<p>How can I write a good essay when the college is asking such a boring question, like "In 300 words or less, explain why you want to go to ....University" . Has anyone here been forced to write something similar to this? If so, what did you do to make it interesting or spice it up so it's at least not EXACTLY the same essay as everyone else applying? (i.e. 'I want to go to ...University because I really like it and can see myself studying here for the next 4 years....)</p>
<p>The better you know the university, the more persuasive your essay can be.</p>
