Reflection #4 - If you were voting in the 08 presidential election based solely on higher education policy, who would you vote for and why?
At the risk of sounding ignorant, I would have to say that I would not vote for any of the presidential candidates. I don't agree with any of their policies, or lack of policies. Also, I feel that there are more important issues to look at than higher education, yes it affects my family and me directly, and many others, but that doesn't change the fact that there are more pressing issues facing our nation and the people of. I would choose to look at those policies and decide on issues of the economy and war, before picking a policy on higher education. So if it came down to voting simply for their higher education policies, I would choose to abstain, unfortunately.

Building a University
Reflection #3 - If you were to design a new University from the ground up, what would it be like?
If I were to build a University from the ground up it would be a male and female based college. It would attempt to be a blend at liberal arts education (http://www.iseek.org/sv/20005.jsp#definition) and technical school education (http://www.rwm.org/rwm/) to draw in a more diverse student body. The shape of the campus would be in a horse shoe or circle, with a quad in the middle. This way the studyent body could view everything that was going on. It would definitely include a coffee shop, that isn't Starbucks (http://www.starbucks.com/), as Starbucks is too overpriced for college students. There would be nice dorm rooms, that were spacious, while at the same time practical. It would be a school that wanted to make a change, or mold students that want to make a change, or impact on the community. I don't believe it would be a small private school, and I would ensure that it is a school where the best education can be had while still having opportunities to go to campus concerts, athletic games, or different campus organizations.
