What answer do they want to hear?

Please help to solve my little dilemma...

In st. Lawrence supplement for common application they ask the following question: "Indicate how you first became interested in St. Lawrence"... What am I supposed to write?

I'm international student who had no idea about US colleges until this year. So the way I found out about this college was searching on collegeboard.com for colleges that meet some important to me criteria; one of the colleges I found was st. Lawrence...should I write something like that?

Thank you

lol. never heard of St. Lawrence.

Let them know you liked the academics provided, you went on some forums and talked to students and loved their attitude, never heard a bad thing about the school, etc. etc. I don't think its that important.

I wondered more about what "activities you'll be in when enrolled." What should one say... dungeons and dragons? poker night? internet porn? Can't they at least give you some options?
