's List his last three semesters. He knows what it is like to be that student and how to turn it around from both a student's perspective and a faculty member's perspective. If anyone has the experience and skills that it takes to turn your academic life around it is Dr. Todd Holm. If college was a video game this is the cheatbook that teaches you how to hit the hidden reset button without losing everything you have accomplished this far. Hit the reset button on your academic career.

Download or read book Your Guide to Succeed in University written by Aly Madhavji and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-08-27 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to succeed in university or college? Every student wants to know; every student tries to discover his/her own strategies to succeed - some work, some don't. Becoming successful in university sometimes feels like trial and error - with potentially serious consequences for failures. The goal of this guide - Your Guide to Succeed in University - is to help students in university and college to become confident, well-rounded and successful in their overall education experience. This guide aims to equip you - the students - with the necessary tools for success in university and college. This guide will help students with topics such as building a solid foundation in the first few weeks, efficient techniques for studying and preparing for exams, getting involved, finding the right mentors, networking, job searching with potential employers and preparing for a successful career. --- Extended description Do you ever wonder why most alumni or adults say, "University was the best years of my life"? Regardless of what age you start university, when you finish, you should look back and share that similar feeling. University is about learning to explore, discovering who you are and who you want to be, and creating the foundation for a lifetime of successes. University is the place where I learnt to make the most of opportunities and became who I wanted to be. It made me aware that just attending university isn't a silver bullet to success, not unless you take control. The university experience will provide endless possibilities and opportunities, but it's up to you to take the first step. You will face a roller coaster of emotions. You'll feel excited and scared, challenged and stimulated, but when all is said and done, YOU determine how you want to look back on this experience. Starting university can be the most sensational experience of your life, but it can also be the most overwhelming. In fact, it can be downright scary if you do not equip yourself with a plan on how to navigate through university. That is why I wrote this guide. My goal is to not only share my experience and lessons learned, but, to channel this into a helpful guide that may help you adapt rapidly and efficiently navigate your university to ensure that you can make the most of the experience. This guide will not define success for you. You define success and you can start by creating personal goals. Take some time and think about where you want to be in a couple of years, when you graduate, and 10 years from now. You could have educational goals, career goals, salary aspirations, a list of activities to learn, family and other types of goals. Try writing these goals down and revisit them every couple months to see how you're doing. By taking the first step of writing them down, it shows that you are committed to making these goals a reality. This guide will discuss topics ranging from what you'll experience in your first few weeks of university, to how to find a mentor, to networking and post-graduation. At the end, there is a summary of the main takeaways and the top 10 themes. This guide will help you get through the tough times and excel in the good times of university to achieve your definition of success; it may even become your survival guide.
