Since the first time I received information from the University of Chicago in the fall of 2015, I have been intrigued and pulled towards the campus and its prized alumni. More recently, after a visit to the campus during the fall Open House, I find myself drawn to what this beautiful campus has to offer in all sectors of society, community, aid, diversity, and its many intellectual opportunities. My entire desire to attend the University of Chicago has been building from year to year into a greater driving force as I learn and see, first hand, more and more of what your school has to offer.
Others I knew began to receive college letters and information and I anxiously waited to see what I would receive. The University of Chicago was

The beautiful neo-gothic buildings, the Mansueto Library, the Oriental Institute along with the picturesque Main Quad all amazed both of us. I took part in a model class for biology, a lifelong interest of mine, which gave me just a piece of what was to come during my college experience and I loved it. The opportunities you give your students to study abroad are fantastic and something I would definitely want to take part in. Our walking tour guide described the many clubs and student organizations available and the housing system in which the school functions. I really like how your students are grouped and supported. Coming from a small town to a large city both scares me at times and intrigues me. The opportunity to grow outside of my comfort zone is something that I look forward to experiencing and knowing that you have a support system in place for that is a big plus. The group excursions into the city and the national renowned scavenger hunt are just some of the unique opportunities that I look forward to participating in. With this strong community feeling, I now know that the University of Chicago is where I want to be for the next 4-5 years of my life.
I can thrive in the community your university has created, along with the academic rigor it will present me, and this is all I could ask for of a school. I am willing and ready to accept all the challenges that the
Because of growing up in Adams, I have learned to try and find that sense of home wherever I go. As I am now looking into my future and where I want to attend college at, I feel that Creighton is the right place for me. When I visited Creighton I instantly felt the support and love that I did in Adams; that sense of home. I fell in love with your university, the community feel, and the difference you make in lives by community service. I know that Creighton would be home away from home for
As a Wilmington resident of seventeen years, my choice to attend the University of North Carolina Wilmington is ‘without a shadow of a doubt’ an easy one. In eighth grade, I began to seriously decipher through colleges, and attempted to decide which one was meant for me. UNCW wasn’t initially my first choice, but as I got older, matured, did extensive research, and with my college years growing nearer, it became very evident that it was where I needed to be.
The first thing that comes to my mind when I think of the University of Chicago is: nontraditional. The University of Chicago’s commitment to the individuality of their student body and building a diverse, quirky college community is an aspect that I truly appreciate. I am aware of many of my weaknesses, one being my reserved nature. I know at the University of Chicago I will be pushed outside of my comfort zone. I want to be challenged to think critically and outside of the box on even the smallest of issues, which is why the University of Chicago’s nontraditional approach and freedom of expression satisfies my desire for a specific type of learning and campus community. I appreciate the University of Chicago’s implementation of a quarter
The University of Evansville, my home for the next four years. I believe this university is the perfect home for me to continue my academic career. There are so many great qualities about this school. The first quality that drew me in, is how hands on the teachers and administrators are with their students. I feel the staff will be able to give me the push I need to follow my dreams of becoming a nurse or occupational therapist. Helping children has always been a dream of mine, and Evansville can make this dream become a reality. I have already met with several administrators that have helped me narrow my choices down to two careers, that allow me to work with and help children. I know that with the help of the professors and students I can
Other than the stunningly jaw-dropping campus, beautiful Hyde Park in Chicago, and the brimming intellectual environment paired with an extensive academic focus, UChicago focuses less on the “I have to go to college” part of life, and more on the “I want to go to college” aspect. I felt the academic culture come to life at a UChicago Information Session I attended, listening to Mrs. Belak, the North Carolina regional admissions counselor, tell us all about UChicago was the final “brick in the wall” for me. I was already set on wanting to go to UChicago, but after the Information Sessions, I was so very ecstatic at the chance of studying in Chicago for my next 4 years. Because I couldn’t schedule a tour based on finances and distance, I tried my best to immerse myself in anything I could get online, from virtual tours, videos from current and former students, dorm tours, drone footage of the campus, and previous ViewChicago live streams.
After four years of high school, there is only one goal I have in mind. That goal is to attend college. This is the next big step in my life. All the late nights I stayed up to complete school assignment was for this moment. All my hard work was has lead me to this point in life. College will open a whole new to me. A world where I can meet new people while working to improve my future. Why do I want to attend college though? Well I have three specific reasons for this decision.
