Those were the days...

It is hard to believe that it has been almost 12 years since I graduated from Bowling Green. I have such fond memories of my wonderful times at the school.

I originally decided on Bowling Green because of...

Pros: academics, social life
Cons: homogenous, weather

I entered Bowling Green State University in the fall of 1994 as a freshman and left in May of 1998 with a B.S.Ed. I had quite a few experiences and some wonderful adventures during my four years there.

Academics-I was an elementary education...

Pros: Campus is not too big and not to small; good-sized classes; great social scene
Cons: Campus and the town is built on flat land: the weather can be pretty bad at times

All through high school, I was grappling with the idea of going to college: "Do I go?" "Do I not go?" At 16, my girlfriends and I even came up with this crazy notion of starting up our own rock band. (None of us knew how to play...

Pros: Reasonable number of locations.
Cons: Price, price, food quality, price, limited hours.

Pros: Good food, relatively speaking
Cons: A little pricey, difficult to keep kosher

Bowling Green State University has been deemed the home of the best college dining service in the United States at several key competitions throughout the country. This fact is announced to every prospective student each year at summer orientation and...

Pros: helpful offices, good English department, dining food is priced in dollars and not meals
Cons: dining services wasn't the best place to work

I started out at two other schools in Indiana, my home state. One was too huge and wasn't the school for me because of this and other factors. The other school was a commuter college and much smaller; small enough they didn't offer many classes when I ...
