1. What will be the Best for Me…

2. Is it already time for College?
I never realized fast college was coming, until my sister left last summer for her first year of college. Then I began looking and realized that college is a great experience. I went on a couple college visits to Mount Union, Alleghany, and Ohio University. I noticed that I was probably going to end up liking a big school over a small one. So I then decided to compare Ohio University, West Virginia, and Cincinnati. Things I wanted to compare were the cost, location, and size of each school.

*The cost is important because it would be nice to have minimal debt out of college.

8. Total Enrollment…
*The size is also important because it would be nice to go to a college where there are many different types of people.

9. Campus Size…

10. Ohio University…
After comparing The University of Cincinnati, Ohio University, and West Virginia I concluded that Ohio University would be the best fit for me. Once I found out how small Cincinnati was it didn’t sound as appealing because I knew I wanted a big campus. Then I saw that West Virginia cost more because it was out of state, and so it didn’t look so good either. Then Ohio University seem to have everything that I wanted including a big rural campus, a good physical therapy program, and it isn’t to far away from home.
