In about November I decided I would be going to Rocky Mountain College to continue my education. I applied in January and was accepted about a week and a half later. In mid February I received a letter that congratulated me on receiving an $11,000 scholarship from the school. I then did early action and was an official Rocky student on February 15.
Since my acceptance I've received countless letters from school officials including the president of the school, deans, and councilors. I don't know if that is normal because Rocky was the only school I applied to. But whether it is or not, it makes me feel welcome there.
Yesterday was my first official campus visit. My mom and I met with my admission councilor Austin and talked about the school. He informed me that about 20 students from Senior will be at Rocky next year, and there were around 20 from last year too. This puts me at ease because I only knew 3 or 4 kids from Senior that were going there.
After talking for a few minutes, the three of us walked to the cafeteria to eat lunch. The variety wasn't too big, but the open-face turkey sandwiches my mom and I had were delicious.
Austin told us there were about 1000 students at Rocky. I really like that. He said the average class size is about 14 students with the largest being 60. Throughout my campus tour is saw nearly all(7) of the students that I know currently attend Rocky. That goes to show how small the place really is. But it also made me feel very at home. It's practically impossible for me to walk across campus without seeing someone I know. And I only know .01 of the population.
The buildings and grounds are very inviting too. The landscaping is just beautiful. The dorms aren't really that great, but I'm sure they are livable.
All in all, I'm now very excited to go to Rocky and I'm no longer hesitant that I made the right choice in schools. I can't wait for high school to be over and to move on to bigger things.
