What makes an university a better school should the number of students be taken into consideration?
I kinda want to attend this suburban college Governors State U.as oppsed to UIC (university of ilinois at Chicago which is a really big school) but GSU only have approx. 6000 students considering this school is only an upper level division that means that you can only transfer in as a junior and up or have completed an Associates at another institution. Which school would be best Uic had about 60 students a class Gsu had approx 15 students a class. Which would be a better option should i worry about the enrollement in these schools

It's not that the size of a university has anything to do with how good it is, in general. It's how well that university fits you, personally, and size is definately a consideration. If you feel that U Illinois Chicago is simply too big for you, and that GSU is a better fit because it is smaller, than that's a completely valid choice, and you're probably right. Go with your gut. So long as both schools are respectable and appropriately accredited, and GSU offers what you want, then go there.

The number of students that go to a school matters less than the number of students per class. Smaller classes mean more attention and help. I would talk with the admissions people at Governor's State and see if your completed credits will transfer. Most schools are really picky about what they will accept. If the school you received your associates degree from is a nationally accredited institution and the school you are trying to go to is regionally accredited you have little to no chance to transfer your credits. The plus to big schools is that more people are familiar with them and a future employer would have some name recognition. Good luck!

Whatever is cheaper! It also depends on your program of study.....my sisters O.T. (occupational therapy) classes only had 4 students in it. I went to the biggest university of my state and there were 60+ students in general courses and about 20+ students in my program of study. Your professors are still going to be just as available to you for any needs, concerns or questions. I attended a junior college that had about 25 students and I found that they were worse behaved than the university students. Also, most professors do not tolerate excessive noise and disruption in classrooms so you shouldn't worry that your education will be sacrificed or ruined.

I vote for smaller is better. With 15 people in a class everyone has to be prepared because you really can't hide. The prof will know your name (great for when you need a letter of recommendation), you should get really interesting discussions and you will learn from your peers. Not to mention you will be more challenged because you will have to think on your feet and be able to explain your answers to the class. Great preparation for the work place or grad school!
5
Look at the variety of classes offered in your field. UIC probably has more choices. GSU probably gives more individual attention. (This may vary with the major.) Also make sure that the classes will "make" (have enough students to be worth actually teaching the class) and that you will be able to line up classes to graduate on your schedule. Beyond that, go with whichever you feel more comfortable with. For undergraduate the degree is more important than the school.

As I cannot speak for other schools, I am an Undergraduate at DePaul University, and with the information you provided I would say that you would be a likely candidate for admission. The next step for you would just be to make sure that it is a school that will meet the needs of your program of choice and begin the application process. Need any more help, just ask. Thanks!

Obama is a big fat liar?
Obama is a big fat liar?
Another Obama lie. Why did Obama lie about being a law school professor in constitutional law at the University of Chicago during his senate race for Illinois at 2004. How can he honestly become president if he has to make up lies to become the senator of Ilinois? Maybe this is another proof that he has been trying to cover up the fact that he is incompetent his entire political career. Here is a credible source: http://blogs.suntimes.com/sweet/2008/03/sweet_obama_did_hold_the_title.html Pathetic. Trying to deny the truth. Additional comments- big fat liar is an expression for some of you who are unaware. it does not refer to Obama being "big" or "fat. If you still think I am a liar...this story will come up all over google. The actual website I chose for a source really doesn't matter....because it's the same report.......

Figures lie and liars figure. You're figuring. From 1992 until his election to the U.S. Senate in 2004, Barack Obama served as a professor in the Law School. He was a Lecturer from 1992 to 1996. He was a Senior Lecturer from 1996 to 2004, during which time he taught three courses per year. Senior Lecturers are considered to be members of the Law School faculty and are regarded as professors, although not full-time or tenure-track.

Obama isn't qualified Lawfully , to be President. The following came from a USNA alumnus. It'll be interesting to see how the media handles this... Barack Obama is not a legal U.S. natural-born citizen according to the law on the books at the time of his birth, which falls between December 24, 1952, to November 13, 1986. Federal Law requires that the office of President requires a natural-born citizen if the child was not born to two U.S. Citizen parents. This is what exempts John McCain, though he was born in the US Panama Canal Zone. US Law very clearly states: '. . . If only one parent is a U.S. Citizen at the time of one's birth, that parent must have resided in the United States for minimum ten years, five of which must be after the age of 16.' Barack Obama's father was not a U.S. Citizen is a fact. Obama's mother was only 18 when Obama was born. This means even though she had been a U.S. Citizen for 10 years, (or citizen of Hawaii being a territory), his mother fails the test for at-least-5-years- prior-to Barack Obama's birth, but-after-age-16. In essence, Mother alone is not old enough to qualify her son for automatic U.S. Citizenship. At most, 2 years elapsed from his mother turning 16 to the time of Barack Obama's birth when she was 18. His mother would have needed to have been 16 + 5 = 21 years old at the time of Barack Obama's birth for him to be a natural-born citizen. Barack Obama was already 3 years old at the time his mother would have needed to be to allow him natural citizenship from his only U.S. Citizen parent. Obama should have been naturalized as a citizen . . . but that would disqualify him from holding the office. The Constitution clearly declares: Naturalized citizens are ineligible to hold the office of President. Though Barack Obama was sent back to Hawaii at age 10, any other information does not matter because his mother is the one who must fulfill the requirement to be a U.S. Citzen for 10 years prior to his birth on August 4, 1961, with 5 of those years being after age 16. Further, Obama may have had to have remained in the USA for some time frame to protect any citizenship he might have had, rather than living in Indonesia. This is very clear cut and a glaring violation of U.S. Election law.

