On Campus Housing Proposal

(A study shows that the proximity of classes, the availability of learning groups, and the total involvement in college contributes to the academic success of students living on campus.)


As a University of Michigan student I believe that a proposal for an on campus housing should be taken into consideration. College is very important and a big step to many people. I believe those years should be lived to the fullest in the best possible way. In doing so, what better way than to have the on campus housing experience? Not only would students share this great experience but they would also benefit from it in many ways. The University of Michigan in Dearborn is already known as a great school throughout the nation, but I’m sure that if this proposal comes to life its popularity would only increase and eventually attract more students.
There are many positives to creating on campus housing. The dormitories are much closer to the classrooms. Students can simply walk to their classes without having to deal with our school’s parking problem. Most of the time I encounter the problem of being late for class due to this problem. So much time is wasted with trying to find a parking space that more than half of the time students are late for their class. This problem would be solved if we could just walk to class. Also students would be able to interact with each other a whole lot more. This would be a great way for people to make new friends. It would bring about the point for the whole college experience. By living on campus students will be exposed to more events and gatherings that bring people close and create friendships.
As I mentioned in the first paragraph, I am positive that the on campus housing would only increase the school’s popularity. I am most certain that it would only attract more students to our facility. This can be a benefit to the school because we would have more out of state students, therefore making more money for the school. Rent is extremely expensive nowadays and very hard to afford for college students that are already investing so much money in their education. By building the on campus housing, out of state students would have the choice of living without the high monthly costs and attend our great university.
Nowadays with our economical crisis, it is hard to spare money on almost anything. I live about forty minutes away from the university and the trip to the school and back uses up a lot of gas. With the ridiculous gasoline prices constantly moving up, it is tough to make such long trips everyday to class. I know I’m one of the many that encounter the same problem. This is another reason why the on campus housing would be beneficial to students.
I believe this would be a great investment on behalf of the school and the state of Michigan. If we do invest in this we will only benefit from it in every way. Students at the University can finally have the real college experience and feel the fantastic feeling of independent living. Our facility will overflow with students from all over the country and making our school more popular than ever before. If students start gathering together with clubs pertaining to the university and forming petitions to spread the word, perhaps we will have a chance to make this proposal work. Everyone needs to come together to achieve what is best for our education and needs as college students.

Proposal

I am currently a student at the University of Michigan in Dearborn and I believe that an on campus housing should be constructed as part of our great facility. I’m sure that students like me would find this very beneficial and convenient to many. I am very positive that this investment would be a great one.
If there is on campus housing it would be more feasible for out of state students to come to U of M Dearborn. It would also make students lives a lot easier if they could just live on campus and not have to commute from home or rent an apartment. This can be very beneficial to students because it would be better for socialization. Students can have better access to school resources when they need it, like walking to the library if they need to in the middle of the night to get a book or accessing the Internet. Also the parking problems would be less. Students could simply walk to class.

Nowadays everything is ridiculously expensive. With gas prices going sky high its tough to make multiple trips to school, work, and home. I live about forty minutes away from the University and driving to school and work is very tough because of the large amount of money I spend on such high gas. I face these challenges everyday and I'm sure many others do also.

This is just a few reasons why I belive this is a good investment on behalf of the state and school. If we invest in this we will only benefit from it. If students gather together and form a petition that can reach all student groups of our university perhaps we will have a chance to make this proposal work. Everyone needs to gather together to achieve what is best for our education and needs as college students.

Screen Capture

As i look at this screen shot I realize how far technology has truly gone. It no longer requires us to use a paper and pencil to write down our thoughts. Everything can be completed on the computer. Typing an essay is much different than actual writing. Shapes and forms are much different in a digital space. The multiple choices given for fonts and layouts make it easier for individuals to get their tasks done. We even have the world in front of us called the internet. The fact that we have such power in our hands sometimes can be frightning. We can accomplish multiple different things while composing. I can read up the news, listen to music, and finish my homework. As I go about composing my assignments I have multiple windows on my computer opened. I can't ever work on an assignment without drifting away from it with something else. I always like to keep myself updated on the daily news so I often have a window on the news opened as you can see on my screen shot. To better understand such digital composing processes, it is best to just navigate the web and look for new ways and ideas to improve writing through the computer.
