Please tell us why you are planning to leave (or have already left) your current college or university.
I am very happy with what Oakton community college has been able to provide for me during my two years at the college. My professors were very passionate about what they teach and very knowledgably. However, my college cannot provide the resources for me to further my educational goal of becoming an economist.
As an Economist, I would need to study the effect the economies of different countries around the world and to this need to a culturally diverse environment to succeed. My current college is deficient in this area, which is no fault of theirs since they accept almost all the students that apply. This deficiency was evident in my humanities class when we my professor asked if China's growth was a threat to the US? Most of my classmate had no response and those would have said yes based on what they watch on TV. However, they fail to connect the fact that a growth in china, and the world economy, would lead to an increase in the US export and reduction in our trade deficit, which would lead to more American jobs.
Oakton community college is a good school with great teacher, but having passion is only one part of the equation. However, university of Chicago has the complete equation: passion and an outstanding Academic and research community.
