When choosing a college, most of us have many different options. I remember visiting a variety of campuses, trying to picture myself walking around and going to classes at each one. I didn't feel at home at any college until I visited Scranton. I could see myself here and I knew it was the place for me. I'm still glad that I made the decision to come here, and I could not imagine being anywhere else. Here are a few reasons why I am thankful that I go to the University of Scranton.

1. The campus is beautiful.

Especially when the weather is nice and the sun is shining, the campus can not compare to anywhere else. Even when it's a rainy, dreary day, the campus still looks great.

2. The people are always friendly.

Everyone is kind, holds the door open and says hi.

3. The food is great.

Coming to college, I was preparing for the worst food, but I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered how great the food is on campus. There are many options to choose from between third floor, first floor, Einstein and Bleecker Street.

4. The professors are kind and helpful.

The professors are always willing to meet with you to help you better understand the material. They want to see you do your best and succeed.

5. I have made great friends.

I'm thankful that I came here because I couldn't imagine my life without the friends I have made here.

6. It is safe.

I rarely worry about leaving my things in the library or dining hall or walking alone on campus.

7. There is always something going on.

There are always places to go or things to see either on or off campus.

8. I don't have to walk very far to get Starbucks or Dunkin'.

Let's be real: these are staples in almost all of our lives.

9. The wide variety of majors to pick from.

Most of our programs are renowned for being the best in the area.

10. I'm thankful for memories that I have made while I've been here.

They are ones that I will never forget.
