1. College Research Project

2. Purpose
I want to go to college to extend my education and to gain an advantage in the workplace. I feel that the transition will be tough but not impossible. I will want to major in Business, specifically Accounting. I think the college search process will be interesting because I will get to see the different colleges that our country has to offer. I hope to gain an invaluable education that I will use throughout the rest of my life.

8. Conclusion
After researching many possible universities, I have decided to attend John Carroll University. I chose to go to John Carroll for many reasons. The most important reason is that it is a small school. I prefer a small university to a large university because the professors know you. In a large college, you are just another student. I also chose John Carroll because they have a tremendous business program.
