I learned that colleges have a lot more options than I thought. I also saw that there are
many, many majors that can be chosen from. Often, I could not think of a career or job that
could match the majors, but many seemed very fascinating. As someone who does not yet
know what they want to do as a career, all these options seem slightly overwhelming.
Something else that was slightly surprising to me is that our local community college
costs nearly the same amount as the two Adventist colleges that I researched. With this
information, an adventist college may be a cheaper/better option because I can get
scholarships. I have worked hard my entire high school career for scholarships and I would like
to utilize my hard work to the full extent. Therefore, I will probably go to an Adventist college.

variety of food they wish. Vegan items will be identified on the station signs. There will be a
culinary attendant at each station to assist with information about the menu selections.
The PUC Dining Commons serves only lacto-ovo vegetarian foods. Some entrees and
sandwiches are referred to as "beef" or "chicken," but these items are free of animal products.
Care is taken to follow the basic dietary health plan of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
Student feedback is important and enables the creation of a dining program that is customized

at any time to exchange ideas and give suggestions.

Spiritual Life:In 2003, we began a seven-year study examining how students change during the
college years and the role that college plays in facilitating the development of their spiritual and
religious qualities. Funded by the John Templeton Foundation, “Spirituality in Higher Education:
Students’ Search for Meaning and Purpose,” is the first national longitudinal study of students’
spiritual growth. It is our shared belief that the findings provide a powerful argument for the
proposition that higher education should attend more to students’ spiritual development,
because spirituality is essential to students’ lives​. Assisting students’ spiritual growth will help
create a new generation who are more caring, more globally aware, and more committed to
social justice than previous generations, while also enabling students to respond to the many
stresses and tensions of our rapidly changing technological society with a greater sense of
equanimity.
Housing and food: Going away to college supports academic, personal and social growth. Our
campus is a place of self-discovery where students belong to a community that supports a
TRUE BRUIN experience. Where a student lives is critical to the quality of the college
experience. UCLA Dining Services is an award-winning program that is nationally recognized for
its high quality cuisine, state-of-the-art facilities, and innovative services. We cater to the needs
of our guests with convenience and flexibility in mind and are pleased to offer a wide variety of
