<p>You’re joking right? My parents have put two kids through college, they just don’t think New York is the right fit for me. They always say “Once they leave, they never come back”. They say it isn’t the right fit for me, but I really think they are scared I won’t come back to Louisville. I want to live in New York, or another big city. I don’t want to live in a suburban setting. Why can’t anyone respect that? I know what the purpose of college is: to get prepared to live on your own, become an adult, and be able to fully stand on your own two feet without mom and dad holding your hand. I can assure you from personal experience with comparing people who have attended those two colleges, and not just high school credentials, that University of Dayton is a better institution than University of Kentucky. Class difficulty, teachers, etc. High school credentials don’t mean a thing if you don’t consider what type of school the applicants attended and the type of classes taken. Dayton is a huge choice for many private high school students in Louisville, while UK is a very common choice for many public high school students. Public schools in Kentucky are a complete and utter joke.</p>
<p>Location of college is extremely important! If you stick an A+ high school student in a college that is in a living environment they hate, their grades will strongly reflect that. I can assure you from personal experience with my brother. He attended Morehead his freshman year, which is out in the middle of no where, and hated it. He finished with a 3.0, sophomore year he transferred to University of Louisville and finished with a 3.65 and just graduated with honors. I can also assure you that University of Louisville is a much better institution than Morehead State University, and University of Dayton is a better institution than University of Louisville.</p>
