Why I Enjoy Going to a Small School
Allysa Gibson

Whether you attend a small, private college or a huge university, there are perks with each. I love my small school and here's why:

1. There's something for everyone

With many different majors as well as activities, you'll find your niche on campus.

2. Different kind of classes

There are so many interesting classes. Even a women's class about Beyonce. #slay!

3. Diverse group of students

My school has a lot of international and exchange students which allows for much diversity on campus.

4. Many clubs and activities

Want to join quidditch? How about a cab specific to your major? Your small school will have it.

5. small class sizes

It's important to me to have smaller classes, and it makes asking questions in classes a lot less scary.

6. Cool things on campus

There's always great events on campus like free massages and crafts.

7. easy to get jobs on campus

The little offices and bookstore on campus make it easy to make some extra money.

8. You make many close connections

Between job opportunities and people that would write a letter of recommendation for you, you can make many close ties when going to a small school.

9. Your professor knows you by name

It's just nice being handed your paper personally rather than your name being called out to the class.

10. Short walks to class

It'll only take at least 5 minutes to get to class, if that!

11. The small town, homey environment

Everything and everyone seems to be connected, and it's a comforting feeling.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
