Choosing where one goes to college can be one of the most important decisions in a young adults life. When I was faced with this decision, there were many routes that I could have taken. The easiest route for me, was to go to a school in Georgia, the state I grew up in. It was a tempting decision , since, many of my friends made the decision to attend Georgia Tech or UGA. Whenever I asked them why they chose to stay in state, they would always reply to me that the decision made them feel comfortable, as they already knew the cities and the atmosphere of the college. Going to a state school would’ve surely made me feel very comfortable, as Atlanta is known for there huge minority culture, whereas Boston was known for its lack of minority culture. However, whenever I thought about coming to Boston I felt that it was a necessary step in my life because it would put me in a place where I could thrive even in an uncomfortable environment. I felt that if I never got out of my bubble I would only know how to deal with situations in my comfort zone. Luckily, I made the right decision in coming to Boston, as I’ve been able to thrive and find a community here that’s made me develop as a person rather than stay stagnant and comfortable. This is my BU in Color Story.
