this goes out to all of you college vaulters, or former vaulters, who want to pass on your acquired wisdom to the next generation.
Let's assume that you find a group of schools all with equally amazing academic and vaulting programs- how would you choose which school to go to?
ponder that...

Well I guess, then you need to narrow it down to what you might want to do for a major...and pick the best school in that field. Most schools have certain specialties, in addition to just being great academic schools. If you don't know what you want to do, then I suggest you compare the coaching philosophies of the program's at the various schools and select the one that would best fit YOU. If that's not really a big deal to you, or there is no big difference, then I have been of no help too your cause

There are a million reasons why to choose a college.
Ive narrowed my top three down to:
1. Finances
2. Major Choice
3. Location
The most important?

Simple:
1.Hot Girls
2.Classes you want (with Hot Girls)
3.Good Vaulting Coach (Hot Female Vaulters)
4.Parties (with Hot Girls)
Seriously though..... Find a school with the academics you want and the sport you want, then visit, you'll know if it's right.
The girls will tell you
(And for the girls..... Substitute Girls with Guys
)

Location is a big issue. Picture life in each of the cities and think about how it will be as far as weather, distance from home, things to do, etc.

College provides you the best opportunity to succeed in the vault. Take advantage now. Just wait until graduation with the urge to vault, you'll know what I'm talking about.

i was afraid that was going to come up. why can't someone just come up with a math equation that you could fill in the variables and POOF out pops a school that's right for you? o well, the search continues
this does help though - keep em comin
!
PS toki- i live in tally, i'd like to see what the rest of the world has to offer before i make a decision lol. being roomies would be flippin sweet
