If I had a university, I am really not sure of what I would have. However, thinking of all the things I want in a university, I might as well just create that. So... Let's see...
I'll start with the size of the university. Medium sized seems fairly nice. A larger place means more opportunities.
Food: Either more than one cafeteria or one that has many options. Options such as, healthy foods, fast foods, grilled, Deli, international cuisine. I would be great to have connections with different restaurants and have them on campus; such as Starbucks, Smoothie King, and maybe a Pizza place. I'm not really big on McDonalds. Wings are great too! Possibly even a Chipotle. Looks like students will gain the FRESHMAN 15 on my campus!
Meal Plans will be awarded by the semester, not the week. As long as one does not go over their amount, they can eat as much as they want!
Academics: Every school cannot be strong in all areas, but I do not want it to be a place where students feel left out. So, if we have a particular major, we, TJU will have the connections, networks, honor societies, active clubs (hopefully, more likely than not) and special events for each particular area of study: Sciences, Education, English, Communication, Business, etc. Each academic area will have it's own building, with it's own facilities, academic advisers and professors. Professors will not be advisers. An adviser is just what they are called. They are there to ADVISE the students.
Advising: Students are required to meet with the adviser. Whether it's an email, or phone call or face-to-face. Advisers need to know what is going on with their students!
Career Placement: Each academic major will it's own set of career placement advisers. Seniors will be required to meet with the senior placement adviser sometime in the first semester. This meeting is to see where the student is and where they plan to be next year and can recieve the appropriate assistance. TJU will host job-fairs and seminars for resume assitance and Mock Interviews.
Now for the fun stuff, TJU will also be a place that is very fun!
Housing: Students must live on campus at least two years. When it comes to building a community, meetings will be held twice a semester asking students want they want to see happen in their residential hall.
- Air Conditioning
-Cable TV
Campus life: TJU is never dead on weekends! Students love to stick around. With out on-campus movie theather and bowling alley, who would want to leave? On the weekend, stop by the Union to hang out and play poll or talk and dance with some of the students. Head to the bowling alley for late-night bowling! Or, catch a movie with friends at the theather! All the popcorn you can eat!
Clubs and Organizations: TJU-Gov, Sororoties and Fraternities, TJU-Dancers, Cultural clubs - Chinese Student Alliance, Black Student Union, Jewish Girls Unite (you name it!) anything can be done at TJU! Future Teachers of American, American Marketing Association, Finance club, psychology club, future doctors, Basketball, Football, Cheerleading, marching Band, Tennis, ROTC, Robicts, TJU-ON AIR... so many things to name!
Financial aid: people actually know what they are doing! Notices are sent out when bills have not been paid. Phone calls are made ahead of time.
Scholarships: Students can be awarded full-scholarships for academics and sports as long as they maintain a 3.0. Students can also be awarded Merit and need based aid. Scholarships are determined by character, leadership ability, acadmics and personal interview. Of course, grades are important, too!
MOST IMPORTANTLY! The President of TJU will be a known face on campus. The President will be a person who is more than the 'President'.. He or she may not know everyone by face, but at least they will be able to say they have some kind of positive experience with her and can put a name with a face.
