Pitches

Studying abroad!
Dear Editor:

As the beginning of the semester starts off and students are settling into their classes, there are many opportunities presented around campus. Flyers and speakers step into the class to let students know about the opportunities to study abroad.

Many students at WSU and around the nation at other colleges choose to study in another country for various reasons and experiences. As a student here, how would the experience somewhere else enhance your scholastic experience and how could it impact your future.

What options might be available for students wanting to broaden their experiences and flow with their major by studying in another country. What do students who have experienced this have to say, and what might coordinators say?


Distance Degree as an option for Students far away?

Dear Editor:

Washington State University offers another alternative for students who may not want to or do not have the ability to live in Pullman, Washington. WSU Distance Degree Programs offers several degrees that you can get completely online.

As a WSU DDP student you can seek a degree through them or in some cases, do a few classes online away and come finish a degree in Pullman. How can this benefit students here on campus as well as the students not ON campus.

The DDP program enhances WSU’s credibility and is another way for the school to be more nationally known for the up to date program. How does DDP work to improve WSU’s image as World Class Face to Face...or Computer to Student?

From Sorority to apartment: the come down from group living

Dear Editor:

Many women on college campuses join sororities and have wonderful or awful experiences living in a large house with many girls. The family feel of it all appeals to many who join and stick with it.

As the women get to the end of their college years, they tend to move out into smaller groups. How is the transition from 60 or so girls to a small handful of girls impacting their day to day lives? The living situation of these girls can drastically change how this living style might affect them in the future.

Is the large number of girls living together a positive influence on girls or not. Are they relieved to leave the house or do they miss it? What experiences are gained from living in a house and what experiences are lost? Are they less responsible or less self sufficient after living with that many girls? How could the transition cause stress or relief in their lives?
