Life is a winding road that goes through mountains and over water, but also through mud, ice, and snow. What I mean by that is that life is something very short, filled with beautiful moments as well as dark and disturbing ones (well, if we are being technical, life is the longest thing any of us will experience). One moment that nobody can seem to decide which category it belongs in, is college. College for some people can be this once-in-a lifetime experience that creates friendship, memories, and everlasting knowledge. While for others it is absolute misery and stress. Regardless of all of that, college is an incredibly tough decision that comes down to intelligence, money, and future careers. All of which are choices of which many people fear to make in life. Bowling Green and Findlay University both seem to be very sound and reasonable choices; however, Bowling Green looks to be the better choice due to costs and their business programs. As for Bowling Green, which is my first choice, was actually the second college I had visited. It had a massive campus, well, at least compared to what I expected. It had hundreds of dorms and plenty of faculty to go around for the students. Needless to say that during that first visit, I was blown away and beyond impressed with everything I saw. So after looking more into it, there are definitely a lot of different reasons that I was even more inclined to go there. The first thing I looked at was the tuition, which was a surprising
One thing I needed in my college of choice was that it had to be small because I knew I would be able to focus better. My first choice, Towson University, was a large school and all my friends currently go there, but God, and my perspicacious mother, clearly knew I should not go there because of the countless distractions that would have hindered my success. The small atmosphere of Catawba enabled them to have a family style relationship all around campus. I am used to this family style because it reminded me of my high school. Another reason I chose to enroll at Catawba was because of its six hour distance away from my home known as the DMV, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia, area. I have been in that area all my life and living somewhere else for I think would be greatly beneficial to my development as a person and would broaden my perspective. The other aspect of moving away from where you have been all your life is that you have to leave behind all your family and friends and that is one of the hardest parts. However, you will have a newfound appreciation for them that
The big question that is asked when going to a college is why do you choose our college. Well let me tell you. There are thousands of colleges to choose from and I decide on Lake Land College, because they have the program I want to eventually be in. They are affordable and they are always willing to help you with any problems you have.
Besides looking at it from a financial perspective, I would still favor Cortland over the other two colleges because its suburban environment appeals to me more than the rural campus of Hartwick and Ithaca is over three times as large as Cortland. Location wise, all three colleges are roughly the same time away from home by bus, but in
Choosing the “perfect” college to attend, may be one of the hardest decisions a teenager will ever have to make in their lifetime. There are many factors that one must consider in order to make the right choice. This decision is very difficult because various schools bring many different pros and cons to the table. Does the college have the sport one wants to play? Does the college have many different clubs one can join?
Ohio State offers many activities on and off campus such as sports, and other recreational activities. Ohio State also provides many great sports teams including football, basketball, baseball, and soccer. Another reason I chose Ohio State is because of the great medical background and education it provides. Ohio State runs one of the most recognized hospitals world-wide called the James. Depending if I pursue medicine, the James could provide with a job straight after college. Finally, I chose Ohio State because of the awesome campus life. My cousin goes to Ohio State and has provided me with background and information which made my decision much
College education is the key to being successful, but so is picking the right college to go to. I feel like Loyola University Chicago is the perfect college for me. They have the major I am interested in (marketing) and they are also division I in soccer, which is my passion. I also like that Loyola has students from all over the world. So you can learn about other peoples faith and cultures.
In the end University of Wisconsin-Madison seems like the right college for me for many reasons. The location seems perfect and the academics feel like they would lead me towards getting a degree in a field I would enjoy pursuing. The Wisconsin experience sounds like exactly what I would want my college experience to be
As I entered my senior year of high school, my range of college interests was all over the place. My mind was changing everyday from seeking a big school environment to a small college. I could imagine myself in a rural community, or could just as easily see myself enjoying college in a metropolitan area. I believe that UNCW offers the best of both worlds in the way it is not in a huge city, but not in the middle of nowhere. There is always something to do and you are not stranded as some of my friends are in their college towns.
Going to college, is where your journey in life really begins. Choosing the right college for you is one of the biggest decisions you make in life. I choose California Baptist University to enhance my studies, meet people pursuing the same passion as I am, and become closer to God.
Based on these reasons, I feel that Bowling Green State University is the best college for me to start my Doctorate in Physical Therapy. The biggest reason for me is cost because I want to come out of college with the least amount of debt possible. In regards to size and logistics for my major, BGSU and Toledo match up pretty closely. Since I am choosing Bowling Green, I am going to have to keep my grades up extra high to make sure that I can get accepted into a doctorate program. This means a lot of hard work and time studying but I feel I am ready for the
Picking the perfect college is one of the biggest choices a young adult will have to make. The college one chooses will be your home for the next four years. Everyone should go somewhere that provides different sports and academics that suits them the best. One has to go somewhere that feels like home and is welcoming. I have to choose whether I want to be called a Volunteer, Hokie, or a Chanticleer for not just the next few years but for the rest of my
University of Louisville, Indiana University Southeast, and Ivy Tech. Three colleges, multiple factors, but only one decision to make. Have you thought about where you want to go to college at or what you want to be after high school?
Bowling Green gives me the opportunity to enjoy my years at college while receiving an excellent education. It has my major, and lots of things to do when I don't have class. Owens is a lovely school, but it’s not the one for me. Bowling Green will make me happy while not spending way too much. I’m very excited that I have already been accepted to BGSU and I can’t wait to attend my first year at college as a
A big school or small, public or private, urban or rural; these are just a few of the many difficult deciding factors I faced during my college selection. At the height of my selection process, I had applied to ten schools ranging across all those factors. I was completely unsure of what I wanted to do with my life yet and had no idea what type of school I wanted. My mind wasn’t set enough on the future and I was too worried about getting through high school and working my full-time job. As it got closer to spring, I had to start making some decisions. Ultimately, I narrowed my deciding process to three factors to specifically analyze to make the right decision. Beginning with reputation, followed by student life, and lastly the financial cost to attend.
The summer after my eighth grade graduation my parents told me high school was a totally different ball game. Personality, staying organized and keeping good grades all counted towards the real world, college. Yes, the big “C” word, Over hearing conversations from older cousins and family members about Eau-Claire and what campus is like, I started my research. Many family friends of mine have attended the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, and from what I’ve heard, it is nothing less than amazing. Having a strong steady campus with caring peers is what caught my eye to begin with. The strong business program was what drew me in. Strong business programs is a great plus to applying to UW- Eau Claire. Along with the super active campus, year round. I love to be involved with my community in any way possible, with all of the different activities and events going on it will be an absolute perfect fit for me.
