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...

Everyone experiences culture shock when they start university (especially international students). Whatever school or college you come from, it is all new and unnerving. Don't worry, almost everyone quickly gets used to it. Here's some general advice to help you get started. - Arrive in good time to settle into your accommodation and meet housemates etc before you have to register. - Get yourself a diary and maps. A campus map is a must but you will need a ... more...

During you University career there will surely be a time when you are able to chose where you live and with whom. Sharing a house with friends can certainly be a lot of fun, however, if there are no basic agreements and rules between you then things can quickly fall apart. Here are a few tips I have learnt from experience to ensure an amicable living environment. The chances are that in the house you are moving to there are bedrooms of different sizes. A few may be relatively similar, how... 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...

The costs to go to college to get a decent education are costly. Today students are finding it hard to get a good education without first taking out a student loan. Evan more students face student loan consolidation at some point, so what are some solutions? Could the rich become the poor, and the poor become the rich? 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...

There are three major reasons that someone might take an interest in learning more about golf colleges. The most obvious reason is that the individual is a college student who is interested in pursuing an education in the field of golf. The second major reason is that the individual already has a degree or experience in golfing and wants to get a job at a golf college. And the third reason is that the individual works in some aspect of the industry that would be interested in marketing to people... more...

You know what textbook buy back is - wait in line, offer the university demigod your used textbook and hope they give you something for it. But have you ever heard of guaranteed textbook buy back? With a guarantee, you avoid keeping a book you don't need, and you don't have to stand in line wondering if your bookstore will have filled their quota for your book. Especially if the person in front of you has the same one. Standard Textbook Buy Back Jitters Don't you hate th... more...

A college textbook purchase can set you back hundreds of dollars. I have 3 great places to look for textbooks to avoid buying textbooks altogether. You may not know it, but you can often get textbooks for free. Learn these techniques for saving money in college, and use them over and over again. How I Took Classes - But I Didn't Buy Textbooks I recently finished an MBA, and those textbooks are not cheap! In one class, I had 3 textbooks, but I was able avoid buying 2 of them.

Easy ones first: it goes without saying that to receive the Michigan Promise Award you must be a resident of Michigan and be a high school graduate or hold a GED. Now the details. Make sure you take the Michigan Merit Exam starting in grade 11 in high school. Why your junior year? If you score below a Level 2 in any of the required areas, you can retake the exam during grade 12 and make up the difference. This gives you better odds (by taking the exam on two different occasions) to me... more...

You stand in line at your textbook sell back, you hand over your textbook, apparently the equivalent of solid silver just a few months ago. And then the clerk hands you a couple of twenties and says next. Read here why I stopped going to the textbook sell back on campus and made my own arrangements to sell my textbooks, and how you can get reference books for less. I wrote this article to convince you that any textbook sell back will benefit you more than keeping those books. And I offer ... more...

No doubt about it, applying to college can be quite tedious and boring. You have to get an application, fill it out, send letters of recommendation, write an essay, pay a fee, and finish all this on a deadline. A daunting proposition, when taken all at once. However, you shouldn't let these little barriers stop you from filling out that application to the school of your dreams. Let me tell you a story. The college I wound up attending had a very straightforward and quick appli... more...

Everyone knows that in order to get ahead in today's society, one needs an education, and an education itself may not be good enough. One needs an education from accredited colleges, or at least a diploma from one. There has been a huge movement within the last few years of people deciding to get that ever valuable piece of paper through online schools and universities. Overall, there is nothing really wrong with this. Many online degree programs are very good and defiantly offer co... more...

The old adage knowledge is power may be true. But unfortunately, knowledge itself doesn't seem to be enough, it needs to be certified with a little piece of paper stamped with an official looking seal. Without a degree, which can now be earned from an accredited online university, to many employers your knowledge is worthless. Today's competitive marketplace makes it difficult for even the most qualified individuals to get a job, and those who don't have a college degree, ... more...

It is strongly recommended that English college learning be advanced further through ESL (English as a Second Language) courses, which are now available online. It is also important that you physically visit the institute and interact with the staff to gain detailed information on their teaching methodologies, the type of study material provided and personal guidance, if any, provided by the distance learning college.
