The class of 2009 has an extraordinary record of prestigious schools students chose and chose among; not only in the category of private colleges, but also especially in the category of private colleges.

Most students were in disbelief or shock when finding out they had been accepted to such great schools and it was great to see how humble people still are. They all have set high expectations and goals for themselves; and although they may not be totally sure what they want to do with their life they obviously have a passion for education and the opportunity that college in this country has to offer.

Not only passion, but also appreciation as well for the chance to be accepted into these schools and also gain the experience planned for them.

There were varying reasons as to why students chose the campus they did, but the obvious one that each student seems to say is it fit them best and that is how a campus should be chosen. There are so many people to be proud of and who should be proud of themselves, and this bittersweet time period could not feel any more surreal to all the seniors entering a new era of their lives and beginning their adult life. Congratulations Seniors!
