Teachers and Students

College can be a time of partying, sport playing, and leisure. Unfortunately, I also have to study and be in frequent contact with both students and teachers. Many people don't take close note of the atmosphere a certain college has when they visit it. They don't notice that the teachers are sulky and don't care about the students, because they are too busy looking at the college's pub, and recreation room. The truth is that the teachers and the students make up as much, if not more of the college than the facilities, and extra-curricular activities. I don't want to go to a college where there's a great place to play billiards, but where the students are rowdy and careless, and the teachers don't put effort into their classes. I want to attend a college that has a good balance between the two. I want to have a memorable college life, but I can't lose track of why I'm in college in the first place: to get an education. I want to leave college with a medical degree, not a talent in billiards, and partying. I want to go to a college which has extra-curricular activities that support my main goals, not hinder them. The perfect college will take a lot of research finding. There is light in the tunnel, and hopefully, this tunnel has a good ending to it.

  1. You should make sure the teachers are good. I never actually thought of that, but I guess it's kind of hard to check to see if you'll have good teachers when visiting a college or before you decide to go there. Especially in public colleges. There are so many teachers that if one of them is skulky and rude, it doesn't mean that all of the rest are. They could all be nice. I guess I can't really judge that so too bad. :(
