Choosing the right college to attend can be a daunting task.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I remember dreading this decision myself after going on several college tours. However, visiting Winona State University was a different story.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At first, I was hesitant to even tour WSU, but <\/span>the second I stepped on campus, I felt at home<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Between the town\u2019s atmosphere, the beautiful bluffs, and its location on the Mississippi, WSU seemed like the perfect \u201chome away from home\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

On my visit, my parents and I learned about the <\/span>tutoring services<\/span><\/a> WSU offers as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There are many different ways of accessing tutoring on campus and online, which I knew would be helpful, especially as a first-year student.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another thing WSU offered me was the opportunity to continue to play in both <\/span>concert and pep band<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Through pursuing band, not only would I be able to keep up my favorite hobby, but also I knew it would be a great chance to find friends with the same interests as me. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lastly, I was attracted to WSU because it is only about an hour\u2019s drive from my hometown. This allows me to come home every weekend.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Currently, when I tell people from my hometown that I attend WSU, I hear nothing but good things.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I have even found out that many people from my small town have attended WSU.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I am proud to have chosen Winona State University because of all of the opportunities offered to me, and I cannot wait for what it holds for my future.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
