Different Schools

This past weekend I visited two different schools located in Los Angeles. While visiting these school it made me think about Stan State and how they compared. The tracks were totally different, at Cal State LA the track was trash compared to our track but Long Beach college had a nicer track. All I could think about is what if? What if I tried harder in my academics during high school and what if I pushed my self harder in track during high school and over the summer. I could have been running at a big school like the schools that attended the track meet held at Long Beach College. Schools like Louisiana State University, San Diego State University, or even that big college in Hawaii. How would it change my life if I went to a bigger school? Before I thought I could have a better experience at a bigger school however now I think Stan State was the best choice for right now. Because the bigger colleges tuition compared to Stanislaus is so much more money which I doubt I could afford without taking out some loans. While I was talking to my friend while we had a free day between the track meets talked about Stan and our experiences and how we felt about the school. I did not really want to go to this school and I doubt i'm going to stay here all four years, but If I do it would be because it's semi-cheap tuition. But I don't feel like it fits my social needs, however it helps with furthering my education.
