Thanks, guys, this is awesome!!! :)

@jgorman: nice I’m from MD, but I live in the County of Ridicule, so I wasn’t sure if that was just the people here or what. Good luck with your choices too!

@Ari7: 3. This was more a question of curiosity than anything else. I wanted to buy the smallest meal plan, but it turns out freshmen aren’t allowed to do that, so I’m kind of stuck with the middle one…
7. Not exactly. I keep coming across these classes on “world literature” that focus entirely on Europe (e.g. the Greeks, the Romans, so on and so forth) because that’s kind of where the US came from and so we tend to think it’s more important. But I want a world literature class that’s actually WORLD literature- if Socrates is in there, the Ramayana should be too. (Just an example, I’m not really talking just about classes in world literature- and, if you continue in the vein of the example, a class just in eastern literature would be good too, provided that the texts are in English and it’s not meant mainly for majors.)

@fallenangel- the exact same thing can be said about College Confidential (or practically any other opinion-based site on the internet). I know that not everything on there is true, so I decided to check if people knew anything about something strange that they mentioned.

@Johnson: 3. Like I said, that question was mostly idle curiosity at this point. I wanted the smallest, but freshmen can’t have it, so I just wanted to know how much food I’d be getting.
4. I meant ‘how hard is it to find a place where nobody else is’…

@vbball: 2. I think I’m asking for one, not just worrying about it and dreading being put in one. Is it still unlikely that I’ll get one?
5. Hahahahahahahahaha
8. That sounds lovely thanks!!!

@flashmountain: This definitely isn’t my problem, and I know all that (except for maybe the Harvard parts, which make complete sense, I just never bothered to think about it). My issue (much smaller, hahaha) is when you say to somebody, “Washington University in Saint Louis,” and they go “oh, where’s that?” It’s in Saint Louis! I just told you that! It’s right there in the name! I mean, really??

Thanks again, everybody :D
