Creighton

Tonight I went to a Creighton University informational reception at the Luke lecture hall at Wo Center. I didn't want to go, but my dad made me go with him so that we could both learn more about the school before I decided that I didn't want to attend there. I applied to eight colleges, and the first one that accepted me was Creighton. I applied there because I know that they have very good science programs which is what I'm interested in. Anyway, me and my dad ended up at this reception. I observed all of the people that were there and tried to imagine myself with them next year if I decided to go to Creighton. It was hard for me to do that because they all seemed like they were extremely studious, and I am not extremely studious most of the time.

There were a handful of parents there who spoke to us and shared the experiences they had with their children at Creighton. They mentioned that if you are really focused and know what you want to do in terms of a career, Creighton is a good place because you will really study and there are minimum distractions. They never mentioned anything about any shopping malls being close by. This was a red flag because I wanted to be in an urban area, and omaha nebraska is definitely not the ideal place that I would want to live in.

I thought attending this reception was a good experience for me because I could make sure that I didn't want to go there. Sure enough, I still don't want to go there. But I'm glad I went to the reception just to make sure.

I'm a big city type of girl!! =)
