Factors that lead me to USF

Led me to USF:

Many of my friends have been or are applying to different schools that I want to get AWAY!
I didn’t get into get into USF unless I took this program.
I thought it would be a good way to meet people and get to know myself in the individual responsibility.
I wanted to LEAVE!!! Hahaha =]

SOMETHING THAT WOULD HAVE STOPPED ME FROM COMING HERE:
I wanted to go to school up in Boston or Indiana
I really wanted to closer to mom.
I was accepted to Florida Gulf Coast University.
I needed space.
I didn’t get a scholarship, but I have MANY goals and know I’m going to achieve them.
I just graduated high school a year early

Directly influenced me to go to school:
Both of my parents I have had both of my parents tell me that college is not a choice it’s a life—there’s no way ill be able to succeed without a college degree.

Directly influenced me not to go to school:
I don’t really remember who, but MANY people my friend Gabe, Dan, Rachel, even my stepmom told me USF is NOT the only school out there. Community college is OK too… but I wouldn’t go for less than just a university. People also told me that you don’t have to go to college to succeed. My friends mike and tori are getting married and working for the rest of their lives after high school.
