This goes out to all those people going to East Coast colleges. It's a hilarious article I stumbled upon today as I was revisiting my college choices ( Read more... )

Out east sounds really scary now!
I didn't understand the differences for like 4/5

Me neither, but it's probably not important to cool Midwestern kids like us.

By the way, the Williams people are nuts about sports for being a crappy division III school, and they do have an uber-rivalry with amherst...kinda scary.
I also, when examining Williams' geographic distribution, realized that I would be one of a few token midwesterners...not so cool.

Yeah, exactly why UVa sounds like such a scary school! It's like for preppy white kids from the South! I wanna know what your cousin is like, to see if there are some okay, non-SM people in Charlottesvile...

I'm def. not ready for east coast life. What the heck IS Wheaton? I also refuse to drown in waves of beer.

Ditto on your last point, unless absolutely coerced by my sorority sisters :-P!

While visiting Loyola I saw a poster for something... having to do with Asian people, perhaps a club? And it said "Imaginasian"!!! I thought of you -and nearly screamed. Those Chicago schools have such clever names for Asian clubs!

Re: CELEBRASIA! news_for_you April 20 2005, 04:53:23 UTC

Yes, Megan! You MUST laugh at Celebrasia if you're in Chicago b/c it's the biggest Asian celebration in the country or something... and it looks SOOO dorky! Just like the AZN frat at Northwestern!

Despite your attempts to convince yourself that you don't like the EC, you must go to wellesley and not NU- talk about copius beer drinking, Ms. Fake ID! On another note, re: UVA, I know this darling girl named Jenny who graduated from there 2 years ago and she's totally Ms. Midwestern and really nice and she loved it, loved the people. But Mare, can you really let down Shi Mi Yui, your future sister who hails from Shanghai?!

Yeah, I'm hoping the Wellesley F.A. office is SUPER nice to my dad so he'll be supportive of writing the deposit check!
