<p>D. is gong with her “feel” of place and people there. She is going to “feel” them out on second visits before she decided on Med. School. She went with her “gut feelings”, the place that fit her personality the best and had opportunities outside of academics as well when choosing UG. Pretty campus and non-city location in a middle of nowhere were important at that time. Being comfortable for 4 years of your life is important and so are opportunites there that could be predicted somewhat by amount of your Merit awards - if they appreciate you and want you badly, you will have great opportunities there, not only on financial side but pursuing all of your interests. It has all exceeded her/ours expectations by far in many aspects of D’s UG education. </p>
<p>Trust yourself, go where you think you will be happy, do not calculate too much. Actually, any place will work for hard working person, although some places might open more doors and give more chances than others. According to D., opportunities were there, she grabbed them, while others were passing by.</p>
