<p>Connected to or connected with?</p>
<p>“I would love to spend the next four years of my life at the school I am most connected ___”</p>
<p>First of all, it should be “I would love to spend the next four years of my life at the school ___ which I am most connected.”</p>
<p>Gotta love those dangling prepositions.</p>
<p>As for the “to” vs. with “question”, I think “to” sounds better.</p>
<p>Maybe consider recasting it a little: “of my life” can be eliminated, and the phrase “with/to which I am connected” is a little bit stiff (worse, the phrase “to be connected” suggests things like family connections, influence, etc.)</p>
<p>I would love to spend the next four years at college X, because I feel connected to its . . . </p>
<p>might be more direct and puts the emphasis on your positive feeling about the college</p>
<p>Marathon has it. Maybe even a little less wordy:</p>
<p>I would love to spend my college days at X because its A, B, and C are perfect for me.</p>
<p>If nothing else, spelling “its” correctly should get you some serious cred with the liberal arts grad reading your file.</p>
