Why did you choose where you went to school? Share #CollegeSigningDay stories

The “Reach Higher” initiative was founded by First Lady Michelle Obama as a way to inspire students to realize their potential and continue their education past high school. It’s increasingly difficult in today’s economy to compete with a high school diploma alone, which makes the importance of completing a professional training program, community college or four-year university more critical than ever.

The “North Star” goal was set to attempt to have America have the highest proportion of college graduates in the world by 2020. Today members of Vox Media would like to share with you our stories of how we picked our colleges by asking “Why did you choose the college you went to?”

Alex Kirshner:

I went to college at Maryland, and I picked it because it had my desired program (journalism), was near a city I loved (Washington), was big enough to give me a lot of choices, and was close to some family. Those things were all good, but it turned out the best thing about it was the people I met there.

Jessica Smetana:

My mom and my dad graduated from Notre Dame in the Class of 1982 with accounting degrees. They raised me in Chicago and Saturdays in the fall were synonymous with road trips to South Bend. During those weekends I feel in love with the campus, the traditions, and unfortunately the football team itself. I cheered for the Irish through the Bob Davie era, the Ty Willingham era, the Charlie Weis era, and even the ever so short George O’Leary era. I was lucky, or sometimes...unlucky enough to attend Notre Dame during the Brian Kelly era. But graduating inside Notre Dame Stadium while my parents watched from the bleachers was a dream come true.

James Dator:

I accidentally picked the wrong college after thinking I was attending North Carolina, but really I was attending the University of North Carolina - Greensboro. Sure we sucked at sports, but I got an amazing education and met friends I’ll have with me for the rest of my life.

Christine Conetta:

I was one of the first people in my family to go to college, so deciding where I wanted to go was a big deal. I ultimately decided on Towson University because it had a strong journalism and tv production program. Four years later, all of my family was there cheering me on when I walked across the stage at my college graduation. I could feel their pride from the crowd, and it was a moment I knew I would never forget.

Kurt Mensching:

I chose Michigan State because it was truly the school that fit me best. A little bit country -- it is Moo U, the original land grant agricultural college -- but also enough of a city feel to it with great opportunities to do cultural things while getting a great education. I loved the campus at first sight, the way the Red Cedar flows through it and turns the entire campus into just a beautiful park. There are gardens everywhere. It's the kind of place you just want to spend all day at. I really enjoyed my time there and think it prepared me well for the future.

Morgan Moriarty

I graduated from the University of Florida just two years ago. The reason I went to UF is that it was my absolute dream school growing up, so it was the No. 1 school on my list I applied to. My mom went there, so I was pretty much born and raised worshipping Florida football -- my first game was when I was still a baby! My four years there were the best of my entire life, and I'm so grateful for my time there.

I also have this hilarious picture I drew in 3rd grade of my graduating from UF.

Dayana Sarkisova:

As an immigrant, I knew from a very young age that in order to attend the school of my choice in the United States I'd have to get good at — something. I started fencing at the age of six, and was fortunate enough to be offered a full athletic scholarship to Northwestern University after my junior year of high school. I didn't know anything about the university except that it was in my favorite city — Chicago — but the opportunity was enough for me. What followed afterward was easily four of the best years of my life.

Louis Bien:

Why I went to Wisconsin:

My sisters are six years older than me, and I watched them go to Wisconsin first. I had a great time whenever I visited them -- Madison is beautiful, and the sense of community there was unlike anything I had ever felt. It was the perfect combination of serious academics with a laid back, fun atmosphere. And it helped that I liked sports, too. I can't imagine going anywhere else.

Grant Brisbee:

I turned 16 my senior year because I'm a damned genius, and I was going to go to a community college because I was damned lazy. This was fine with my parents, who (rightfully) suspected that I was too young to be on my own in college.

Then the spring came, and all my friends started getting acceptance letters. "I'm going to UCLA!" "I'm going to UC Davis!" I felt incredibly left out, so I panicked and looked for schools that had open application periods.

And, ho, what's this? Southern Oregon State College has an open application period? And they're in Ashland, a city I had been to and enjoyed? With a robust theater program, which was going to be my major? And they're so thirsty for my sweet, sweet out-of-state money, they'll overlook the 2.6 GPA? It was meant to be.

tl;dr: I applied to one college in May of my senior year after being a bad student for years, and somehow it worked. I'm reminded of this fact when the $300 auto-withdraws from my account every month.

Julia Rubin:

I went to Penn, which was my first-choice school for a whole bunch of reasons. I was set on going somewhere that didn't have a journalism program, but did have a great student paper. I wanted to be in a city, but on a contained campus. Being able to get back home to St. Louis via a direct flight was important to me. I liked that it had a pretty big student population relative to its peers, and that it was known for being social. Also, the old buildings: so pretty. But mostly, when I went on a tour there the summer before senior year, it just felt like a place I'd like to call home.

Ryan Van Bibber:

College wasn't really a choice for me. My dad worked in construction, and I joined him for a couple of summers. He knew I would probably starve if I followed him into the building business. That was his joke anyway. The construction business, as we experienced it, had a lot of ups and downs, occasional layoffs and plenty of underemployment thanks to economic forces well outside our control. My parents were adamant that I went to school so I could have a better life and not have to constantly be worried about paying the bills that month, much less paying for my own children to go school or retirement.

The only caveat was that I wanted to go far away, get the hell out of the Midwest. So picked the University of Wyoming, roughly 900 miles from home, relatively affordable and generous with the scholarship offers. More importantly, it was out West, and that's where I wanted I be.

In four (well, four and a half) years there, I made lifelong friendships and earned a history degree, which isn't nearly as worthless as people tried to tell me it would be. It honed my critical thinking skills, made me a better writer and editor and it let me tell and share stories, which is what I love doing more than anything else. Oh, I also had plenty of time for fly fishing, skiing and long stretches of vagrancy throughout the Mountain West.

And ultimately, though it took some time, it did lead to a better life.

Seth Rosenthal:

Friendly student body, small classes with interesting professors who do interesting research, gorgeous campus, no frats.

Sarah Hardy:

The boring reason I decided to go to Ohio State — THE Ohio State University, just to annoy the rest of you — was because my parents went there. And when you grow up with Ohio State fanatics, you’re going to become indoctrinated too (I say this with love and an unapologetic amount of pride).

But to be honest, the real reason I chose Ohio State is that I had a premonition and knew that one day, The Spot would be good.
