  • Connections galore
  • Opportunity to intern with an Imagineer
  • Huge student body

Cons:

  • FRATSFRATSFRATS
  • What seem to be lame churches
  • Too much football
  • Generally kind of obnoxious
  • Huge freshman classes

Western Kentucky University

Pros:

  • GREAT photojournalism program
  • Much more likable student body than UA
  • Likely acceptance into the Honors Program
  • Close to Nashville and Louisville
  • What seem to be good churches
  • Best mascot ever
  • More likely to know my professors

Cons:

  • Cinderblock dorms
  • Roommate
  • Community bathrooms
  • No kitchen area

  • Know basically nobody

I’ll probably add more later.

College and stuff

To do my Honors College app or to not…

Why would I?  It’s all about ACT score.  No, really.  I’m not kidding.

Why waste my precious time? 

Oh well. 

At UA, no Honors College.

At WKU, Honors College.

Hmmm. Does my admittance make a difference on my decision?

First night in dorm room.

Does anyone have any particularly good passages or things of that nature for me to meditate on before going to a summer session of college?

I want to make sure my heart and mind are fully set on Him before I get there.

I am going to be praying that God sets His purpose clear for me so that I may honor Him and let Him use me as He pleases.

I’d be honored if you would pray for me, too.
