Colleges =]

The two colleges that I'm thinking about are Fresno State University and Humbodlt State University. i've been planning to go to Humboldt for a while now, becuase all my relatives live over there and they have a great nursing progam. Their website was very thorough and the cost isn't too bad. Plus they give out 5,000 scholarships every year, and they have a form you can fill out on their website to see how many apply to you. If I went to Humboldt state I would have a place to stay off campus, yet very close to it. I would also have two different hospitals available to me so I can do my internship with. I'm not positive I want to major in nursing, but they have business majors as well which I think would be good to get in to. They also have spanish as a minor which I would like to persue.

I'm thinking about Fresno, because I've been in Ag for the last 2 years and they have a wonderful Ag program and have majors for pre-vetinary studies. I also know two really close friends that live in Friant by the lake, that I will be able to visit. Plus it's right next to a lake and I love the lake, I think it would be so much fun to go out with friends to the lake and hangout on weekends. I believe that mroe scholarships would apply to me at Fresno then at HUmboldt just becuase of my Ag experience, but they don't have a major in nursing. So I'm taking ROP Nursing next year and if I like it enough to persue it in college then I will most likely go to Humboldt, but if I dont like it I will think about being about and going to Fresno.

Fresno is a larger city then Arcata which worries me, becuase I have nver lived in the city before. It also has 22,000 students while Humboldt has around 8,000. So I'm undecided, but my best friend and I have been planning to go to Humboldt for a while now, and her sister is a freshmen there this year. I love Humboldt's campus it's so pretty, with the forest right next to it. Plus I'm familiar with the town since we visit often. Fresno, I only visit once a year and it's usually Friant we go to not the actual city.
