In "High School Musical 3" Sharpay sings the lyrics, “Don’t you see that bigger is better and better is bigger, a little bit is never enough.” Sorry Ms. Evans, but I think you may have been wrong on this one. Going to a smaller college is one of the best choices that I’ve made.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure that there are tons of perks to going to a huge college or university, it just isn’t for me. You see, I’ve fallen in love with the atmosphere. The campus of Messiah College may be quaint, but it’s gorgeous. Nothing, in my humble opinion, can beat the view from the soccer field, especially at sunset. Yeah, I’m sure you get nice views at any school, but I can practically see the whole campus from this point.

The size of the campus also plays perfectly to the fact that I love sleep. No, more than that, I’m in love with sleep. So, the more the merrier, right? The fact that I can get to all of my classes in less than five minutes definitely lets me sleep longer; what more could I want? Honestly, I could probably get anywhere within five to ten minutes.

Now onto the more academic side of things. The smaller the school, the smaller the class size. In every movie about college that I’ve ever seen, there has been a fairly large room with the professor lecturing at the students. At a small school this definitely isn’t the case. Class sizes are reminiscent of high school, if not smaller which I absolutely love. Nothing is better than knowing that each of my personal questions can get answered easily because the prof isn’t catering to the needs of fifty to a hundred students, but instead just twenty or thirty.

Okay, now here’s my absolute favorite part: the community. Honestly, everyone is just so nice and welcoming. Of course, it isn’t possible to be friends with absolutely everyone, but you start to see the same faces everywhere you go (which is super helpful if you spot a cute boy because you’re guaranteed to see him again). But seriously, it feels so welcoming to see those faces and be greeted by warm smiles wherever you go.

Obviously, a small college isn’t going to be the best for everyone. However, if you’re a super relational person like me, then it might be the type of school to consider.

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.
