I’ve written about the Great College Search in here before, so I guess I should report on what I finally decided.

I’m going to apply early decsion to Wesleyan University, a liberal arts school in Middletown, Connecticut. It’s strange that after all the thinking and research and discussions with my parents, I’ve come full circle. When I first started looking at colleges, years ago, I wanted to go to a small liberal arts school in New England. Then I changed my mind and started looking at more technical schools, mostly because I was afraid of essays and found the geek sterotype comforting. I wised up and realized that I wanted to graduate knowing how to do a lot more than math or comuter science - I want to take a lot of good courses in philosophy, English, psychology, things like that. I think that if you’re planning to go on to grad school, undergrad should be a time to kind of find yourself and figure out what you want to do. I know I only say that because I havent fully grasped how expensive it is.

I love Wesleyan because it’s the perfect distance away from home (two hours by car, too far to go home for dinner but close enough to spend a weekend there), very liberal, great academically, has awesome students, and is just a generally cool place. I love it! I’m not sure what I’m going to do if I don’t get in.

I’ll just hope I do.
