<p>Wow! Thanks everybody for all of the advice. I am currently reading up on some of the suggestions and trying to make a decision about what schools to add to my list before this weekend ends.
Reed and Carleton were both dream schools of mine, but my parents say that they are too far away so the cost of transportation on top of tuition would make college too expensive. Real bummer, though, because those schools sound like exactly the sorts of places I’d be interested in.</p>
