Technology Clinic and passion - Why Lafayette? My attempt to be a little different.

thenewdude 13 / 59   Dec 26, 2013   #1 Hey guys! Below is my response to the prompt: Why Lafayette? (20-200 words). Please critique it as harshly as you feel appropriate. For a host of reasons! The energy. The authentic relationships. The nachos at Gilbert's. The Alternative School Break Club. The SIT Environmental Sciences semester abroad program. Midnight Breakfast, 1000 Nights and other endearing traditions. The vibrant Skillman Library, buzzing with constant intellectual activity. The intimate classroom setting and the authentic student-teacher relationships. L.E.A.P. and its myriad endeavors to empower the local community. The chance to participate in the Campus Rainworks Challenge with Dr. Brandes. The ability to DO things rather than just read about them in textbooks. The passion at Technology Clinic of using classroom knowledge to tackle real world problems. The liberty to continue playing basketball, while maintaining a healthy balance with my academic passions. The brilliant Interim program, with its freedom to completely soak oneself in one's subject of choice. The chance to get my hands dirty with the School for Field Studies' summer abroad programs. The space to combine my passion for the environment with my love for computer science and psychology. Gentle guidance of the Gateway program, preparing me for life after college while never restricting one's freedom to explore. But most of all, for the knowledge that at the end of four years I wouldn't just be a great environmentalist; I would be a better person.

OP thenewdude 13 / 59   Dec 26, 2013   #3 Thanks Ipreo. Anyone else? I have tried to diverge from the traditional essay writing scheme and would love some feedback.

OP thenewdude 13 / 59   Dec 26, 2013   #5 SilverKnight Thanks for the review. I was actually trying to go for something different here. I know everyone picks one or two things about the college that really appeal to them, I just thought that after a long day at work adcoms would appreciate this. Did I totally fail at pulling this off?

OP thenewdude 13 / 59   Dec 27, 2013   #8 helloimyellow Hey! I have been deliberating on that too, and if in two days I am not satisfied with the list, I'll go for that approach. By the way, I have edited the list a bit, see if you can figure out what's the catch :) Glad you asked! Alternative School Break Club. The familial energy and bonding. The delicious nachos at Gilbert's Café. SIT Study Abroad's insightful environmental studies programs. Midnight Breakfast, 1000 Nights and other endearing traditions. The vibrant Skillman Library, buzzing with constant intellectual activity. The intimate classroom setting and the authentic student-teacher relationships. L.E.A.P. and its myriad of endeavors to empower the local community. The chance to participate in the Campus Rainworks Challenge with Dr. Brandes. The ability to DO things rather than just read about them in textbooks. The passion at Technology Clinic of using classroom knowledge to tackle real world problems. The liberty to continue playing basketball, while maintaining a healthy balance with my academic passions. The brilliant Interim program, with its freedom to completely soak oneself in one's subject of choice. The wonderful chance to get my hands dirty with the School for Field Studies' summer abroad programs. The space to combine my passion for a better environment with my love for computer science and psychology. The gentle guidance of the Gateway program, preparing one for professional life while never restricting one's freedom to explore. But most of all, for the knowledge that at the end of four years I wouldn't just be a great environmentalist; I would be a better person.

OP thenewdude 13 / 59   Dec 27, 2013   #9 Also, could you please look over my St. Olaf essay?

OP thenewdude 13 / 59   Dec 27, 2013   #11 Ryxion, thank you for your comments. Since many feel this way, I think I'll try to do some major editing and make this more personal. Bdw, could you please also read my St. Olaf essay?
