Classes from many different departments occur in the Skinner lecture hall. Over the course of their academic careers at the university, most students take at least one class in the Skinner Building. Junior Communication major, Devon Hoffman, takes the majority of her courses in the Skinner Building and “always thought that Skinner had a career in Communications.” She now believes that “the collection of departments housed in the Skinner Building are not a good representation of the professional career of Skinner.” Of the current departments based in the Skinner Building, the Department of Nutrition and Food Science is the closest representation of Skinner’s background in agricultural chemistry, because it is a part of the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources.
Since America’s college system began, someone has had the responsibility of deciding who gets into a college and who does not. Colleges and universities must draw the line somewhere as to who has the opportunity to become more educated and who gets a full-time job at McDonald’s. This decision-making process has always been a difficult job and has become even more difficult in recent years as competition in higher education gets tougher. College admissions departments have come up with a system which combines indicators such as standardized test scores, high school class rank, grade point average, and essays. Different schools put different amounts of emphasis on these gauges but most use some mixture of them.
Dear Marco: I write you this letter because I know that you are looking another type of university which name is PCC (Pensacola Christian College). I read about this university and in my point of view, I am completely disagreeing with the university and even more with the rules, we know that you like so much the parties but if you can see the rules of the university, they have several restrictions which for example you can not drink on the campus or off campus even though you are over 21 years old.
Every year there are thousands of students planning and tracking their goals. Seniors in high school are faced with the tough challenge, while the Juniors are left to worry another year. Finally, the point comes a student’s life where they must make one of the most important decisions in their educational lifetime. That choice is, which college to attend, and it is a very scrutinous process. Two of such colleges are the University of Iowa and St. Ambrose University, and although similarities like majors and minors are evident, there are many other differences including student life.

The right and privilege to higher education in today’s society teeters like the scales of justice. In reading Andrew Delbanco’s, “College: What It Was, Is, and Should Be, it is apparent that Delbanco believes that the main role of college is to accommodate that needs of all students in providing opportunities to discover individual passions and dreams while furthering and enhancing the economic strength of the nation. Additionally, Delbanco also views college as more than just a time to prepare for a job in the future but a way in which students and young adults can prepare for their future lives so they are meaningful and purposeful. Even more important is the role that college will play in helping and guiding students to learn how to accept alternate point of views and the importance that differing views play in a democratic society. With that said, the issue is not the importance that higher education plays in society, but exactly who should pay the costly price tag of higher education is a raging debate in all social classes, cultures, socioeconomic groups and races.
