Choosing a College

As many high school seniors, Brandon has been applying to colleges.   This is one of the toughest decisions that a teenager must make. One that will affect the rest of his life. 

I doubt there will be a clear cut 'yes' when it comes to making his college decision.  I'm sure he will question whether he is making the right decision or not.  I fear that any doubt in his decision process will increases his stress and anxiety. It's a huge commitment.  

We toured both big and small colleges/universities. Both offer advantages and disadvantages, depending upon your personality.  Brandon is a very social person. I believe that he would do well in a large university.  However, he surprised me when he expressed interest in a smaller, private college.

MILLERSVILLE UNIVERSITY
(Brandon's grandfather attended)


 LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE
(Brandon's uncle attended)


ELIZABETHTOWN COLLEGE
(Brandon's hockey coach/English teacher and Sociology teacher attended)

WEST CHESTER UNIVERSITY
(Brandon's favorite).

It was exciting to receive the first acceptance letters!


We are all waiting on pins and needles for a few more before Brandon decides which is the right fit.
