Making a Decision

This was the biggest decision of my life. 18 years of my life were building up to the decision of where I will be attending college next year. It’s a big decision of choosing where I will be the next 4 years of my life as well as spent the most amount of money for something in my life as well.

            To help me make this decision I went on a trip to southern California to visit colleges down there and get a feel for the campuses and see if I liked them. I liked them all in different ways. I liked the reputation that Cal Poly San Louis Obisbo in its engineering field and had a lot of Majors to choose from. But I didn’t like the fact that you had to choose your major and could not switch your major easily. I also visited UC Irvine I was really impressed with the campus and feel of the school but I didn’t like the part of the city it was in.

            Then I checked my email and I found a school named Drexel in Philadelphia, sent me massive amounts of emails trying to get me to apply to their school. I figured what’s the harm so I applied. I thought it was a long shot because it was a private school and wouldn’t get the finical aid to go so when I got the acceptance letter I was happy but sill in a reserved mood about the school.

            I soon found out that I got into UC Irvine and now the hard part was deciding which school I should go to. It was coming down to the wire and I needed to make a choice. I liked Irvine a lot and I knew that Drexel was going to be a stretch finically to make it possible to go there so it was all up to me to decide.

            I had one last thin I wanted to do before I decided what college I was going to, I wanted to see Drexel in person. I wanted to walk the campus and see the city of Philly. So me and my dad flew out to Philly and saw the campus. And at that moment I walked around the campus for the first time I decided that that’s where I was going to be going to school next year.
