<p>I hate topics like these. =.="</p>
<h2>honestly, I have no other reason to go to that college besides the fact that it offers my major. Bluntly speaking, I'm going there "because it's near where I live" </h2>
<p>If you do get questions like these, what are you supposed to write about?
sweet talking about the college and facilities don't help.</p>
<p>You can write about how this is the college that offers the major you’re interested in, and then elaborate on your resolve to pursue this area of study. You can research that specific department and mention how it impressed you in some way.</p>
<p>Have you visited the school? If so, was there anything unique about the environment that appealed to you? You can certainly incorporate the proximity of the school into your discussion of your college choice; perhaps you can say that your familiarity with the school prompted you to pick it over similar options, because you know it so well that you know you’ll feel at home there? Just some ideas. I don’t like this type of essay that much either :P.</p>
<p>^^ thanks for your advice :]]</p>
<p>When I ran into questions like these, I resorted to the school’s website. Of course, don’t make it a shallow analysis of what you found, there’s a lot of exploring that can be done through the student life and academic programs sections of a college’s website - pick out two or three distinct features that really stood out to you.</p>
<p>Definitely use the website. Just say you really like the program they have for your degree because of X, Y, and Z. Or talk about how their career services office has really great internship opportunities that will allow you to get experience in your field before you graduate, etc. Just make sure to check the website to see if what you want to say actually applies. Use their terminology too - then they’ll know you’re paying attention and that you’re actually interested. :)</p>
<p>I’m surprised no one’s mentioned using this very site yet! Go to the college’s thread and see what people have to say about student life there. Current/former students provide more human insight into what makes a school attractive than what a brochure or informational web site can offer.</p>
