  urlLink There is hope! My dad just got back from Washington and the Seattle area, and he said that the university there is fantastic. It's gorgeous, huge - undergrad population of 28,362 -, and very friendly. All the kids there apparently look just like me. (And the boys are cute, which helps. ) I think I may have found my new school. Brown is wonderful, of course, but it's far away from anyone I know and it's very elite. I'm not sure I want to go somewhere that small and that private-feeling. I've always gone to small schools, and I'm ready for a change. I think I would fit in really well in a big university because I want to study such a broad range of things. I think it would be perfect to double major in something like Chemistry and History. UW would be a great place to go. Plus, I already have the sweatshirt. I'm practically enrolled, as far as I'm concerned.
