Interesting. I don't mind at all about the colleges, except for practical matters like funding, costs, etc. And I don't have the patience for the tedium of researching all of this, when in all likelihood if I am offered a place I probably won't get my first choice anyway.
Edit: I phrased this badly...ignore post. My brain is frazzled. Just finished a research proposal which I worked on solidly for weeks...blehh
