| So. Aquinas. Very beautiful campus. The buildings are all old but not in a bad way, in a cute way. It very much reminds me of the Catholic school I went to in Illinois. It's really small student-wise. 18 kids per class, about 300 something in the current freshman class. That's half of my senior class. We only saw maybe 30 kids and 18 of them were in a classroom we walked by. The theatre is so cool. I had forgotten how much I loved acting. Their theatre is small and cute. The acoustics are fantastic. Our tour person was talking in her normal voice while my mom and I were across the theatre and we heard her perfectly. It reminds me a lot of the ancient Greek theatres. Kelly knows what I'm talking about. I never knew how small dorms were! We stopped in a dorm room and it was tiny. I should organize my thoughts. First we came in, got this huge folder full of stuff, socialized and the dean said some things. That was in the Wege Center. Then we walked over to the Lacks and Jarecki Centers and sat in on three little information things. You could choose from athletics, campus life, school something, travel abroad, something, financial aid and their scholarship program. Some ran at different times but there were three blocks of time. We (my mom, my dad and I) went to the travel abroad thing, the financial aid thing and the campus life thing. The travel abroad program sounds so awesome. I've always wanted out of here but it sounds even better now. You could go to Germany, France, Spain, Costa Rica, Ireland, Japan or some sister colleges somewhere in the US. And maybe some other places that I'm forgetting. I'd love to go to France and Japan. In Japan, you go to the Seikei University in Tokyo while in France you do something something. The financial aid thing was boring and more for my parents' interest/need than mine. The guy who presented it was interesting though. The campus life thing was nifty. I didn't know that they had so many things you could do, so many clubs. They have a café in the Carriage House called The Mouse. It's very quaint and very college-like. After the information things, we could choose to go with certain groups on a tour: theatre, science, sports and something else. I was thinking of going on the science one but I absolutely love theatre so that won. First we went to the dorms and that was cool. Next we backtracked to the Carriage House and that was cool. Then we went to the theatre and THAT WAS AWESOME. After that, we went to the Academic Building and saw a classroom and walked my a class. The class we walked by was the Calculus class and the teacher was really cool. We went to the library and then through a tunnel to the Wege Center to eat and see the little Corner Cafe thing they have. Then there was food! We went back upstairs to where we started to talk to the head of each department at the "round table discussion". All in all, I think that I really want to go to Aquinas. Though I don't have much to compare it to so yeah. I love you all. |

shinigami | 11-20-04 3:51pm I've always thought Aquinas was cool, and if it weren't so expensive I would have gone there. But that sounds really cool, go if you can. Oh, and I know what you're talking about when you were talking about the Greek theater and the one at Aquinas. |
