| yeah, if only.
but i was thinking about it and the one reason why i am even considering uo is because i get 7 grand a year to go there for all five years or something...so it's a lot cheaper.
and blacksburg, va would be VERY boring...
i'm not sure about RPI though, that might be sort of fun, in new york. | |

| bleh...i hated rpi when i visited.
it's a few hours from nyc. it's by albany - which is an OKAY little city - it only has people because its the capital of ny.
rpi has nothing by it. there's absolutely nothing to do there. kids look depressed. campus is dark. there doesn't seem to be life - but hey, the kids are smart!
not for me, that's all haha | |

| oh yeah i felt that way about pratt. i mean it was juat like if i move to the east coast i would rather be in manhattan than broklyn. i dunno. there are so many places that i feel like i should have applied to but i decided against applying to tech schools becasue there are so many classes that i want to take that they don't offer, but i proabaly should have applied to more like for back ups. haven;t heard from syracuse and assuming i didn;t get in (i know i shouldn't jump to conclusions but still) and since i didn't get into cornell early i don't have much hope for rice. but i'm still holding on to u of o... | |

| pratt i haven't visited, i wanted to go, but i am scared of new york sort of. i went once and liked it, but felt soooo so out of place. so i never applied. same with cornell, syracuse, cmu, risd, rice, rpi, etc... plus i don't have the grades or scores for them...
i belong on the west coast. haha. U of O!! :] | |

| haha location wise - i got the cities covered: toronto, montreal, new orleans, new york, pittsburgh, chicago, los angeles, boston, etc.
pratt isn't as depressing as rpi, but its pretty dreary in its own way.
bklyn is a different place. some people love it. some people just don't. | |

| i would LOVE montreal. i have always wanted to go there. not necessarily for college, but maybe just to visit. i love it that everyone speaks french there!
angie, there isn't much surf, but i think you would love san francisco! it's my favorite city in the world, besides like paris, wash. d.c, and seattle. | |

| montreal's very cute...i mean all of quebec may actualyl be....more european than europe, if thats possible haha. i think more places should be bilingual!!!
eh, im going to toronto - theres no surf there...at all, but im gonna figure things out i guess.
lori - sorry about cornell...usc would be nice, and even though im incredibly fond of cmu (did a summer program there)...utoronto seems like where im headed. | |

| lori, i got rejected from cornell early too.  i'm sorry... i'm still kind of sad about it in way. but i guess it's hard for me to let go of it altogether because i did the summer program there last summer... *sigh* okay, i'm done now. | |
