Enrolling in college courses at Brunswick High School can help students achieve their desired level in their career not only quicker, but also, more cheaply and more efficiently. A lot of students are rising through the High School hierarchy. Almost all students would like college to be as quick and easy as possible. One solution to this problem is taking college courses and earning college credits in high school. At BHS, college courses should be made more available because it can make college a lot cheaper, a lot shorter and students can gain crucial knowledge about their desired field of work before they enter the real world.
Making college courses more available at Brunswick High School, can make college as a whole, more affordable. For example, a student that enrolls in Post-Secondary Classes can earn college credits in high school without having to pay the outrageous cost of those same classes in college. The more money you can save in college the better, a lot of students need a surplus of money, and taking some college classes in high school will allow a student to have this abundance of money. Having extra money can really help a student get through college. The students in college need money for things like, dorm fees, book fees, transportation and many other costly things. This portion of an article written shows that not only tuition is expensive but a students attending college would need a good amount of spending money, “Going to college is an expensive venture. While tuition costs are clearly printed on schools' websites and in catalogs, the amount of spending money a college student needs may be difficult to determine.” (Karen Frasier) college funding can really add up.

Tuition helps to pay for all of the services and programs of a University. However, some universities put more money into one or two programs or colleges to make them stronger areas of study within the university. Not all colleges or departments throughout a university have the same quality of classes or facilities. For example, Iowa State University invests a great deal of their money in the engineering and agricultural programs and so increases the quality of those programs. This is how students choose which university is best for them. A student bases his decision on what college to attend by looking at what programs a particular universit...
Throughout this course, topics such as the transition from high school to college, learning skills, self-discovery, and career exploration have been discussed. Conversations occurred concerning the challenges and benefits of private and public colleges as well as the transition from high school to college. We also talked about our strengths and weaknesses while studying. Finally we talked about the jobs that we wanted, and the jobs we would be good at. During the rest of this paper, I will go into more detail about the topics we discussed; and go more in detail with what I learned.
The fairly recent idea of “college for all” is not practical for every student, and the rigor and push toward college has led to a curriculum that is irrelevant for many young people. As a result, we have seen an increase in drop-out rates for at-risk students over the last several years ("Completion, Graduation, and Dropouts."). HB5 is critical in the realm of social welfare. It moves us toward giving all students the opportunity to graduate high school, and recognizes that each student is unique, with different learning styles, and have different goals in life. It sends the message that all professions are valued in our society, not only the careers that require college degrees.

Money, Money and more Money. Let’s admit, it 's all we think about and it 's also vital to our survival. When we hear the word "college" the first thing that pops into most people’s minds is money and debt. Of course college means money, but it really means money on both sides. You pay people money so you can get more money later. Sounds
Attending college has changed quite a lot over the years. When it first arose, it was only accessible to the wealthy, and it was unheard of for everyone else. Only a few decades ago, a bachelor's degree could almost guarantee a comfortable job, and it was another advantage to any resume. In our current times, many students struggle and are unable to go to college due to the rising price tag that is not showing any signs of slowing down. A college degree is what most employers look for now-a-day, making it more essential than ever before.
Within recent decades, college has become a more easily available path than it has been for the past generations. In a current news release, The Bureau of Labor Statistics stated that, “Of the 2.9 million youth age 16 to 24 who graduated from high school between January and October 2014, about 68.4 percent were enrolled in college in October” (BLS Economic News Release from April 2015). When a student graduates high school, most of them intend to continue on to college. They have the idea that, while there, they can break away from all the general classes and just focus on what they want to learn. However, for almost all students, they find that this is not the reality. Just like high school, they find that they have to take approximately two years in general studies in order to attend and graduate with the major of their choice. General education classes should not be required because a majority of the information learned has already been covered in past years. Most of the courses do not benefit a student 's major, and the total amount of required hours for these classes can become a big waste of time and money.
All or most of us have gone through it. The countless hours we spent filling out college applications, scholarship applications, visiting colleges, and taking the dreaded tests. Whether it was the PSAT, SAT, ACT, or other college entrance exams, it was a big hassle. After visiting such a great number of colleges, the advantages and disadvantages of the schools seemed to run together in my mind. The endless paper work and deadlines seemed as though they would never end. When I thought about college, it seemed like it was not real, like it was a figment of my imagination. I imagined what it would be like, wondering where I would go. The questions of "What did I want to major in?" and after I decided that, "What schools had my major?" circled around in my head. When filling out questionnaires for college searches I was asked about what size college I preferred, whether I wanted to be in a rural or suburban area. Did I really know how to answer these questions that would so greatly affect the next four years of my life?
Money is the main concern for some people. It is a crucial necessity for anyone who is trying to succeed in life. Many believe that the only way to succeed is to have a lot of money. For this type of person, achieving success starts with going to a good college.
Finally the biggest difference between high school and college is aid toward becoming better prepared for the new material.
High school and college are very dissimilar. There are the main differences and then there are differences that aren't very distinct. These differences include homework, teacher-student relationships, and attendance policies. In this paper I will discuss the major and minor differences between high school and college. I will also explain why responsibility is a very important factor in high school and college.

Schooling is a very important aspect in our lives and one must go through many steps to gain a higher education. Two of these steps are high school and college. Although high school and college students aim for the same goal, which is acquiring an education and graduating, the demands, expectations, and social atmosphere extremely contrast.
When students are deciding on where to go to college, they have the option of choosing between online classes and the traditional classroom classes. Today, some students are finding it much easier to maintain a job, family and start a college career, all by taking online classes. Although some students still prefer to stick with the traditional classroom classes, they still have the option to take online classes. Both online and the traditional classes will provide the educational requirements needed to obtain a college degree and opportunities in the work field. Although the online classes offer just as much as the traditional classes, they are completely different when it comes to teaching methods, course material and time.
