I am attracted to a college that excites my intellectual curiosity as well as provides a unique atmosphere for learning. Such is the case with UChicago. I believe that the diverse community of UChicago is vital to enhance my learning experience because it allows me to collaborate with different people. Moreover, UChicago has the perfect number of students: not too few and not too many. There are enough to discover new people but also not have crowded classes.

However, it wasn’t until later into the fall semester when my want to become an Orientation Leader was enriched. Dealing with being uncomfortable in this new environment and worries about my family at home left me flustered and confused.…

    Growing up in New York City, I’ve come into contact with a myriad of cultures and personalities, but I’ve always lacked a sense of small, close-knit community.

The small communities created on campus by common interest or graduating class, encourage a myriad of traits that combine into the overall campus community. Mount Holyoke College achieves an aura of friendliness, openness, safeness, vibrancy, and confidence, all specifically tailored for the wellbeing of women, and all combined to create what it students call MoHome.…

    I decided to attend Florida A&M University (FAMU) for a variety of reasons, including the location of its campus, because I was offered a full scholarship, and of course, because of the pharmacy program. Moreover, I believe that I am the ideal candidate for being a part of FAMU’s pharmacy program. To begin, FAMU is located in Tallahassee, Florida, a city that I had wanted to attend college in since I was in elementary school. Tallahassee is a city of containing and surrounded by many events and opportunities, so no matter your preferred “scene,” you are likely to be able to find something you do. Another upside to FAMU’s location is that it also places me very close to my mother and the rest of my maternal family, who I had previously not gotten to see almost since elementary school.…
