Home is where the heart is
Earlier today I was walking with my roommate and we started talking about how we find it amazing that so many students, travel from out of state, and even out of the country to attend Witt. According to Witt's website, students are from 39 states and 30 countries. I find that amazing. I am from the suburbs of Cleveland and I knew that a 3 hour drive was my maximum. Even though I typically only go home on breaks, I like the option that if I needed to I can go home and come back to Witt all in one day. I have several friends from states such as Colorado and Massachusetts and I admire them for only going home a few times a year, due to the high costs of travel. I am pretty close to my family and I am super excited to see them this Saturday when they come visit. Personally, I think it is important to maintain a close relationship with our parents but I totally understand that it is not always feasible. But, one of the reasons I love Witt is that the students are so diverse and I have learned a great deal from my friends who are from not only different parts of the country, but from different parts of the world.

I agree! I love the fact that I can have friends from all walks of life! India, California, Indiana, New York, Germany; so many people that Witt draws in from across the world and we are all in search of the same thing, a great education! However, I am also grateful that my home is only 2.5 hours away. I am very admirable of those people who attend here knowing they will be so far from home.
