Hey,
I need to decide if I want to go to WWU or Evergreen by May 1st, which, apparently, is this Sunday.
I visited them both this week, and I like both of them for different reasons.
There were more people at Evergreen that were like me (from what I saw/heard), and it seems to be a very self-directed style, which I like.
plus there was a drum circle
However, it’s small (4,000), and I’m skeptical as to how effective and self-directed the “programs” actually are. I’m also concerned about the quality of other students… even though I like hippies and am sometimes accused of being one, I don’t want to be surrounded by them, especially “burn outs” whose whole philosophy/identity is just based on what image they want to portray. But not everyone I saw there looked like that, so that’s good.
WWU is more of the size I want, and I like Bellingham more than Olympia, and I liked the campus itself more, the “feel” was very comfortable.
However, it seemed like I wouldn’t identify with the students as much over there, or if I did, I might jeopardize what I want to do with my life (maybe convince myself to do a major I don’t want to do… I don’t know… The students seemed a lot like my high school, which is fine I guess, I don’t have any trouble making friends over here, but I feel that if I met more peple like me, I would maybe define myself better or something… like right now… if I wanted to go to black and white photographs with someone and then discuss them, I wouldn’t be able to find anyone to go with me, but I’m hoping that wherever I go to college I’ll be able to find people to. OF course, being with different kinds of people can influence you for the better, and perhaps make me more unique/Idon’tknowwhat
I’m rambling now.
Anyways, anyone have any insight/opinions/advice for me?
Oh yeah, I plan to major in writing or literature, but I also want to experiment with art and photography and movies
thanks
