So I have about a week to make my decision, and I still am having way too much trouble with this. I want to be an English and Classics major and somehow get my teaching certification to teach high school English. Not sure how I want to do this because my main goal is to go to grad school and become a professor. I absolutely love learning and academia which is why I want to become a teacher. I love the campus and intellectual atmosphere at William and Mary and it has the programs I’m looking for. But, I am worried that it will be too difficult for me since I am so used to being at the top of my class. I have no problems with the lack of a party atmosphere-that’s part of what I love! I also love the traditions and history of the campus. I love how small Bucknell is and I felt at home right away. The professors seemed so dedicated to their undergrads. But I am a little wary of the very small town and the large Greek presence. I live in Delaware so there are many benefits to going to the University of Delaware like instate tuition, being close to my family and friends (not as scary a transition), the amount of AP credits I would have, and the Honors Program. However, UD does not have the exact program I want (I could make it work though). I NEED HELP! As an outside observer, where should I go?
