9. Why I want to attend this
college
I really want to go to LSU because I feel like
it’s a better choice when deciding what
college to go to. I also want to go to an in
state school so I can be closer to my family. I
easily get home sick. LSU also offers a lot of
activities that I like. The sports teams there
are also very good. The education system there
is also good, plus in-state tuition is cheap.
