I've always had a vague idea of what I wanted my college experience to include. Last year while I was searching for the right school for me, I found it very hard to decipher the information being thrown at me because I was not sure what it really meant or how much it mattered. I did not know whether prominent Greek life would be important to me, whether the size of the classes would affect me, or whether I would even notice a difference between 10,000 or 20,000 students on campus. After spending a semester as a college student, I have grown and have a much better understanding of what I want out of my college experience and what direction I would like my life to go.
One of the things that I have come to realize is very important to me is a strong Greek system. While I have an opportunity to become a sorority sister at Miami, the system is so insignificant that I have chosen to hold off on my participation. It is such a great opportunity to meet tons of girls similar to myself that I feel like I would be silly not to participate; however, I would prefer to get involved on a campus where the system is more embraced. One of the most important aspects of Greek life to me is the chance to participate in structured philanthropy. I have been involved in various community service groups on campus; however, I think that working for one cause with a specific group will allow me to make a greater impact.
Another thing I was unsure about while searching for a school was my intended major. Although various peers persuaded me that business was a smart choice, I was not sure what "business" exactly entailed. As a result of my wavering interest in the subject, I did not rank good business programs as an important criterion while searching. After taking several business courses, it has become blatantly obvious to me that marketing is my calling. I cannot regret not shopping around for the best marketing programs during my initial search; however, now that I have come to realize what it is that I would really like to pursue, I would love to have the opportunity to attend a school with a top tier business program.
Overall, What I am really looking for out of college is lifelong friendships and a great education and I am desperately seeking a place where I can find it all. I live with no regrets and I believe that spending the year in Miami has helped me grow into a much more cultured and mature being; however, I see room for improvement in my life and am taking steps to fill the voids I feel exist in my curent college experience.
