The Pros And Cons Of Salisbury University

Applying to colleges can be a stressful experience, as it is one of the most critical time periods of a student’s life. However, there is extensive information to research that can aid you in deciding which schools to apply to. Various factors like location, student to teacher ratio, cost, and acceptance rate are heavily taken into consideration when students make their decision. When I was browsing through different colleges to apply to, I evaluated many of these different factors. Two of the many schools that I may apply to in the future, after quite a bit of consideration and contrasting, are Salisbury University and Liberty University. The main appealing factor of Salisbury University is how close it is to my home. At the most, Salisbury is just over two hours away from everything I’ve attached myself to in Owings. This is a huge deciding factor for me personally, as I don’t want to stray too far from my family and community that remain in Maryland. Because Salisbury is in Maryland, it greatly decreases the tuition to less than $10,000 per year. This is also a great factor for any student who is keeping their future
Applying to and attending Liberty will hold a series of challenges for me; something I enjoy to have in my academic career. Salisbury and Liberty also both accept scores of a three or higher on AP exams, which is easily achievable for me. Although there are many different activities on both campuses, Liberty seems to be the more appealing choice with an ice rink on campus and many different sports programs to observe. Overall, I feel that Liberty University holds a more unique and fitting experience for me. Its campus life, religious affiliation, and possible challenges are enticing to me, which is why it's the higher ranking school on my list of colleges I plan on applying to next
