Small, close-to-home, Catholic affiliated, and academically well-known were the top four criterion on my list as I applied to colleges. As a high schooler heading to college, these characteristics embodied who I was as a person and as a learner. Now, as I reflect back on my decision a few years later, I recognize that Loras fulfilled my initial needs, plus embedded within me a desire for knowledge that I was unaware I needed. The knowledge that I acquired through major specific, general education, and elective courses, along with my extracurricular involvement and volunteer opportunities, molded me into an active learner and responsible contributor.
