Last year at this time I was under a lot of pressure from my mom on getting applications into colleges. When I received the letter about the Honors Program at Longwood, I was really excited! Now as everyone who is in the Honors Program probably feared, I thought I was going to be surrounded by a bunch of uptight geeks who didn't know how to have fun. Boy was I wrong! Despite the fact that we are in the small town of Farmville with not many entertainment opportunities, we make our own fun. Wal-Mart is a MUST on the weekends, it is just not a weekend without a trip to Wally World. Surprisingly, the campus is pretty quiet on the weekends. I am one of the very few "out of staters," so the option of going home every weekend is impossible. So ARC is my weekend hot spot, but I wouldn't have it any other way. There has not been a single weekend where there has not been something to do. For those of you reading this that are considering Longwood as your place of higher education, I recommend it...Hands Down! Considering the Honors Program is also a factor because as mentioned below, the perks are numerous :)
