 I've always been a big believer in helping out my community and I'm not too far away from Fenimore, Wisconsin, only a 10 minute drive so I look at all the surrounding areas as my community and what better way to help the community out than go to the local college. The smaller campus eyes at LTC really helped me feel like I could belong to something and still keep a sense of myself. When you go to a larger campus you kind of blend into a crowd and you tend to forget who you are. I live in less than a block from Mid-State Technical College in Stevens Point so it just seemed like the natural choice. I knew that the class sizes were smaller. I wasn't on a university campus that was so overwhelming. I'm at a small local campus. I'm actually on the smallest campus of the four WITC campuses which is cool because it feels just like home. I'm comfortable. That would also kind of play into why I chose WITC. It was the small hometown campus that reminded me of my hometown. It's a wonderful place. I think that I'm going to really find success there. I was one of those that looked at the Tech College as like, well, all right, it's a stepping stone but it's not going to hold as much value as, you know, if I was at a new university. I'm so wrong. I'm so wrong. And I'm glad I'm wrong. I really am. Sure, I decided to attend Western because of the proximity of my home but they have the highest academic standards of any institution I've ever met. The instructors want to get to know their students. Personally, they want to help you. They want you to succeed.
