What to do after high school is one of the biggest choices a person will make in their life. This one decision will affect many different aspects of life. For me, I have decided that I want to spend my years after high school going to college to hopefully one day become a doctor. This process will be very long but I am dedicated to accomplishing my goals. Picking the right college for me is essential in me accomplishing these goals. I have narrowed it down to three colleges to choose from: Whitworth University, OSU, and Northwest University.
Whitworth University Whitworth University is located in Spokane, Washington and has a gorgeous 200 acre campus. In the past few years, they have spent $110 million in expanding their campus in areas such as: rec center, dining …show more content…
83% of the classes at Whitworth have less than 30 students making excellent class sizes suitable for my learning. 43% of the graduating students participated in study abroad. I plan to minor in the Spanish language and spending a semester studying abroad would be a very educational and exciting experience for me. 85% of graduates who finish in four years and 85.9% of first year students come back for a second year. This stat lets me know that if I go there for my first year, I am more than likely going to want to return. Tuition and fees for a student to attend Whitworth University would be $39,096 with an additional $10,714 for room and board. If I were to attend Whitworth University I would need to stay in a dorm room so I am looking at a cost of around $50,000. This is a lot of money for me to go to school and this is the only factor that is keeping me from dropping everything and attending Whitworth next year. However, for the 99% of incoming freshman that receive financial aid, the average amount of financial aid given is approximately $33,900. If I were to get financial aid somewhere in the ballpark of the average, I have a very good chance of
