Honestly, I'm not sure why I want to attend Augustana. However, it was one of the few places I visited that struck a chord. The campus was beautiful and the layout of the buildings gave the campus a sense of community, while retaining the individuality. A variety of architectural styles made the buildings stand out, but it all flowed together like a piece of abstract art. Stories of sledding down the hills in the winter and of seeing the plays and art shows students put on provided a sense of community. It sounded as if students had many social events and a variety of clubs. I was also interested in the fact that even if you do not major in a subject you are allowed to use some of those facilities, like practice rooms for music.
