Many of us were told at a very early age that after high school we had to go to college. There was no if, ands, or buts about it. But then we get older and realize that maybe college just isn't for us. I know many high school juniors and seniors are probably working through this major life decision right now. It's hard to make a decision that may not seem like just your decision but your WHOLE FAMILY'S DECISION.I was the first in my family to go college and the only person in my family that graduated. I always knew I had to go to college it wasn't something that I was ever able to question. My family wanted me to go to college but I never realize how EXPENSIVE college really was. I went to a private school and dormed my first year. Tuition was over $30,000 and even though I received full financial aid I still had to find a way to pay thousands of dollars that year.

Ready to get a diploma? Need college money? Take a look at this, the second part of my tuition reimbursement article.Tuition reimbursement helps thousands of students every year, and it helped me. I have jotted down a few things you need to know as you get going on your college education.Release TimeA very cool benefit for you that often accompanies tuition reimbursement is release time. If you need to go to class during work hours, you will have to bring this up with the boss and work around your schedule. One friend received a job offer that included a 75% time commitment, to allow him to finish his degree during work time.In my case, I rarely needed release time, since I took evening classes. I did take some time here and there to study and to finish large assignments, but I used my time off for this.If you have trouble with the release time problem, remember you have two people to go to for accommodations, your boss and your professor. If you can't make a certain class, arrange for notes or call the prof beforehand. Need to reschedule a test? Suggest taking it at the university testing center, which most ... [more..]

Located 50 miles north of London, Cambridge is a fascinating mix: a historic medieval town that is the birthplace of some of the most recent scientific advances; a place with high-technology science parks and ancient cobbles, with bustling streets and tranquil green spaces. It has a mix of city life, with its pubs, clubs, music venues, restaurants; and at the same time it's small enough that you don't have to spend much money getting from place to place.Considered to be one of the oldest universities in the world, the University of Cambridge will be celebrating its 800th anniversary in 2009.

Online tuition has been with us now for a few years yet, in my experience, relatively few people have heard of this form of tutoring or, if they have, dismiss it lightly because of some of the bad press that it has received. The function of this article is to correct a few misinterpretations about online tuition and lessons conducted remotely.My personal experience is as the former director of a national tuition agency - one of the first to introduce internet or online tuition as we called it to the UK. I have also been an online tutor myself, providing intensive day courses in online search engine optimisation and website monetization via our online tuition service. Our tutoring business is now sold and I am retired, therefore I would like to feel that my advice here can be considered impartial.Here are the six main objections to online tuition and my standard responses."I want a human, not a machine" That's exactly what you will get - a human doing the tutoring. You will get the same sort of person over the internet whom you would have got if you had booked a face-to-face lesson."It's a bit ... weird" If that relates ... [more..]

In this article I am going to share some of the techniques that I usually advise my student during physics tuition lessons. These are going to be 4 simple techniques that will help you to study more effectively and save time.Firstly, set up a timetable for your study or revision. This should ideally be done throughout your education and just during examination time. This schedule will sort of allocate your time for consistent revisions and studies. Doing this will ensure that you spend your time effectively. However, it is important that you stick to the schedule. Initially it is going to take a lot of self discipline. As you go along, it should become a habit. It is important to schedule realistic time for your studies. For example, you should allocate enough time for subjects or topics that you find more difficult. Also, it is important to allow time for recreation and social activities.

This is an important technique for people with low concentration span. If you ... [more..]

In fact, according to recent figures from the National Center for College and University Admissions more than 50% of all students make at least one switch.Compounding matters is the reality that many college curriculums today require very specific courses in order to graduate.

Unfortunately, that means many students are taking longer and longer to graduate and you know what that adds up to---more tuition bills!Investing the time now, before you head off to college, can help you avoid the anguish of switching programs and the real cost of those extra semesters. In order to find the right major you've got to find the right career area for you. Once you do that, it's easy to learn what college majors are the best preparation for ... [more..]
