So what is up with college? Where am I going? What will I be doing? Well, here it is in a nutshell... I will be attending Indiana Wesleyan University (IWU) in the fall of 2008. IWU is located in Marion, IN which is about 2 and a half hours NW of Dayton and a little over an hour NE of Indianapolis. It's a fairly small Christian school, with about 3500 undergraduate students on campus. It has very modern and up-to-date facilities, including a brand new gazillion sqare foot communications building that opened this past fall (actual number unknown). It's a really nice campus and I really like the environment. For more detailed details, go here.
One of the biggest reasons I chose IWU is for policy of trust. At IWU, you don't start at the bottom of the "Good Kid" totem pole and have to work your way up. They start you at the top, and it's up to you whether or not you want to go down. They fully realize that all the students are adults, and expect them to act accordingly. Flowing from this is the extremely joyous lack of stupid rules. If you want to be stupid, there is no "rule" preventing you from being stupid- you will just suffer the consequences. This is very nice for all the kids (of which I count myself one) who don't want to be stupid. The rules that other institutions create that are intended for the stupid kids that end up affecting everyone don't exist! I couldn't have done it any better. I was immediately and warmly embraced by the notion of a school not governed by stupidity being countered with stupidity. Let's see, I got through that with only... 7 stupids. Moving on...
I will (most likely) be majoring in media communication, therefore joining the bevy of Scavo cousins who make their living pushing buttons. The brand spankin' new communications building mentioned above is where I'll be spending most of my Junior and Senior years. I don't know many details about the program itself because I have a few years until I actually start it.
I think that's about it. If you have any other questions that I didn't answer, utilize the privilege to post a comment!

How is their Chinese Food? What is the "malla-femina" ratio? Remember you have to stake out a girl to wash all your dark clothes. Do they have a heating and air-conditioning program just in case media-comm is too easy? Make sure you don't get a roommate from Swaziland or even worse, a home-schooler. How many chapels do you have to attend?
If you have to start at the top, jump off the pedestal the first day. Then you can spend the next four years being the most improved sinner. You won't appreciate what a great time college is till it's over and you have to work the night shift, punch a clock and pay back the loans. "Would you like fries with that"?
