My career choice is to be a registered nurse because I am good with people and work well with all types. Registered nurses generally have good incomes and usually have job opportunities anywhere in the world. My goal in life is to become a registered nurse and these are the three colleges I am researching: University of Florida, The Ohio State University, and University of South Florida.
My first college choice is University of Florida because it would be nice to go away for that experience. The tuition for graduates or undergraduates living on campus costs a lot more than living off campus. They offer eight-teen scholarships, thirty or more athletic or extracurricular activities, and the enrollment is $6,270. There are over thirty majors offered, the one I am interested in is the nursing program. The financial aids they can offer are scholarships, student loans, fellowships, and financial assistance. The students must have at least ten credits per semester.
The Ohio State University is my second college choice because I could still go away to college but be closer to my family. It would also be a good choice because I would still be in my home state and the tuition would cost less. The tuition for a single student is around $44,215. There are about thirteen scholarships offered, about sixty athletic and extracurricular activities, and they have over 175 majors are offered. Students must have ten credits per semester. The financial aid that is offered is Direct Subside Loans, Direct Unsubsidized Loans, Direct PLUS Loans, scholarships, and, student loans.

...te University is my second choice because it’s in my home state and I could still go away to college but be closer to my family than going away to Florida. Lastly, University of South Florida is my third choice because it’s not as expensive as University of Florida but I could still move away for a while. Registered nursing would be a great career for me because I am good with people. I would like to work in neonatal (NICU) because I like taking care of babies. There are always jobs available in any state or country, which would be a great opportunity to travel, along with a good pay scale.

  • Choosing a College: Case Western Reserve University vs. The Ohio State University

    ...Selecting a college to attend was a lengthy process. I applied to four different schools. I outweighed all the pros and cons of each college. The ultimate goal was to persevere and graduate with a degree. As a high school student, I think I found Ohio State appealing because of all the hype that surrounded it. Once I came to the conclusion that I wanted to go into the medical field, I realized that I needed to be in an atmosphere where I could maintain my focus. Nonetheless, the most consequential influencing factor was regarding finances. Case was extremely expensive but I received a substantial amount of financial help compared to Ohio State. In addition, I was fortunate to obtain a work study job that helped with living expenses. I knew that college would not be easy especially given Case’s reputation. In the end, I am confident I made the correct decision.

With that in mind, I chose a university that seemed to suit my needs, and I applied. Since I was accepted, I did't need to apply anywhere else.
