<p>Is anybody familiar with the Malcolm Gladwell book “Blink”? <a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blink_(book[/url])”>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blink_(book)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>He makes a case for sometimes immediate, non-methodical decisions being better than ones that are reasoned out with pros and cons…he says the immediate decisions can often filter out unnecessary info and cut right to the crux of the matter.</p>

<p>One characteristic of colleges that is seldom mentioned on collegeconfidential is how compact or spread out the campus is. Since most of the school year is in months known for snow, cold, and rain, having to walk a long way to go to class or to eat could definitely be more than a minor irritant…especially in schools where there is one central cafeteria. I’d imagine some of the instances of instant dislike are due to size, even if that isn’t part of the conscious reasoning.</p>
