We just got back from visiting Susquehanna and my daughter is truly so excited about attending there in the fall. We live in Florida and it wasn’t even on our radar until I read about it in a parent’s Facebook group. We visited for the first time back in June while doing a college visitation road trip to Centre College (KY), Belmont University (TN) and Sewanee: University of the South (TN). We had already toured Mercer University in Macon & Stetson Univ in Deland, Floirda and those 2 were her #1 and #2. After meeting with the track and field coach at Susquehanna, doing a tour and admissions presentations, my daughter knew the other 3 colleges we were visiting would have a hard time comparing. After visiting them, Sewanee and Belmost were immediately crossed of the list. She hated both. Centre College was nice, but she decided to apply ED to Susquehanna in August, was admitted in October and awarded a trustree’s scholarship. We made the deposit and then in December she was awarded a Tuition Exchange full-tuition scholarship. She is REALLY looking forward to being a River Hawk, and plans to study Ecology and Environmental Science.
