I was not interested in my dad's college, Purdue, because it lacked a humanities focus.
I asked to visit Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana, because I had heard good things about the midsize college.
AdvertisementI was irritated and surprised but still wanted to visit Ball State.
Ball State lacked the national ratings of the other schools but was renowned for several programs, including one that interested me.
I fell in love with Ball StateI attended a summer high school journalism workshop at Ball State, which clinched the deal for me.
