Personal Statement: Why You Should Go To Depauw

Decent Essays
You should send me to DePauw College next year.
The first reason you should send to school in DePauw is the cost. The school gives out very generous merit scholarships to every admitted student. In addition I am eligible for service related scholarships that would help reduce costs. The work program at DePauw is also one of the best in the country, providing many opportunities to reduce the cost of tuition with little effort. Room and board costs are also lower at DePauw than at any of the other colleges to which I have been admitted, making it the best school from a financial standpoint.
DePauw is also located in an ideal place. Greencastle, Indiana, is a lovely little town that you would both have an enjoyable time walking around should you ever visit me at college It is a very safe place, and the people of Greencastle work hard to have a good relationship with the college. The driving time to DePauw is very manageable. Greencastle is only a three-hour drive, allowing for trips home over the occasional weekend. The distance also allows me to go away to college without being unreachable.

We have combed through many informational books and websites in addition to making long trips over the weekends. Other colleges have been too costly, too far away, or too dull. DePauw is a very well respected liberal arts college. It also is highly regarded both within the state of Indiana and across the United States. The education I would receive by attending DePauw College is the best option out there.
You should send me to DePauw because of the low cost, convenient location, and quality

    One phrase that all people can relate to is “There is no place like home”. Therefore, going to an extraordinary college that is near home is a privilege that only a tiny percentage that students get. Consequently, being a family oriented person, I have always preferred to live at home and commute back and forth to the University. Therefore, I believe that the Hofstra University is the ideal school for me, since it's an extraordinary university that excels at academia and its location is quintessential, since it is only seven miles from my home time of New York City. In addition, the fact that Hofstra University is located near New York City, increases the opportunities to receive an internship.…
