Carrie Brown Ms. Burton 2ndperiod April 29, 2009

My name is Carrie Brown. I attend West Jefferson High School. Sometimes I like going to school and then again I don’t. I’m currently in ROTC at school. At first I wanted to go to the military but I changed my mine. My #1 Goal in life is to attend Tulane University or Xavier University to get a degree in medicine and/or pharmacist. Whichever college I go to I plan on living on campus because it would be a great experience for me to see how the college life is. If I have time I would maybe want to be on the dance team, but I don’t know yet. But as of right now I plan on going to school every day to get a high school diploma and then a college one. I’m writing this research paper to let you know what colleges and career I’m interested in. Also to learn more facts about the two schools I’ve chosen. It took me quite a few days to put this together so I hope you like it.

Tulane University is one of the nation’s leading education and research institutions. It was founded in 1843 in New Orleans. Tulane offers degrees in architecture, business, law, liberal arts, medicine, the sciences and engineering, and social work. Tulane is a four year college. Student undergrad enrollment 6,749. Graduate and professional 4,408. There are 5,757 females and 5,400 males. I didn’t know that many people went to college. Tulane Strives to connect its values and missionto the needs of the city of New Orleans and the nation. The undergraduate experience is marked by close student faculty interaction, a variety of campus programs and a diverse student body representing all 50 states and more than 40 different countries. Tulane undergraduates will have full time faculty teaching them right from the start. One of the nation’s most recognized centers for medical education, the Tulane University School of Medicine is a vibrant center for education, research and public service. Celebrating its 175th anniversary this year, the Tulane School of Medicine is the second oldest medical school in the deep south and the 15th oldest medical school in the United States. When I research the college tuitions I was very shocked at how much college was. The tuition is very expensive: Tuition: $40,000.00 Academic Support Services fee: $2,000.00 Activity Fee: $80.00 Reilly Center Fee: $150.00 Student Health Services Fee: $436.00 Total Tuition and Fees: $42,666.00

I was confused when looking for the tuitions because I really couldn’t find it. So I searched through google and I finally found it. Xavier University of Louisiana is located in the heart of New Orleans minutes away from the city’s business cultural, government, and recreational facilities. Enrollment at Xaviers’ college of Arts and Science is approximately 2,500 along with an enrollment of approximately 590 at the college of Pharmacy, and approximately 200 at the graduate school .The ultimate purpose of the university is to contribute to the promotion of a more just and humane society by preparing its students to assume roles of leadership and service in a global society.
