As I recall, the college decision was nowhere near easy. I was constantly weighing the criteria, including financial aid, campus beauty, distace from home, friends' school choices, and numerous others. However, these concepts do not always balance out, which makes it even more difficult. However, no matter how big of a decision it is, it is not irreversible, and chances are, something good with come of whatever decision is made. The experience you will have wherever life turns next is invaluable and should be viewed as that - it's never a mistake.
My choice turned out pretty well. Luther is a nice school that has a lot to offer. Granted, I knew that coming in, since I have grown up around it, and kind of know the ins and outs of the school, but I was pleased to find that there are still parts for me to learn and experience. It offers me a new perspective on the community and campus, and gives me a new place among all of the residents of the college and town. I am sure I would have had an experience that would have been rewarding in other ways if I had attended a different school, but that is all hypothetical. There is little one can lose when attending a school such as Luther or all the other schools that are very similar (except maybe some money). Do not worry about the decision itself, for the college experience relies more heavily on what you are willing to do with it, than the place at which it is done. Your success at school is more closely related to your ability to adjust and be flexible, taking advantage of everything your school has to offer. So consider that just as much as how big the dorm rooms are, or how tasty the cafeteria's food is. I wish you all the best of luck with whatever decisions need to be made in the near future, whether they are school related or not, we all need a little help sometimes.
Peace,
Collin
