Not really, I actually didn’t pick Morningside College just because it was a Liberal Arts College. I actually picked this college because it was close to home and wouldn’t take up a lot of gas to get from where I live to college. Furthermore, I don’t have to live in dorms nor pay for boarding fees because I live with parents and that’s free. This is why Morningside was my first choice for college because of distance, otherwise I could’ve chosen a state college like ISU, but that wouldn’t be a great choice because of distance from home and other factors.

However, going to a Liberal Arts school did affect me, I totally love it here at Morningside. I learned so many new things and the school is somewhat diverse in population. I don’t really feel alone… okay I kind of lied because I’m the only foreign looking face in my entire Passport class, but I didn’t feel much difference in the class, everyone was friendly. (Not trying to sound racist or anything I just want to prove a point that Morningside accepts all ethnic groups.) Being at a Liberal Arts school really opened my eyes to many things like Western Religions and tolerance towards differences across gender, race, etc. I have gained more knowledge going to Morningside, I was able to develop, well more like enhance my abilities to think critically, furthermore, coming here or attending Morningside helped me cope with my fear of public speaking. In addition, I feel my weaknesses in high school such as writing now have been strengthened because I attend a Liberal Arts college. I have developed better skills in writing formal papers, creative papers, etc.
