Personal Narrative: Wofford College

Decent Essays
Normally, I am not a picky person,except for the college search. Everyday what I looked for in a college would change from big school to small school, to northern location to southern location. My parents struggled to find the perfect college for me. Luckily, they did. I was very skeptical about Wofford college, little did I know that Wofford would become the college I would compare all others to.
Upon stepping out of the car onto the Wofford campus, I was surprised. I felt something different about this atmosphere then I have at other colleges, I felt at home. This homelike feeling continued when the first person on campus smiled at me and said he liked my shirt. This surprised me even more. I was so used to being ignored when on a college
