College Visits!

Well, i jut returned this evening from a few days visiting colleges. We left our house mid afternoon Tuesday and trekked to Ann Arbor, Michigan to visit the University of Michigan on Wednesday.  I loved the engineering program, but was not too crazy about the campus.  After the visit, we drove another 5 hours to West Lafayette, Indiana to visit Purdue University on Thursday.  I loved the campus, and like the engineering program-but not as much as Michigan's.  After this, we began the short drive to Urbana, Illinois to visit the University of Illinois.  However, on the way, we took a slight detour and made a quick stop in Terre Houte, Indiana at the Rose Hulman Institute of Technology.  This is a much smaller, engineering specific school.  We talked to a few people, walked around the campus for awhile, and i really liked the program and campus, but i was not too crazy about the environment.  It was more like a boarding school...not much of a college atmosphere.  We then continued on to Illinois.  Friday, this morning, we visited there.  I liked the campus and i liked the engineering program.  It was all really good- but i didn;t really fall in love with anything like i did at Michigan or Purdue.  However, all schools are great and i will have a tough decision to make if i get accepted to all of them.  I will start applying soon and begin making decisions.  However, i only have 2 days of summer left and those are reserved for fun and... AP work.  Hopefully i get it all done! Goodnight.
