Decision of Epic Proportions

Decision of Epic Proportions

As most of you reading this know, I am a Senior in high school. For
the international visitor, this means I am in my last year of high
school. Next year I head out for a university. This is going to be a
huge change, and I wanted to put a lot of time and thought into the
college I'll be attending in less than a year's time. A lot of people
have been on my case, and... Well... The wait's over, folks.

That's right, the decision has been made. Next year......

I'm rocking WL the way it should be. Boiler Up.

YES! Purdue's the one for me. As many of you know, it was between this
and UIndy. It has been an intense struggle in my mind for a long time,
and I'm glad it's finally over. There are many reasons I believe
Purdue is right for me, so I'm going to go into that now.

First of all, it's science reputation. Out of all of the colleges in
Indiana, Purdue is the place to be for any type of science. Its
engineering program is amazing, the aeronautics program is out of this
world (pun intended), and its science division is great on its own.
So, studying anthropology there will definitely give me an advantage
when it comes to the field's scientific processes.

Secondly, the University Honors Program. The UHP is an
interdisciplinary program that stretches across all of the colleges at
Purdue. It offers courses and trips to give me the experience of a
lifetime. For example, there is a course on vampires provided by the
UHP. At the end of the course, students take a trip to Romania to see
everything they've been studying! I know! It's awesome. Also, the UHP
gives me the chance to live in a UHP learning community, an
opportunity that I'll be happy to cash in on.

Lastly, the bigness. (Heh.) Purdue itself is gigantic, one of the
biggest colleges in Indiana. I love that. Coming from Randolph County,
I want to surround myself with people, and live like I never had
before. Also, this grand population will allow me to advance myself
socially, and give me many opportunities a small school may not have.
It's great for me, and a perfect fit.

In conclusion, I'd like to make a disclaimer. Just because I've chosen
to be a Boilermaker doesn't mean UIndy is a bad school. It's amazing,
and one of the best liberal arts schools around. Purdue just fits me
better.

I can't wait to start next year. It's gonna be hot like paper off the
presses, and fresh like a sandwich from Subway.
BOILER UP!
