ÍøÆسԹÏ

The admissions process can feel like it is never-ending, but I love the adventure of it: next year, who knows where you'll be and who your best friends will be, and which clubs you'll have joined or founded?

It is a terrific opportunity for admissions and the campus at large to showcase all that the college and community has to offer aspiring ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï students. It's a red carpet-like treatment for families ...

Or, the trials of being a transfer student.

In my hopes to convince my sister (and you, ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï prospies) that small schools are where it's at, I've compiled a short list of just a few of the reasons enumerating why going to a smaller school is the best.

During spring break, I realized that this was that time of the year, when seniors find out where they're going, juniors visit colleges and worry about standardized test scores, and students road-trip

My name is Aleena, and I am a Yalie... I spent my past week visiting Dara at ÍøÆسԹÏ, and now I'd like to share my observations, because I truly believe that ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï is an incredible place, and it might be interesting hear about from a non-Obie perspective.

This one is for the parents whose children are applying Early Decision. This one is for you.

Perhaps more than you might think.

I spent a lot of time with my nose in the air and a crick in my neck when I visited my friend at Yale this week.

I tell you the story of how I came to be a student at ÍøÆسԹÏ. And I want to hear yours too!

Perhaps it is strange that an ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï blogger should write about almost not coming to ÍøÆسԹÏ, especially in a month when prospective students are trying to make their decisions about which school to attend, but I think it's important that you know that ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï does not have an aura of inevitability for everyone.
