After graduation, I plan on going to Robert Morris University - Chicago. I came into this research project totally clueless about where I wanted to go and what I wanted to do in college. To help me out with choosing a college, I decided to compare a few select schools; Lake Forest, Mercyhurst College, and Robert Morris University. I based my comparisons mainly on the location, majors offered, hockey, student services, and getting accepted. I was accepted into both RMU and Mercyhurst College, so my decision was then based on whether I wanted to stay in town or leave the state. Ofcourse, I chose to go out of state to CHICAGO! Due to my procrastination, I had a lot of time to research and compare the schools that I was interested in. This project really helped me focus and think about my future as a motivated college student. Now that I know where I am attending school, I have to figure out where I will live, cost of admission, and most importantly- my major. As of now, I plan on starting school, at RMU, as UNDECLARED. I believe this is the best decision for me because, I am really unsure about what I want to do beyond college and I don't want to be one of those students who changes their major atleast 5 times. However, I do have an idea on what I would like to study and that also helped me choose RMU. I know I will find myself doing something with business/ fashion/ art and design, so going to a school in Chicago is probabaly the best decision I could have made.
