I have observed a trend similar to those reported at the University of Sydney, where students are choosing on-campus living for its vibrant community and social experiences, even when they live nearby. This surge in interest in residential college life is encouraging, since it shows that parents understand the enduring value of immersive campus experiences. However, at King's College, UQ, we're acutely aware of our responsibility to maintain accessibility for students from all backgrounds, even those from regional areas. We recognise the value that local students bring to our community. Their presence enriches the college experience for all, creating welcoming experiences between urban and regional students. However, our quota system also caps the number of local admissions, ensuring that King's College continues to serve its vital function as a bridge between regional Australia and higher education. #education #highered #culture

Excited to highlight the benefits of starting your higher education journey at a Community College (2+2 plan) instead of the traditional four-year Undergraduate route. 1. **Affordable Tuition**: Community colleges often have significantly lower tuition fees compared to four-year universities, making higher education more accessible. 2. **Smaller Class Sizes**: With fewer students per class, community colleges can offer more personalized attention and support from instructors. 3. **Flexible Scheduling**: Many community colleges offer flexible class schedules, including evening and weekend classes, catering to students who may be working or have other commitments. 4. **Transfer Pathways**: Community colleges often have articulation agreements with four-year universities, allowing students to transfer credits and continue their education seamlessly. 9. **Open Admission Policies**: Most community colleges have open admissions, making higher education accessible to a wider range of students, including those who may not meet the more stringent admissions criteria of four-year institutions. #InternationalRecruitmentTours #InternationalStudentEnrollment #intled #StudentRecruitment #HigherEducation #InternationalRecruitment #Fall2024 #Simpled #CommunityCollegeAdmissions #CC #CommunityCollege #CCID #India Simpled- Student Recruitment Tours

So excited to attend the College Changes Everything Conference, sponsored by State of Illinois - Illinois Student Assistance Commission. Thanks, Jim Reed for telling me about this event. I can’t wait to learn from the session, “If You Think We’re Just a Scholarship Program, You’re Missing the Point: Hope Chicago’s Approach to Promoting College Persistence and Beyond” hosted by Hope Chicago. When I first heard about the great work they’re doing, it was only mentioned as a scholarship program. Certainly, one of the things that I’ve learned over the years from experience and research is that first-generation college students benefit from full wrap-around support to persist through college. The scholarships are great and can take one less worry away. The other four fit factors that support all students with college success are Academic, Social, Vocational and Cultural. These fit factors can be applied even when students are developing their college list in high school. For first-generation college students, supporting parents, as well, is even more important. My parents finished school in 8th and 10th grade, so they had no idea how to support me through college. In hindsight, it worked out for the best that I attended college out of state. There likely would have been less support and more discouragement if I stayed local. I’m grateful for programs like Hope Chicago who recognize that it takes parent/caregiver support, as well, for first-generation students to complete college. #parentingteenagers #collegeprep #cce4me

The University of Michigan’s expansion of its Go Blue Guarantee as early as next fall is a big step forward in making higher education more accessible. Programs like this—along with efforts at Wayne State University and other Michigan institutions—are opening new pathways for young people. These initiatives don’t just change lives; they pave the way for a future where equitable access to higher education is the norm. At Mosaic Youth Theatre of Detroit, we see the power of opportunity every day. Over the past 30 years, 95% of Mosaic alumni have gone on to college, with a 74% college persistence rate. As we prepare youth for post-secondary education and careers, programs like the Go Blue Guarantee help amplify their voices and create new possibilities. Let’s continue the work to turn possibilities into achievements. #EducationMatters #YouthEmpowerment #EducationEquity #PathwaysToPossibility
