all my classmates and teachers. One thing I didn’t do in high school that was different than all of my peers was work on college and scholarships. The idea of college was frightening. I did apply, as part of an assignment, and got accepted to a University. (However I made sure that my entry date was about two years after I graduated.)

Johnson at Ball State University brings forth the evidence of the private school domination. For example, from 1997-2013 they have kept a record for each class, 1A, 2A, 3A, and 4A of what type of school the state champion was. In class 1A, the number of public school state champions…

The most important criteria that I have is probably the environment and campus life of the school. My biggest worry is getting to college and not being able to find people that I can fit in with, and the campus culture being very different than mine. Along with the culture, I also like a very small environment and class size. I feel like with a smaller student body and class size, students can connect better with one another and with professors, which I really want in a college. Environment can…

Except recently, Nordic countries have agreed to lower tuition rates for international students. The funding for these universities are similar to Germany; they are publicly funded.
