Many factors go into one making a decision, like what you want, how it will effect the ones around you, is it the right choice, is it the wrong choice, will help you in the long run, etc. One of the biggest decisions a teenager makes growing up is choosing what college they want to go to, if they decide to go at all. This decision not only affects your future, it affects your family, friends, and society as a whole.
I had trouble deciding between the two colleges Boston University and Michigan State University. I had to consider all of the factors; location, weather, team, coach, majors, and happiness. I then broke it down. Michigan is far from home, but I have a lot of relatives scattered through out Michigan. Boston is not located as far away, but I have an aunt and uncle near by. In Michigan the weather is cold and snowy, but I love the snow. In Boston, the weather is cold but not too much different then PA. At MSU the team seemed down to earth and people I could see myself getting along with. I never got the chance to meet BU’s team. The coach at MSU, Rolf, trains in a European way and gives days rest to his players. BU’s Coach, Ainslee, trains hard and runs more of an American style play. Both coaches are equally liked and have knowledge of the sport. MSU had all the majors I wanted to look into concerning Nutrition, Dietitian, Kinesiology, and psychology. BU did not have the same level of education in these areas like MSU did. I decided I would be happier at MSU.
This decision effected the world around me because I took a stop someone else could have taken, I’m moving closer to relatives, moving farther from my close family, and taking courses that I’m passionate about.
