Finding The Perfect School: Personal Narrative

The college process without a doubt is an intimidating process. The standardized tests, college visits, transcripts, and much more. It can be hard trying to find the “perfect” school. However, with Marquette, I think I discovered the perfect fit. From the moment I stepped on campus on a beautiful crisp spring day, something felt different. I had never felt this feeling at any other college I visited. Marquette felt like home and I could see myself spending the next big chapter of my life there. Growing up in a small suburb southwest of Chicago, there was never much ever going on. Typical Friday nights would consist of football games under the lights and getting food at a local fast food chain with some friends. Sure, at first this doesn’t seem like a problem. However, as I have got older I could see myself having to drive further and further out of town in an attempt to find some sort of entertainment. Don’t get me wrong, I still love my small town but I’m looking for something a little more in life. This is why I believe Marquette is the perfect fit for me. Located right by downtown Milwaukee, there is always something going on but it is far enough away
Due to the six-year program Marquette offers, I would be able to finish my studies quicker which would eventually allow me to start helping people quicker. Additionally, Marquette has one of the top-rated Physical Therapy programs in the country which would allow me to get one the best educations available. Finally, due to its close proximity to a thriving city, Marquette would allow me to make many valuable connections to other people in the Physical Therapy field which would benefit me greatly by giving me a head start in the job market before I even graduate. As a driven student, it is my dream to be able to receive an education and eventually a degree from Marquette
