<p>I wanted a school that would give me the same sense of family and that was the reason why I did not chose Purchase. </p>
<p>Maybe it was because of my timing or how things went, I never had a fair chance to judge but I felt that at Purchase, it was best man for himself. While at my school, Fredonia, it was family, I belonged! </p>
<p>I highly recommend visiting the schools in sessions, try sitting in on a class, talk to students. Trust your instincts, go with your best judgement. Especially when choosing BA or BFA because each school has a different opinion. </p>
<p>I wish you as much luck as I had!</p>
