College is about making your own home. In high school, our homes are given to us, but college is an opportunity to create one's own social circle, daily routines and relationship with their surroundings. When I read about my school's statistics, I didn't want to go there. The visit seemed like a waste of time. When I got a look at the campus, however, and felt the energy coming off of the students walking around, I knew that I could make a home here for myself. It's home because I made it home.

There are a lot of things to consider when choosing a college that best suits you. There is financial aid, distance willing to travel, and size of the school. When choosing a school based on academics so many students end up changing their major so it is impotant to remember that and choose accordingly. The hardest part of my college career was choosing a major, i changed so often because i wanted to do so many different things. Once there is a connection with a class that no other class offered you thats when you know that you found your major. Simply taking random classes and fulfilling general education requirements one is bound to come across a class that meets all your interests.
