So, hello everyone. I just felt like talking about my college visit from yesterday. I'm so excited about it! Hahaha.
Well, I went to Alliance with my mom for a visit to the University of Mount Union (this is in Ohio by the way...).
Anyhoo, we went to my first ever college visit. I was pretty nervous but once I started to talk to the info lady I felt better. Then, I went on my tour with a current student. Lol, Tim the Tour Guide! He's going to be a sophomore and he's going for computer scince stuff. At first I was like "Oh no, this dude is probably a jock and a jerk..." but no, HE'S A BAND GEEK LIKE MEEEEEEEEEEE! I told him how I am in band and he's like "REALLY?! What do you play?" So I told him (sax, mello, french horn). He's like "Whoa you play a lot!...I'm in percussion...Yeeeahh I'm a 'dummer'." lmao. Then he tried to get me to join the "Steel Drum Ensemble" if I end up attending MU. Lmao.
Back to the actual visit lol.
So, as I kept going on this tour of campus I learned a few things:
~There are 7 dorms, 5 of which I am allowed to enter lol. (2 Female, 3 Co-ed, 2 Male)...I think these are for freshmen.
~Facilities are great.
~The cost of attendance is...O_O...$36,100...but that includes anything you'll ever need. Unlimited meal plan, entrance to all school events free of charge, free laundry, classes (of course), room and board, use of the gym, if I get sick they have a medical place on campus...I can go see a doctor for free, parking, etc. It's amazing.
~The freshman girl dorms don't have a/c but oh well.
~I'll be only 45 minutes away from home if I do end up staying in a dorm (which goes against my original plan of staying at home).
~They have a chapel on campus if I want to go attend a church service.
~I can qualify for the highest scholarship from them if I maintain a minimum GPA of 3.5 and get at least a 27 on my ACT. This scholarship is practically a full ride...
~I can still be in band and stuff.
~I'll be majoring in nursing--they just got that program and I'll be getting completely brand-spankin'-new facilities.
~They will help me find careers.
~The classes are small...13 to 1 student-teacher ratio (Which is great considering I come from an extremely small high school.
There's a lot more that I could write about but that's enough. You get my point lol.
I honestly belive that this is where I want to go to school. :) I. Am. In. Love. (Plus, the school color is PURPLE!!! MY FAVE COLOR! It's just meant to be lmao)
:DDDDDDDD Let's hope I get a 27 on my ACT and keep my GPA up this year:)