The public does not care. the public has been confused and no longer can tell the difference between right and wrong, good and evil or normal and abnormal. They are teaching our kids in school that homosexuality and cross-dressing is normal and healthy and should be celebrated and experimented with. They are teaching them that religion and God are "fairy tales" and believers are misguided, judgmental hypocrites. They are teaching them that the US is a racist, sexist nation. They are teaching them that our police are brutal and racist. They are teaching them that out troops are murderers. They are teaching them that humans have the ability to alter the global climate and that we are in the process of destroying the Earth and all of its inhabitants. They are teaching them that it's fine for teenagers to have sex and they are giving them birth control pills and condoms starting at m11 years old. They are teaching them that it is wrong to enforce US immigration laws. They are teaching them that all forms of diversity should be celebrated, no matter how weird, negative, abnormal or immoral. They are teaching them that there are no moral absolutes. All types of horrific behavior have some sort of valid justifications. Nobody brought up in today's environment can tell right from wrong.

By that standard, so was Abraham Lincoln. He blatantly campaigned on his poverty-stricken childhood. He was indeed born in a log cabin. But his father was one of the richest people in Larue county. The log cabin on display in the Kentucky museum has no resemblance to what Lincoln lived in as a child. Do you think Andrew Jackson never told a lie? How about Theodore Roosevelt? How about Franklin Roosevelt? How about George H.W. Bush? How about George W. Bush? How about Bill Clinton? How about Ronald Reagan? How about Richard Nixon? You know, there was a myth running around some time back that George Washington never told a lie. Well, a myth was all it was. Have you ever told a lie? By the way, I don't know of a single instance where James Carter told a lie. (There may be cases, but I have never heard of any of them.) At any rate, this very honest man was an abysmal president, was he not? Well, I guess I don't get your point. It doesn't seem to add any value to the process. I'm a Republican, and I think we should focus on things that matter. The Senator's exaggeration of his teaching experience does not bother me one iota.

Everything IMSA, do I have a chance?
I am planning to apply to the Ilinois Math and Science Academy. I want to pursue a career in forensics, so I think this school would benefit me greatly. Here is my info: Location: Chicago area Grades: All A's in english and math and in science A+'s from the past two years Freshman classes: I am taking honors english, honors biology and honors geometry (would it affect me that my school offers algebra II but I can't take it?) G.P.A: since 7th grade about 3.999, but last year I received my all time low 3.8 something. the G.P.A from school can only go up to about 4.1 Gender: Female Ethnicity: Hispanic Extracurriculars: Figure skating, volleyball and some dance Clubs: Science Olympiad and a competing math club SAT: I am currently studying a LOT, I am taking it in a few months I am attending the EIP program to show my interest in the school What are my chances considering there is a lot of competetion from where I live, and my not so spectacular grades? I forgot to mention I am also in band and choir, if that helps at all. And my teacher evaluations, I expect, are really good.

You sound like every other person applying to IMSA. I really can't help you until you get your SAT scores, which separates the men from the boys. Seriously, study a LOT. And make sure your essays are great. And stop thinking "my all time low" or "I usually do better", because IMSA won't care. You have what you have, and crying over how you usually should do better is not going to do anything. Another thing to consider is getting over your perfectionism. I am also a perfectionist, and I will tell you that perfectionism and IMSA is bound to end badly. Just something to keep in mind.

I think that the smaller the class, the better. If you're in a big class, professors don't know your name (usually), and you don't have much of a relationship with them. If you're in a small class, you can really participate and be engaged in the class, and get to know the professor (who can write you recommendations for jobs later, and be a great mentor.)

Non high school students can work as a pharmacy technician, if they are currently high school students. However, the pharmacies do not like to hire techs under 18. There are no special programs which I am awhere of. Just contact your local pharmacies and see if they are hiring. You will also need to get a pharm tech license.
