Another way to view the essay is this: it is more about what “you” bring to them, rather the other way around. If you can talk about the character traits that make you unique and connect that to the things you love/make you a good fit to the college, that would be ideal. The college already knows how awesome they are and how they might be a great “home” for many students, but they are looking to get to know you more and why you would thrive in such an environment while making sure you have taken the time to think about the question.
