A: I visited on a COLD day in mid-April my junior year. Throughout the tour I was thinking how cold and miserable it was, but when I got in the car to go back to the airport that day, I realized what a great place I had visited.

A: I started off in a triple and have continued to live with one of my roommates for three years. The third night at college my new roommates decided to duct tape me to my bed, and while that seems strange, I really enjoy their humor and their general goofiness. I haven't regretted living with anyone.

A: How quirky people are. People are always thinking of interesting things to do and it's just great to be part of it.

A: Make a list about what you're interested in, and keep adding things you are fascinated by until you can't think of anything more. If your list seems long, look at Liberal Arts schools.
