<p><em>blows referee whistle and wipes flying mud off uniform</em>
Grateful though I am to both of you for offering your opinions and your expertise, I am delighted to announce that I have decided I will be attending Tulane University come fall. It was a considered and difficult decision, but in the end the atmosphere of Washington and Lee, although ideal for some, did not suit the way I envisioned my college future. I hold no hard feelings towards W&L; they’re a beautiful, prestigious quality institution, but they simply were not the one for me. In light of this, the debate that’s been going on here, while substantive, is no longer relevant to the original topic of this thread, so I’d kindly ask you both to move it over to a thread created in one of the two schools’ forums proper, since it’s becoming a little hurtful to have to read scathing criticisms of a school I’m committed to and am rapidly becoming more excited about attending. </p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
