College Visit - North Central College
Last Friday I missed school and went to Naperville to visit North Central College for a second time. Now, normally once you visit a college once you have idea of if you want to go there or not. But for me, I had to make a more difficult decision based on if I want to play volleyball there or not. So, since they are recruiting me they wanted me to stay overnight with some of the girls on the volleyball team. When I arrived I met with the head and assistant coaches of the team and we talked about my schedule for the day and night. Then, Coach Anna walked me to the first class I was going to attend. The class was called "Drugs and Behaviors" it was so interesting and I enjoyed sitting in on that class. I also go to meet 3 girls from the team that took that class so it was fine. Then after that was done I walked to the next class I was taking with a freshman player. This class was just Intro to Psych. One thing about sitting in on this class was that everyone was very quiet and didn't participate in group discussions. Even though I was not part of the class and was just visiting, I answered more questions than the people actually taking the class... After that we went back to my hosts dorm room and got settled. We then went to "The Cage" to eat dinner, that is the name of one of their dinning halls. After dinner a friend of theirs took us to the mall and we just kinda walked around for a while. When we got home from the mall a few girls and guys came over to Britt and Amanda's room (my hosts). All day they talked about how we were going to go out that night and then we never ended up leaving their dorm, so to me that was pretty boring. Especially coming from a high school where my friends go out EVERY WEEKEND, no matter what. So the night itself didnt really live up to what I expected a "college experience" to be like, which changed my decision on where I want to attend school. It probably will not be at NCC.
