MY CHOICE! The college of my choice is Metropolitan State University because its not far from home, not very expensive and I am already looking into their forensic science course, which is something I’m very interested in, and I like it so far. From what I’ve researched about Metropolitan State, I am impressed and excited about the school and that is really what has drawn me into that school specifically.
