Happy Monday! Today was so fun; I went to the Junior Day at the University of Kansas! I absolutely loved it, but I have a big problem: I love Washburn University, Kansas State University, and the University of Kansas. A lot. I don't know how I'll be able to choose which one I'll go to. I guess it's also a good thing that I'm only a junior and I already know that I'll probably be going to one of those three schools, which is very exciting! I plan on applying to all three over the summer, which is super early but I don't see any harm in applying. I meet all of the basic requirements for the ACT, SAT, and my GPA, so the only question now is scholarships. I hope I can kick up those test scores and my GPA so that money won't be as much of an issue! I made a pros/cons list of each school right after the visit:
1.
Washburn University
Pros:
- Great scholarship opportunities
- Beautiful campus
- Really cool new recreation center
- Nice dorms
- Great Greek life
- Living and learning center
- Awesome study abroad program
Cons:
- It's in Topeka, KS (not exactly the ideal college town)
- Missing out on the broad network
- No special education program :(
2.
Kansas State University
Pros:
- Beautiful campus
- Great Greek life
- Affordable tuition
- Good distance from home
- Manhattan rocks
Cons:
- Too big?
- My family hates K-State (yes, this is a legitimate con)
3.
University of Kansas
Pros:
- Beautiful campus
- One of the best Special Education programs in the nation
- Study abroad
- KU Basketball (major pro)
- I've always been a KU fan
- Lawrence is the best college town
- Great Honors program (but it's super competitive and I probably can't get in)
- Scholarship halls
Cons:
- Huge classes
- Huge campus
- Greek life probably wouldn't work for me at KU
Do you have any advice for helping me pick? I know I have a super long time before I need to make this decision, but I want to know where I want to go to college ASAP! Have a great rest of your week!
Carpe Diem,
Brooke
