Why Framingham State?

I choose Framingham State because my Sista Giel Moriah goes to Framingham State and I visit her a lotI know my way around the school pretty well She is an RA so I get to experience some things that a tour or just visiting someone wouldn’t allow

How I rank their website

Its pretty bad

The information is not detailed or appealing

Instead of telling you the required GPA ext. it just says you need to submit one

The website really just makes me mad

My sister not only helped start the Women’s Lacrosse team at FSC her sophomore year but finished this year as a captain

Drama…

FSC put on Beauty and the Beast a few weeks agoI went and was mildly amused It was nothing compared to MHS productions

Why I’m not going to Framingham State

They do not have any majors I’m interested in

The parking lots are really far away from the dorms and even though there are shuttles its really awkward and creepy to ride in one

Just not feeling it

In conclusion…
