Thanks for all of your responses. Here’s a followup question: when I’m researching what the school has to offer, I’d assume that when I’m writing my essay, I’d be using information taken from that college’s website or other sources. How would I cite in that instance (for one of the colleges I am applying to, I want to reference a book about that college) in order to avoid plagiarism, or is this not a big deal?
