9 Positive Effects of Outdoor Education on High School Students

When you were in school, could you imagine that some lessons would be taught outside? You could do sports and exercise outdoors, but learning Literature, History, and other disciplines used to be held strictly indoors. With a global shift towards interactive and inclusive studying, the role of the classroom (read: limited space) has received due attention from scientists. Now, it is proven that learning outside does not only serve for fun. In fact, it helps them concentrate better when they go back to the classroom. For example, if students are taught Biology both indoors and outdoors, they are more engaged…

Why People Go Back To Education As an Adult

There are so many people that go back to education as an adult and just because you are older than a college student doesn’t mean that you are not allowed to go and put yourself back into education.

University cost comparison – North vs South

Newcastle upon Tyne, in the North East of England, has an estimated population of 300,000 people. The city, or the ‘Toon’ as it is referred to locally, is synonymous with culture, a welcoming atmosphere, and, unfortunately, rather poor weather. As of 2017, the two universities in the city, Newcastle University, and Northumbria University, boasted 23,000 and 26,000 students respectively. Taking those statistics into consideration, almost a sixth of the entire population in the city are students — and we aren’t surprised.

Why money matters: The importance teaching financial literacy in school

Money can be a touchy subject. Many of us feel awkward discussing our finances, but when studies show that three quarters of Britons were worried about their finances in 2018, it becomes clear that we can’t avoid the topic for much longer. Over half of UK adults attribute money worries to mental health issues, and the ever-growing anxiety about money needs to be tackled head-on. The question is, what’s gong wrong? One answer is lack of education. Children rarely receive lessons on budgeting and money management. The sudden responsibility of having to manage their own money often shocks young adults…

How to be a modern gentleman

Every year sees new, modern words entering the dictionary. This year saw the likes of ‘hangry’ and ‘adorbs’ hitting the pages. New words reflect the time period they were coined in, much as older terms tend to hold the values of years gone by. Take the word ‘gentleman’, for example. The noun was coined in Middle English as a means to herald a man from a high-status family, even if not necessarily nobility. The word, as so many do, has evolved and changed over time to describe outlooks and behaviours befitting a man of note, but the word itself is…

Best real estate schools in the USA

Real estate is a science understood differently across the globe. On the one hand, in Europe, most countries don’t have a consistent education system for this profession, and real estate agents are not well regulated. On the other hand, in the US, real estate agents play a crucial role in the home selling process. There are over 1.3 million REALTORS® or one real estate agent to every 300 inhabitants. Who can become a real estate agent? From the outside, this career seems very appealing. However, remember that most real estate agents live on the commissions their sales generate. The more…
