A Split Decision

college is coming up and in all honesty i am at a loss.  I have no clear decision on what to do.  Actually, i dont even know what colleges are going to let me in.  I've been accepted into the University of Akron, but in all honesty, my heart is not in Ohio.  I'm currently just waiting for my two big names to get back to me.  University of Alabama and Ole Miss.  Two of these school have been in my head for a few years.  I've been a big fan for a long time and am kinda torn.  In Alabama my best friend goes there and that would help me adjusting to a new environment.  Mississippi puts me in a world of my own and I have to learn to survive on my own.  I believe that is truly beneficial in the long run.  The quality of the school is practically even so there really is no benefit on education from choosing one or the other.  That is why its the most difficult.  In all honesty, since my heart is equal on them, money is probably the deciding factor.  I dont want to leave college in a great amount of debt i'll be paying off for years upon years.  Generally, the college that offers me the best amount of money will probably get the win.  I am also going to have to factor on how much i like the campus.  I've been planning to take a southern border tour in the spring and visit Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, and NC State.  After a lot of thiking, though, I narrowed it between two on my own.  This is ultimately the largest and most difficult decision in my life.  I guess I can't get too ahead of myself though, Im not even accepted to either yet.
