<p>I live 20 minutes from Mary Washington…I would like to be a bit further away from home than that although I am applying there…</p>
<p>And because I’m a Governor’s School student, my friends are applying to Florida Tech, Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech, UVA, Columbia, William & Mary, CNU, Georgetown, etc. So I understand why they are confused but I’m not going into engineering like most of them. It’s just a bit frustrating to be in love with a school that they all have as a safety. </p>
<p>I like Longwood and it does have a lot of business degrees though I’m going for economics and math in a dual degree not business. Farmville is the exact environment I want and it’s 2.5 hours from home which is just perfect.</p>
<p>I know the schools I’m applying to (Longwood, UVA, VT, Randolph College, Sweet Briar, UMW). It’s just odd to have people almost seem disappointed in the school that I want so much to go to.</p>
