Allison

I love my college. I feel very equipped to enter the full time teaching mission, and I am only entering my third year there. Our professors remind us daily through words and actions that they care for us and want us to succeed. I feel blessed and excited about my own future in shaping the communities future. For some reason I was unable to rate the individual categories, but I would have rated them all 5 because they do a great job making the students a part of their family.

    There are so many choices to be made: what school to go, what major to decide, what meal plan! Just take a deep breathe! There are many students who go through these decisions. What you want to do is talk to other students from different universities and different majors to see what fits you. If you choose wrong that is okay! College is a time for change! I have transfered schools once and I have changed majors three times! Even with all this change I am still on the right track and becoming even closer to my goal of becoming a teacher (even though I didn't know I wanted to do this at first). Talk things out! Have fun, it's college, you only get this experience once in your life. So make the most of it.
