Right now, two days before the deadline, I’m stuck deciding between 2 colleges: Baylor and FSU.
I’ve made several pros/cons lists and although several people have told me there is no bad choice, I still want to make the best decision for myself.
About me:
I don’t think I have a preference between mid-size and large schools, but I’m not sure.
My major would be business/foreign relations, but I don’t want to base my choice off solely off of a major because of the likelihood that it would change.
The business schools for each school are similar in ranking and in style (become a business major if you get into the actual major after soph. year), but I am intrigued by Baylor’s business program where you create a business major.
My biggest fear for FSU is its reputation as a party school and I don’t want to get lost in a world where academics are second, or feel like an outcast because I don’t party every other day.
My biggest fear about Baylor is that there is little diversity there and I would feel trapped in a college where everybody is the same in a city where there is very little to do. (FSU’s location is much better in my eyes).
I also hope to spend a semester or more abroad and know FSU’s study abroad programs are great, but I don’t know as much about Baylor’s.
I want to avoid becoming a super senior as much as possible.
I feel like FSU, as a larger school, will give me more opportunities to find out about myself, but I’m not sure.
I don’t really know anybody attending FSU next year, but I do have one friend who will be at Baylor.
