Okay everyone, it is already week five! Right now, the top contenders for me are Converse College in Spartanburg, South Carolina and Wagner College in Staten Island, New York. There are, of course, a few reasons why I gravitated towards these colleges. For starters, as I said in my last blog post, I always imagined myself going out-of-state for college and these are both a fairly long way from home (sorry Mom and Dad). Then, there is the fact that neither Converse College nor Wagner College are on Princeton Review's top 20 list for college/university theater programs. In all honesty, that is completely fine with me. While it would be cool to attend one of the colleges or universities listed as a top 20 school for theater, it might put more pressure on the students to succeed. While pressure might be what some students need in order to achieve their full potential, that is not really how I, as people put it, “roll.” Nobody said that choosing a place for your higher education was easy, with this blog and my spreadsheet though, I feel like I am moving in the right direction.
I am organizing factors that people think about when trying to choose a college or university. I am keeping people consistently updated through this blog about theater and college and choosing (subjects that fit perfectly into my blog’s name). Honestly, I would be lying if I did not change my top picks for colleges...a ton. The thing is, I think the reasons for my constantly changing preferences include both my natural sense of complete indecisiveness (cynical, but true) and the fact that it feels like I am constantly trying to figure out what definite factors matter to me the most. That is something that I thought I knew completely from the start, however, the Genius Hour project has since completely proved me wrong. I know a few definite factors that you can see at the beginning of this blog post, like location and if they are on the top 20 list. I am working on it though, so expect definite answers soon!
