                                                       decisions of narrowing down the choices.
                                                              "The  important thing I look for when picking a college is
                                                       how many people already attend, the location,  what it offers,

                                                       and what it looks  like,"  senior Jenny Janis  said.
                                                              "For the most part, I'm looking forward to college. It's  a
                                                       new beginning, and I'll  meet new friends. But the rest  of me is
                                                       scared  and sad.  Losing my friends and family will be hard, and

                                                       I'll  miss  them more than anything,"  senior Tara Dinslage  said.

                                                       full  of excitement.  It  means  starting over with new friends,
