<p>Over the summer, I fell in love with Dickinson College. As soon as I started driving through the campus, I had the feeling everyone describes when they have figured out at what school they belong. I went to visit Dickinson again earlier this week, and I was still in love with it during the tour and while talking to current students about their studies and opportunities. I sat in on classes and ate in the cafeteria and had no problems. By the end of the day, I was still very much in love with the school, but I began to second guess myself. Not until this week did I start to find faults in the rural town of Carlisle or that the college is only a 45 minute (30 if you like to push speed limits) drive from my front door. I went there planning on applying ED, but I am not sure if I want to make that commitment anymore because I really like options. </p>
<p>I also do not know what to do if I am not applying ED because I was planning to for so long. Most of the colleges I toured were in the counties surrounding my own, and they were all really similar to Dickinson in their goals and achievements as LACs. Should I try to tour colleges farther away and in more urban areas because I think that is what I want? Or if I do not have time to tour, should I apply now and tour later? I am just very unsure about everything after touring Dickinson for the second time, mostly because of the location of the campus.</p>
