2)A major that i might be interested in pursuing would be Business/Marketing.
University of Colorado
DeVry University
Whitworth University

I believe that my educational experience at Whitworth University would differ over the others because the location is ideal for where I would like to be, the program the University offers is directly the field i would like to be in, and the school is small with 20 to 30 kids in a class. I feel like the courses in the business program is perfect for what i am interested in. I love that the school is a small community and is a pleasant environment.




3)workshop- I attended the Selective College Admissions workshop.It was very informative on websites to go and practice filling out an application, also good tips on researching colleges. Learned it was very important to check dead lines. Was also informed on the many Finical Aid and Scholarships to look for in Colleges one may be interested in going to. This workshop was very helpful for when i am a senior or when i am looking at any college.


4)personal evaluation-
The most useful information was talking to the representative at Whitworth University, I had a few questions asked and the lady seemed very excited to talk to me. I am very interested in the school because of talking to this lady. I did not feel overwhelmed because i new what schools i wanted to look at or talk to, I feel I experienced a great start in looking for my future college.
