MCLA seems like a really nice school.
PROS AND CONS
+ beautiful area (the berkshires = lovely)
+ small campus
+ small student population (less than shepherd hill)
+ equestrian clubs
+ psychology major
+ english/communications major
+ quiet campus
+ 5 minutes from MASS MoCA
+ 1/2 hour away from Jiminy Peak, and very close to other ski trails
+ i have a good chance of getting accepted
+ i MIGHT be able to have a car there (which means the 'rents are trading in the van for an SUV)
+ opportunity to participate in student radio, newspaper, and literary magazine
+ avg. 13:1 student to teacher ratio
+ study abroad (in scotland & australia)
+ school trips to foreign countries
+ PLENTY of internship opportunities at great places
- close to 3 hours from home, 3+ hours from boston
- isolated town
- feels like you're in Deliverance on the drive through the mountains (i swear i heard the dueling banjos)
- nothing palladium-like in the area, which means no shows except for the local acts that perform at the school
...so, as you see, the pros outweigh the cons by far. but of course i have more research to do. i believe Hampshire College is the next visit on the list, and then Salem State. i've decided against Pine Manor, mainly because it seems like a sort of "frou-frou" school, and i don't like the idea of going to an all girls school. i hate girls sometimes.
and all day i was thinking that i am terrified of leaving home & having to live on my own with a bunch of people i just met or don't even know. i am scared to death of leaving high school. i'm scared to part with everyone i love.
i. am. so. fucking. terrified.
