Why I Want To Go To College

There are many reasons why SMU appeals to me and is my 1st choice for college.

One reason is that I want to get a high education, specifically in the pre-med

program. Another reason is that the campus is not very far from home, but it is

far enough to have personal space from family. Also, the campus' diversity is

one of the biggest factors for me because I want to go to a university where I am able

to meet people of every kind.

All of these reasons are simple common reasons why anybody would want to attend any

college. I also have personal reasons and experiences as to why I want to attend SMU. When I attended the college fair at my high school, SMU stood out to me. I was indecisive about where I wanted to go until I went up to the booth,

and the representative started talking to me about the school. She described the scenery, the tuition, the academics, the community, and so much more. That day, I instantly figured out my dream school. I went home and did a bunch of research and officially decided that this was the school for me.
Another personal reason I want to attend is that I have an older family friend that attends SMU. She has gone there for 2 years and says that she is completely in love with the school and it is everything she has ever dreamed of. She describes it as a unique school, with an accepting community and amazing academic programs.
Although there are many reasons why one would want to attend SMU such as the
diversity, the academics, and the strong community are the top three reasons I would love to attend. My personal reasons also enhance my knowledge on the school and desire to attend.
