In the Spring of 2011 I will graduate high school and go on to college. The problem is, I don't know how to start looking at different ones. Do I want to go to a big or a small college? I don't know, I think I would like both. Do I want to be in the city or out of the city? I don't really know, because I like the hustle and bustle of the city, but I like that calmness that comes with being outside the city. I think this indecisiveness is a trait of mine. I don't have that strong of an opinion on issues and I feel this will have to change in the next year before I choose my college choice.
So far I have only visited one college, Luther, and liked it a lot. It is a small college, and has a nice atmosphere to it. My backup plan right now is Iowa, but I'm not sure if I want to go to a big school or not. This spring I'm going to visit more colleges like Luther with my dad and hopefully narrow down my college choice.
There is just so much to think about. All the colleges that are out there make you really have to look around to find the best one for you. I just wish there was some quiz you could take that would tell you the exact college that is right for you, and make this whole decision process easier. I know I want to do something with science so a college that offers a science major and has a good science program is a must. But I'm not sure that narrows down my choices any more. I know the college has to be bigger than my high school. I also want to be on the smarter side of the student body not one of the dumber ones in a smart college or one of the smartest in a dumb college. Not saying that there are some dumb colleges out there. Just not as selective as the higher-tier colleges. But, I guess, time will tell which school I will choose and I know I will make the right decision.
