Large University vs. Small College
Choosing what type of school you want to go to for your college degree can be very hard. Some people want big schools while others want to go to a school with tens of thousands of students.
For me, choosing the type of school was super easy. I wanted to go to a big university for a number of reasons. My high school was a charter school with 400 students total. I didn’t really like high school because my experience was different than that of my friends’ who went to other schools. At my high school, we didn’t have football games and the sports that we did have no one went to the games because our team was not that good. Also, my high school was not that into school spirit and I missed that from my middle school. During my middle school career, there were a ton of spirit days where if someone did not dress up for the day’s theme, they were not talked to the whole day.
I chose to attend the University of Oregon because I noticed the school spirit at the sports games, especially at the football games. I also wanted to go to a big school because I could join more clubs and meet more people from across the country compared to a smaller school.
Since attending the UO, I have not changed my mind. When I stepped foot on campus for orientation, I knew I would love every second of being a student. There are so many events and all of the students want to be there. I have noticed that being at a bigger school allows students to gain more networking opportunities.
