Recently my search for college has brought me to some interesting places. When November rolled around I had submitted applications to only two colleges and started thinking, “Oh crud, some of these colleges have deadline in November!” That’s when the college catastrophe began. I scrambled to look for colleges that had things I was interested in but that got me thinking… What should I even be looking for in a college??? So I broke it down into this list:
− I want a school where I can have fun.
− I want a school that has my major.
− I want a school that has a good area.
But at that point on the list my mind started to wander… “What kind of restaurants are in this area?” “Will there be food I like?” “What will I do on the weekends?” These led me to add a few more points to my list.
− MUST have chicken tenders available 24/7.
− Pizza must be an abundance.
− Movie theatre in walking distance.
With my new list I went out into the world. I actually did get to go to some campus visits at Truman, Northwest Missouri State, and Illinois Wesleyan University, and they were all very… exciting. At Truman I stayed with some friends and had a “college” experience.
If you guys have advice on what to look for in a college let me know! Also if you go to any of those colleges or know someone who does, I’d like to hear about that too!
