If I could pick any college, I would attend Xavier University Of Louisiana because it is full of culture, has an amazing pre med reputation, and it is close too family with a lot more benefits. Finding a college that is right for me is tough especially one that docks all the boxes on my checklist without me having too make a difficult decision like choosing between being close too family or choosing my education. With Xavier I can have the best of both worlds I will be close too family, while also getting an education at the number one in the U.S for awarding bachelors degrees in biomedical science to African Americans and the top or the number of African Americans who complete medical School. For me Xavier isnt just a school its a dream come true, it has the Culture, Stats, and its close too family. It supports the three F’s I keep in my life Faith, Family, and Funds.

If I had the opportunity to attend college, I know that I’d choose Anderson University. I’ve grown up in Anderson my whole life and have always loved it. I know that I wouldn’t be able to leave home because it means so much to me and that’s why this school means so much to me. This school is home, because it means I can have an education and still be surrounded by my family and friends. In addition, I get to be involved in a new Christian community and expand the “home” I have in my head.

The University of Arkansas in Fayetteville would be my first choice if I could attend any college. I love the campus’s stunning setting located in the Ozark Mountains, the friendly community, and the excellent educational opportunities. I believe it would be a place where I could learn, develop, and genuinely belong because of the positive atmosphere created by the school spirit and Razorback pride.

I would continue going to Drake University in Iowa. It has a great program that is both challenging (in the good way) and close to home. I am currently pursuing a BFA in musical theatre and I am enjoying every second of it. Drake has offered many great resources and both the students and faculty have created a great environment for me. I love my professors as they use more hands-on technique with their smaller class sizes.

If i could go to any college I would go to my current school Paul Mitchell The School. It is full of diversity and acceptance of everyone any gender and sexuality.

If I could attend any college, I’d pick Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach. There are two main reasons for this being, one, it’s one of the best schools to go for my degree which is Aerospace Engineering, they are well known and have a lot of connections which could help with my career goals. The second reason is that the campus and community are things that I could really see myself fitting into and thriving there.

I would choose Anderson University for my nursing degree for their state of the art facility and option to study using cadavers.

I would always pick MIT. I am an international student and MIT helps international student a lot with the financial support. Despite that MIT has always been my dream since years.

If I had the opportunity to attend any college of my choice, I would choose Princeton. I had visited the campus a few years back and fell in love with it. I believe that I would have the ability to attend academically but not financially. The atmosphere of the campus is very drawing to the eye. I had participated in their cheerleading clinic and their athletic facilities are very updated. I would love to even just spend one day there as a student athlete to experience what it is like.

If I can choose any college that I would like to attend might be University of California, San Bernardino. And the main reason is because they have the majors that I need to do my career. Their main majors are Psychology and Liberal Arts. Those are the majors I need to become a Academic counselor. I have seen the college before and I think its good for me and its in the city of LA which I have been before. So the place is familiar to me.

If I could pick any college to go to I would pick Vanderbilt. Even though I’ve never gone in person Vanderbilt has a beautiful campus, a great nursing program, and pretty ambitious looking students. I love how they seem happy to be there! I also went to their Road Show that was nearby and it just seems like it would open so many more doors for me since nursing isn’t the only thing they have that’s great. I’d put so much effort into my studies too because it seems like it’s a rigorous school.

If I could go to any college, I would go to Dartmouth University as it is one of the best universities for nursing. They offer a strong health sciences program with a great focus in health care and they have amazing opportunities for advanced degrees. The school is also close in distance with the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center which is one of the largest academic medical centers in the region. Having this access can provide me with high quality clinical training and hands on experience when it come real world healthcare settings.

If I could go to any college I would pick the University of Michigan-Ann Harbor. I would pick this school because it is one of the best schools to attend to become a sports medicine physician and they also are very selective because of the standards that are put on students attending which is going help me put my best food forward. It is also in one of the states that i would want to go to school in since I have family there and its not close to home.

I chose Georgetown University Law Center for my Master of Laws because of its exceptional academic environment and its unique position at the heart of legal and policy development. Georgetown offers cutting-edge courses that align directly with the most current global legal challenges, taught by distinguished faculty who are recognized leaders in their fields and actively engaged in shaping the law. Additionally, its location in Washington, D.C. provides unparalleled access to international organizations, government institutions, and influential legal networks, creating a dynamic space where theory and practice come together. For me, Georgetown Law represents the ideal setting to expand my expertise and elevate my professional career.

If I could pick any College, I would attend Anderson University (SC) for their DPT program where I can have a career in helping others in a healthy lifestyle. I believe Anderson University has already shown me that they have great values for their students and would encourage me to be my best self! They have a small class for their physical therapy program and I was just invited in! I would love to go there, becoming a Trojan is my goal and I want to build my future here without the financial stress of paying for school.

I would love to be able to continue my college education at Messiah University because of the wonderful, supportive, and encouraging community that they provide to students with lots of resources to help me thrive.
