What Brings Me to SNHU?

Hello EDU235 classmates and other readers!

For those of you who do not know me yet, my name is Alex. I am a commuter from Pelham, New Hampshire. It's a small little town about 25 minutes from here. I hope to start living here on campus by my sophomore year next year, after I can get my family's financial situation taken care of.

So the question on everyone's minds right now must be what this post is appropriately titled, "What Brings Me to SNHU?" Southern New Hampshire University seemed like one of the best options for me to attend this year. I knew I would have to go somewhere that I could commute to, so that limited a lot of my choices. I looked at Lesley University in Cambridge because of their respected education program, but as I mentioned, the distance was just too far. I also checked out St. Anselm's College right here in Manchester as well as Merrimack College in North Andover. I didn't like the Catholic environment there. SNHU was also generous enough to offer me two scholarships worth a total of $16,000 per year. As I touched on earlier, money is a big issue for me currently so I could use all the help I can get. Although I will say I did not just choose to come here because of the money. I think the Manchester/Hooksett area is beautiful as well as SNHU's rapidly expanding campus. I will be proud to call SNHU my home for the next four years!
