University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign
Having discussed my plan with my current adviser and some folks, I decided to decline the University of Illinois’ offer to continue my academic endeavor there. Illinois is really a good school. I feel bad of declining their offer. In the area of tourism and recreation, Illinois is one of the best schools. Some people said I am stupid by declining their offer. Well perhaps I am. I do not feel I will fit with Illinois research scheme. I am not going to spend 3 more years working on something that is not my cup of tea. Today I sent my letter of decline to UIUC. Did I feel relieve? Sort of… somehow I’m still worried that it’s not the correct decision… but I will think about it later on. In the meantime, I still have to answer 3 other offers… To choose something is easy, the hardest one is can I live with that decision.
have a magical day
