People move into halls or houses with friends and prepare for the year ahead, which is likely to involve the occasional lecture and seminar but also plenty of socialising. For those people who have recently graduated and will not be going back to the student life for the first time in at least three years, things can be more difficult than first thought. It can be hard to here friends talking about goin... more...

The internet has provided us with an unsurpassable amount of information and globalization. One of the major advancements from the traditional methods has been the methods of education. Strangely enough, and all seemingly at once, a ton of online courses just sprouted from nowhere, offing degrees accredited by their "university". This has made education an easy endeavor for those who were otherwise busy or could not afford to do so. This low cost method of education has brought us a new ... more...

The recent downturn in the economy has many people playing armchair quarterback over decisions made by the Federal Reserve during the last few years. These guys are supposed to be geniuses when it comes to economics, right? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to recognize that there may have been errors in judgment regarding interest rates and home financing. Think you could do better than Bernanke or Greenspan? Don't even think about being considered for such a high ranking positi... more...

There is no doubt that employers' attitudes regarding an associate degree are changing, but there is still a fair amount of prejudice to overcome. For example, in a recent survey, just over a quarter of employers saw an associate degree earned online or in a regular classroom as a credible academic credential. The vast majority, 61 percent of those polled, viewed an online associate degree as somewhat less valuable than one earned through physically attending a college or university, but st... more...

There are those who are born to teach. That is their one and only dream in life to become an educator, a teacher. Money has nothing to do with this dream, we all know that teachers are overworked and underpaid. Still, teaching is the only thing that will fulfill the lives of born teachers. In order to become an educator, however, one must first obtain a college degree, which is a lot easier said than done. Attending a brick and mortar college or university and getting a degree that allows... more...

St. Edward's University in South Austin was established in the late 1800s when Mrs. Mary Doyle bequeathed her 498 acre South Austin farm to the Catholic Church and Father Edward Sorin of the Congregation of the Holy Cross for the formation of an institution of higher learning. Father Sorin was also the founder of Notre Dame University, and had an illustrious and accomplished background. In 1878, the school's first year, the students were comprised of three school boys who met i... more...

It's an age old question when one considers how best to get ahead in their career: should I just concentrate on getting more relevant experience? should I beef up my academic qualifications? do I need a bit of both? The answer is it depends, though it is also fair to say that having an associated masters degree in whatever field you're working would never do you any harm. The field of design (and all its associated sub-sections is no different) and one can add the crucial qualifier th... more...

University or TAFE? It is the great debate of higher education in Australia -- an increasingly complex and sometimes difficult choice to make when deciding which direction to head for further studies. When it comes to practicality, TAFE is often more popular than university with students spending more time on campus in studios than lecture theatres. 21-year-old Mariana Fataccioli studied a year of creative industries at university before changing to a Diploma of Applied Fashion De... more...

Acceptance to top tier colleges will be tougher in 2009 than in any other prior year in history. The population bubble combined with the Common Application -- which allows students from around the world to apply online -- add up to a year that breaks records. In this competitive admissions climate many students are tempted to "fudge the facts" just a little bit on their applications. DON'T DO IT. Colleges are beginning to check applicant's credentials. It leaked a few y... more...

With September approaching, many people are preparing to take the new and exciting step into University life. Being a recent graduate myself, I thought I would take a trip down memory lane and give people essential advice for surviving the transition to student land. It is most likely that if you are going to University for the first time, you will be living in student accommodation. Obviously with so many students staying in so many rooms, your place of residence is not going to be the ... more...

An education is an important thing for anybody. Without a college education, even a high school education, there are very few jobs out there that will offer you the financial stability needed for your future. An education for single moms is especially important because not only do you have to fend for yourself financially, but you also have one or maybe more children to take care of. Juggling a job and trying to take care of the children at the same time can be a daunting process, and it is i... more...

Could those in education today, find they are more in debt than those who simply went to work out of high school? These are big concerns, and as more students have a need t... more...
