"Hey blog readers, It&amp;#039;s November in Wisconsin... can you guess what that means? Yep, snow! Tons of it, and it&amp;#039;s not even Thanksgiving yet! I mean, I love snow, but when it comes this early, all it does is make me want it to be Winter break even MORE. I&amp;#039;m going to have a heck of a time walking to class tomorrow... Okay moving on...  I went to St. Olaf College this weekend to visit my friend Chelsea, and all I can say is wow... never underestimate a private school. It was honestly just as much fun, if not MORE fun than my public school. I mean, although St. Olaf is a tiny school, there was always something going on, and I didn&amp;#039;t get bored once the entire weekend. (Which could be partly due to the fact that when Chelsea and I are together we&amp;#039;re never bored anyway.) But really, it was a blast. Basically, my weekend was a mixture of huge parties (I&amp;#039;m talking over 400 people!), late night pizza, boys, dancing, movies, more parties, more late night pizza, more boys... and the list goes on and on. Anywho, I thought it&amp;#039;d be a cool idea to talk about what I noticed to be the pros and cons of private school college life. [Besides what you read in the pamphlets and on university websites] I thought it might be helpful to the readers out there who are having a hard time deciding if a private school is the right fit for them. Where to begin... I think I&amp;#039;ll make a chart! Pros of a Private School  -Smaller campus; easier to walk to classes/cafeteria -Fewer people; more recognizable faces -Fewer parties, which makes every party HUGE because the entire student body is there -WAY. BIGGER. DORM ROOMS. So much more room! -Much shorter cafeteria lines; better quality of food  Cons of a Private School: -Smaller campus; not a lot of places to go -Fewer people; fewer new faces -Fewer parties; not a lot of options -Way bigger dorm rooms; more expensive room and board -Better quality of food, but less variety I know it&amp;#039;s not tons of information, but hey, I was only there for one super short weekend, I mean come on what do you expect? And really, even though the reasons might seem small and silly, they actually do make a big difference. Hopefully that helped, talk to you next week!
