13.  My college choice is OBU because it has the major that I am looking for and the tuition is not as expensive as it is in Bellarmine. I also choose this college because it is closer to my family. I like that there are small classes and that the teachers look out for you. I think that I will be challenged in a lot of ways however I will be prepared for it when it comes.
