Stanford University, here I come
So, everyone knows how I am verrrrrry picky when it comes to colleges. And if you didn't know that, you're dumb. But you know it now. Anywho, I figured I was gonna have to go overseas to go to college, because none of the ones in the US pleased me. Here's my criteria:
-Far, far, FAR away from New England (and the south, for that matter)
-Ski team
-Riding team
-Good education
-English/communications/film studies majors
-Coed
-No religious affiliations
That's not TOO much to ask, is it? Needless to say, I hadn't found my dream college. Until last night.
Drumroll please...
Stanford University
Located in pristine Stanford, CA (FAR away from Hicksville, NH), Stanford boasts:
-A ski team that practices at LAKE TAHOE, offering FREE LODGING at their very own PRIVATE CABIN for ski overnights WHENEVER you want.
-An equestrian team, including HJ and polo, with the college's own horses (you don't need to have your own horse to join) and eligibility for any level (woohoo)
-Only 13% of applicants make it in
-Of COURSE there's a good education...its STANFORD, for Christ's sake.
-Coed
-Absolutely NO religious affliations of ANY kind
Unfortunately, it also costs $40 grand a year. Phew. I've already decided to forego any xmas, birthday, valentine's day, easter, etc. presents for the rest of my teens (and into late twenties) so I can recieve large cash endowments instead. Make out your checks to the Dean of Applications.
Other colleges that I have added to my list, but am secretly scoffing at:
RIT
Colorado College
Cornell
Duke
Purdue
Syracuse U
U Calif Santa Barbara
U Calif San Diego
U Colorado Boulder
Pfft...none of those schools impress me. All I need to do now is make it in to Stanford. That's the easy part.
