The following is 3 different colleges that I have looked at in the past 2 years and are going to be the examples of what I think are great options for good universities to go to. Oregon State University The first college I have in mind for my future is OSU. Oregon State is a public school and funded by the government. OSU is a very well-rounded school in Corvallis Oregon which is only about ten minutes from here but about 50 minutes from my home in Dallas. For living purposes it would probably be easier to live on campus because of the drive. It is considered a very safe environment. The total number of students is 30,058 with 25,075 of them being undergraduate students. OSU is incredibly well known for their engineering …show more content…

George Fox offers 40 majors and 45 minors to all undergraduate students. As well as a few other majors for graduate students. The average high school GPA going into George Fox is 3.59 and the average SAT test score is 1,616. One extra thing that is not usually required is they will specifically ask to see your SAT score for your application which in most public schools is just a recommendation. The acceptance rate at GF is 76.4% and the average freshman retention rate is 82%. One of the most important facts however is the graduation rate which is 54%! 54.7% of all the classes offered at George Fox are 20 people or fewer and only 4% of classes have more than 50 people which means a LOT more of a relationship between faculty and students, which by the way the ratio is 14:1. Also another interesting fact about George Fox University is that they have absolutely no fraternities or sororities. The 4-year graduation rate of George Fox University is 54% and the 6-year graduation rate is 69%. But almost 2nd behind the graduation rate for some extreme kids are sports. George Fox has 17 different sports teams just the same as OSU. George Fox is in the NCAA division 3 league for sports. The most recent addition to all the sports was …show more content…

Most well-known for its great football program. The university consists of 20,559 undergraduate students on a 295 acre campus. Although I must say right off the bat I am indeed a ducks fan, but I of all people know that the area of the campus is not the best and there is a bit of a crime area from being there and Otis will definitely back me up. The University of Oregon is located in Eugene, Oregon which is about 1 hour and 22 minutes away and that is not going to happen. Living that far away and would have to live on campus to go to school. Oregon has an acceptance rate of 74.9%. Requirements are very similar to Oregon State University in that you must graduate high school with 15 passing classes. 48% of the students at University of Oregon are male and 52% of students on campus are female with 20% of all the students living on campus. There are 30 different fraternities and sororities on campus as well with a freshmen retention rate of

To begin with, Salzberg makes a seemly unresearched claim, he claims that  “Our universities are providing a free training ground for the super-wealthy owners of professional football teams, while getting little in return”(Salzberg 1). In this quote, he states that universities get little in return, but if one does a little research, the reader can see universities receive a great amount of benefits. For example, colleges can receive money from games in their stadiums whether they win or lose from tickets, concussions, players, and etc. The sports department is a big money makers in universities, not to mention colleges can also can gain publicity, if a player gets famous off the college’s team.

Their success has a lot to do with Pickens’ sizable contribution to its academic and athletic facilities. His first gift came on December 30, 2005, with a donation of $165 million to OSU. All profits of the fund go to enlarging the gift (Allen and Gundy 75). The gift was intended to help fund the upgrade of the football stadium and construction of an athletic village(“About T. Boone Pickens’). Pickens’ gift remains to be the largest donation to a university’s athletic program in collegiate history(Allens and Gundy 110).

Recruiting is an important factor in any college sport but most definitely in football. With HBCU football programs possessing a negative image this unfortunately veers young athletes to take another route. People don’t want to watch 1 star athletes play football, harsh statement but true in its validity. HBCU football programs are starting to appear on TV more than it has in the past and this is a great thing to see as an HBCU football player. We understand we aren’t the most popular but we’re doing the same thing they’re doing just not in the spot

Alongside Texas State University Contrary to popular belief, Texas State isn’t all of what the stereotypes claims it is. The stereotypes associated with Texas State such as being a party school, not being intensive, and being composed of a nonchalant student body attribute to a “second class” standard when compared to other schools such as University of Texas and Texas A&M University. This is inaccurate, because it’s being compared to the top ranked schools, so obviously it doesn’t stand alongside theses schools with as high of an opinion. Texas State can absolutely hold its ground if compared to other universities in Texas that are ranked around the same numbers as it is itself. Texas State being known as of as a party school has been an inescapable stereotype that the university