I know with my great experience, drive, and future college education from CCU that great things are not too far ahead. Another event that caused me to venture back into the college arena is the insatiable appetite I have for knowledge. When I started my college search this last time I really looked closely at what all the schools had to offer. I found CCU and I felt like my search had ended but my journey had just begun. College has always been a place I enjoyed going, it is a symbol to me that there is hope for a better tomorrow. WKU, the college I attended straight out of high school, brings back some of the best memories I have ever experience. It gave me a sense of pride when I passed my classes, it improved my social skills, and it brought me closer to my responsibilities. I believe that with an associate’s degree from CCU in Healthcare Administration new doors will open, opportunities will knock. In wrapping up this essay, it seems that there are many events in play that have influenced me not only to future my education, but to attend CCU as
Seeking a well-fitting school for higher education is a multi-faceted endeavor. I have made lamentable mistakes at the beginning my collegiate career; but now I know that I am back on track to achieve my aspirations. Through all of the experiences I have detailed above, I realize that obtaining a robust education and fostering strong bonds with my classmates at a fine institution that will propel me forward. While my mosaic is not yet completed, I am begin to the form it will take. My perseverance hard work and passion will never subside; all I need is a chance to prove
Most colleges/universities in the world are overpriced and it takes not only a lot of money, but also perfect grades and exceptional extracurriculars to be able to get into them and pursue the career you want. Smaller colleges are expensive as well, but not as overpriced like all the big colleges. I would prefer to attend a small college in a small town. For example, I chose to attend West Hills Coalinga because I thought it would be a great experience since it is a small college; I come from a small town, therefore I would fit in better there than in a big school. West Hills Coalinga has the same opportunities all colleges have, but not only that, you can save yourself many personal and financial expenses as well.
I have always prided myself on my careful hunt of resources to make informed decisions, and it follows the same logic that I would use this well-thought approach for the college admissions process. Thus, visiting UChicago during their Fall Open House would provide the crucial personal perspective I seek.
My main reason for wanting to participate in NSLI-Y is because I am considering all my possible majors and career paths that I can strive for in college. One career path I am considering is going into translation and working either for the government or international business relations. I hope that by taking part in NSLI-Y, I can find out whether this career path is possible for me.
My love of The University Chicago originated from hearing a student speak about art history. From when I was young, I have been mostly science-oriented. I read science-fiction novels, memorized the qualities of elements from the periodic table, and was constantly asking my parents to do science experiments with me throughout my childhood. Nonetheless, when this student began talking about paintings, I was astounded her enthusiasm and genuine interest in the topic. I found her discussion about the contrasting imagery and the significance of the man’s uneven brow to be captivating. I knew that I wanted to attend a school with people like her: (better to use em dash “—“)students who were not only smart, but held hold a genuine passion for learning. (The) University of Chicago is so
Starting college for the first time is the utmost terrifying feeling I that I have ever had, especially starting college for the very first time. In addition, to anyone in my family that ever attend any college. It is extremely intimidating and nerve-racking especially at my age. I am an older adult continuing his education. For right now, there is no word that could explain how I feel, for being the first-generation college student in my family at the age of 51 attending college and building skills including re-inventing myself.
I want to be great one day I feel that going to this university will get me to goal to enhance my mind and enhance the world with my mind. I want to help others and inspire change in others, that there is a way to get to your goals even when you have problems and bumps in the road don't give up. Going to this university will give me that a chance to change the world with my mind. My mind I believe is a good tool to help me achieve my goals. With everything that has happened in my life I have it drilled into my mind I will be great, I will achieve by whatever means necessary and all I need is a chance to make that dream come true, it would be an honor to attend this
Multiple visits and tours later, my initial impressions were only confirmed. Coming from a very large high school, the close-knit atmosphere of campus is really appealing to me, and the mountains have always held a special place in my heart. My career goal is to become an orthopedic surgeon, so the presence of a pre-medical focused biology program and DCOM were highly instrumental in my decision to apply. I fully believe that attending LMU will allow me to reach new levels of success in both my personal and professional life, and I also believe that I will be exposed to some extraordinary experiences that I would not find elsewhere. To me, LMU represents a place where I can live my dream of being a college athlete while also accomplishing my academic goals, all while residing in an area that I believe I will be truly happy
