<p>Wants2Thrive, your stream-of-consciousness-like questions aren’t going to solve your problem. Hate to break it to ya, but most of your questions should have already been answered during your college search prior to your application. Even so, if you need more info, there’s this thing that Google does - shows pictures, information sites that you can refer to that answer all your queries. Most of the answers have already been discussed on CC as well. Asking blindly like that is like shooting blanks, and it demeans all the nice people who have replied extensively to your prior concerns.</p>
<p>However, since I am feeling particularly generous (and have a lot of time on my hands), I will try and address some of the concerns you raised (yet again). From what I’ve gathered, trips to Boston or NYC (the other close ‘big city’) are not that often unless you have a long break, say, a week’s worth. This is in part due to cost and traveling time. Still, Amherst and Northampton provides enough entertainment for most students - you get free shuttle, it’s close by and it has everything, minus the grand pollution of ‘big citites’. </p>
<p>ConCerndad got the dates right. My deposit was only extended til the 10th. I’m curious - what reason did you give to warrant such an extension - I would think it defeats the whole purpose of 'depositing money if you’re going to hold that one spot from some other waitlistees who’d really want to attend MHC upon their thorough research.</p>
<p>Your last three questions are just downright silly. Are your sebaceous glands very active in the summer?</p>
<p>Oh, sitting outside UMASS to talk to boys is a good idea, but I’m sure there are other public areas with similar opportunities as well. I hear the Gents’ is quite popular.</p>
