Reflection 5

If you were to design a new University from the ground up, what would it be like?


My ideal University would be a small and close knit community, very much like Chatham.

I would want my University to be an Ivy League black college. It would have various sororities and fraternities open to all that wish to pledge. Thus, hazing would be against the college rules even if it was not against the law in that state. The setting my University would be in is a beach in Florida. The dorm rooms would be like condos with a maximum of four room mates per condo. There would also be housing available for single parents and those who are married. The scholarships would be according to the founder(s) or signifcant people that contributed to the history of the University. This way all of the students can have the choice of whether or not they want to apply, because I don't think it's fair to have a scholarship available to certain students and not others. Also, the standards for being able to apply to the college would consist of: minimum grade point average of 2.5 for undergraduates, 2.7 for transfers, and 3.0 for graduate applicants; an essay of their choice that they feel portrays their personality the most; obviously of African-American decent. There would be a sub departments of Student Activites, Student Affairs, Dining Services, Campus Maintenance, Campus Security, and Admissions.
