As the end of the year begins to get closer, students beginning to prepare themselves for the next step in their lives. At the beginning of the semester, students had the piles of stress with the college applications and financial aid submissions but now it is the time where they hear back from those colleges and decide where they want to go next. We created a survey asking students what colleges they had been accepted to and if they were excited. This is what they said:
