College Residence Life Staff: Speak to Gain Respect


When you speak, do residents listen or ignore you? If you?re having trouble commanding respect, it could be the way you?re saying it. Here is a list of words that can sabotage your effectiveness as a communicator. See if you recognize any of these red flags in your speech:

Reducing the Administrative Burden for Further Education Colleges


The introduction of the Government?s Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA) in September 2004 meant that more young people from poorer backgrounds could afford to stay on in further education instead of being forced to find work.

Creating the Acceptable College Applicant


America?s colleges and universities no longer have enough room to accommodate all the qualified students who apply. As a result, schools are forced to reject far more applicants than they accept. The goal of admissions committees is to weed out the qualified masses and fill their halls with resourceful, well-rounded acceptable students. In today?s highly competitive college admissions process, knowing how to present a student to be acceptable not only substantially increases the chances of being admitted, but is an essential factor for success after college.

Tips On College Selection


It is highly recommended that early in the college selection process, parents and student(s) visit some schools to determine if they?ll be suitable. The criteria that must be considered before any college is applied to include:

Writing The All-Important College Application Essay


The application essay is the most crucial piece of writing the student will submit to the colleges, and, if not done impressively, it will also be their last. In most cases, it is the college?s first actual exposure to the student, and first impressions have a habit of lasting. A memorable essay contains all the student?s Kodak moments interlaced with some less than blissful adventures to create the necessary drama in the writing.

Most Colleges Require Letters Of Recommendation


I cannot overemphasize the importance of developing strong relationships with high school teachers and counselors as early as possible. An extremely well written, all-telling letter can absolutely make the difference of being accepted or rejected to any college.
