Being a junior means many things, HSPA, SATs, and all that good stuff. However, part of the fun is starting to look at colleges/universities. In honor of COLLEGE DAY here at East Side High School, I am offering you the opportunity to earn some extra credit points by researching TWO colleges/universities that you are interested in. This is what you will do. RESEARCH two colleges and find out specific information about each one. Then, you will post your findings on the blog:
Criteria:

· Suggested SAT scores

14 apartment style residence halls offer you comfortable space. Many activities such as movies concerts and field trips are available. Healthy and fresh food is offered in the dining hall. Of campus she can go bike riding, hiking horseback riding, skiing, snowboarding, and many other things.
The reason I have made Pitts my first choice for a college is because it caught my attention. Pitts has a volleyball team and the majors i want to study which is criminal justice. PA is a comfortable location and the campus is welcoming. The SAT and GPA are both doable for me. I really like this college and believe it suits me.

Dorming allows you to meet new people. You have many activities you can attend such as dances and roadtrips. There are many clubs and sports to choose from as well.
Rugters is an interesting place and when i saw the video for this school it caught my attention. It has the major i want to study but not the sport i would enjoy playing. Everything sounds great but this would be my last option when it comes to colleges.
