I chose my college because...

With the incoming freshman class settled in and prancing around campus like a bunch of 6 year olds hopped up on a mixture of Jolt Cola and Red Bull, It was still rather refreshing to see campus alive. I got to talk to a few of them and through casual conversation, I thought about the reasons why they chose this school instead of some other place.

I came here because my friend(s) did.

It was the only college that accepted me.

I heard good things about the school from classmates or teachers.

I wanted to go to a school far away.

I wanted to go to a school that was close.

I wanted to go to a school that was different from where everyone else goes.

I chose the school that everyone else went to.

The school has a good reputation for doing *blank*.

---------------------------------

Me personally, I chose Drexel because my friend did, because teachers told me to, because I didn't want to go to the same college that everyone else ended up going to (rutgers), and because it was suppose to be a good school for computer science. Not that I even like computer science anymore. argh.

It could have been completely different.

As much as I hate Drexel, I love it. The other school that I could have went to was University of Maryland, College Park. But really, if I had went there, there's so many people that wouldn't be in my life right now. Actually, no, I can pretty safely say that everyone that I associate with right now on a daily basis, I would probably hardly ever talk to them, let alone have ever met them in the first place.

So maybe it was the right thing to do. Maybe. Maybe it could have been better down there. Maybe. I dunno, but somehow, I want to doubt that and say I made the right choice.

Yea, I did.
