<p>Kalamazoo is indeed a hidden gem. I absolutely loved it there and spent hours trying to weigh the pros and cons of the two. It came so close… The other prospies were flipping coins to help me pick. If it had come down to Grinnell and K instead of Colorado and K, I would’ve picked K hands down.</p>
<p>They’re both amazing in completely different ways. K would satisfy my love of art; C would satisfy my love of the outdoors. You really can’t stereotype a Kalamazoo kid because they’re all so different, and that makes for an amazing college experience. Especially coupled with their open curriculum. But in the end, the outdoorsy environment and students at CC were the defining factor. K has LandSea, but most of the students there haven’t done anything like it before then. The people I met were all fun, intelligent and friendly people, but I couldn’t quite click as well with them. Everyone I spoke with (including the friends I’d just made at K who will be attending K this year) agreed that although I’d thrive at both schools, I was very clearly a Colorado kid.</p>
<p>Thank you to everyone that replied to the thread!</p>
