Why I chose to attend WSU?

When it came time to decide what college I wanted to attend I really didn’t have any in mind. I was a last minute person when it came to things. Towards the end of my senior year of high school my professional issues teacher told me “I need to be applying to some colleges because time is limited and its coming to an end.” As we discuss the steps I need to take for college I noticed that I have not done anything that I needed to do.  Wright state wasn’t my first choice or even at choice at all; I wanted to attend the University of Cincinnati or Northern Kentucky University. My ACT score was a 15 and I didn’t think that any college was going to accept me to be perfectly honest. After applying to a couple a colleges and Wright state not being one of the ones I applied to.  After getting denied from all the ones I applied to I received a catalog in the mail from Wright state and after looking over it and seeing what it has to offer. I see that they have my major and decide to apply and I wanted to get away from home and it was the perfect distance not too far and not to close. After applying and getting accepted I fill out my housing application and do everything else required by Wright state. I started winter quarter and will continue to be here until I graduate.
