Choosing Macon State

I had a few options for college but all seemed a bit costly. The only legitimate choice that I really had, financially, was Macon State. Also, I live 5 minutes down the road, so the gas put into the trip to school doesn't rob my wallet as much as it would elsewhere. One thing I had really hoped for was a college experience with many friends, who have withered down to a handful after graduating. So far, I have managed to make new friends, though most are here for the same reason I am; get in, learn, get out, so as far as gathering outside of school, the chances are looking slim to none.
