I have been looking at colleges since 8th grade. It always excited me to be deciding my future. I was fascinated by all my choices, but now I've narrowed them down quite a bit. I want to stay close to home, but North Carolina and DC are exceptions. I want a small to medium sized college around 3,000-7,000. I want a green school. Most importantly, I want a college that is distinguished academically. My brother looked at Elon University when he was looking for colleges 4 years ago because we go to North Carolina every year on vacation. When I started searching, I researched it and went on a college tour there. I really fell in love with the campus, especially because of the location. It is within minutes of multiple large cities and 3 hours from the beach. I would love to go there. Unfortunately, it is selective and also expensive; they don't even give out a lot of scholarship money. All I can do now is do my best in school and on tests so that I'll have a good resume to send to Elon.
