Why mount vernon..

Four main reasons why I would go to this college is-

1. It's close to home but not close enough for parents to randomly pop by
2. It's not a super big college, as in population
3. Job placement is great, and great major programs
4. Good art and teaching program

I am thinking about maybe going into education because I love kids and teaching them about things in life and what they might need in the future. I don't know what yet, but this school would be able to make me the right decision and can help me out with all the techniques of teaching.

Conclusion

This school shocked me the most about how much they get you involved when you first come as a freshmen. They make sure that you don't miss home or anything. When I went for subs weekend, everyone there was so nice and it made me feel at home and i don't go there. I am definitely considering this college and would recommend it for anyone that wants to be semi close to home and want to feel at home.
