The University of Humility


It's accreditation has no timed-tenure, needs no profound entourage of Ph.D's to sanction it, bless or supremely justify why it's a great institution to attend. Yes, it is a private institution but the tuition, books and fees are affordable on a minimum waged salary. The meals are priced differently according to the experiences of each person who has learned the menu provided, and the chefs that prep each of life's meals understands the various flavors and seasonings that accompany the journey.
The Deans, Provosts, Chairs, Chancellors and Vice Chancellors of this great institution are not arrogant, pious or condescending to the body of students who pass through it's halls of learning. They understand the years of experience, trial & error, extensive research and application of various principles that have helped to mold the university into what it has greatly been recognized for.
The teachers that flood it's corridors and classrooms are the most tolerant with the many testimonies from it's students as they voice their distresses, failures and successes with in the semesters of life. They critique and grade according to the curriculum that has once added to the arsenal of hard knocks, people skills, biases, prejudices, lofty heights of success and valley sufferings personally experienced. This university has built a great understanding of the word "team and team effort" while yet encouraging each person to be independent and not be afraid of life. Many of it's undergrads come from various backgrounds, ethnicities, genders and races -yet the university has many satellite locations so that each person who attends has equal opportunity to benefit while striving to make the best grades.

Although the university has many success stories, it has many unsuccessful drop-outs. The attrition rate for the university still remains at a high level, and although some return to succeed... others never understand the simplicity of the university. Parking is never a problem (that I've ever seen) around the campus, and each year you can see the numbers of person's who desire to park around the world shaped campus increase (I think the administration is working to solve this problem). Humility 101 as each student knows around campus, always switches teachers and has never been known to have only one specific teacher...this is very frustrating for some students. However, it remains the most talked about class throughout the world community. The subject matter is too extensive for one to learn on their own, that's why the instructors encourage the collaboration of fellow students who have been through the course. (I encourage you to find a good study partner!).

Anyway, there's much to be said about this fine university, so please make sure that you get a catalog and go through it very carefully. You'll find that this is a high quality institution with a "come as you are" atmosphere, you'll meet lots of new friends and come away with a life changing -yet world influencing experience that will help you help the next person struggling around you, and in time you'll learn to appreciate the many benefits offered from attending the University of Humility.
