I will let you in on a little secret of mine... one that I used to pick out the perfect college for me! (Just keep this between us... no publishing it online!:P)

"Confused out of my mind" was an understatement used to describe my state before deciding on the right university for me. All those college counselors and University guide books were just piling up as junk on my desk (not the college counselors...those had a special place in the "I hate you" lobe of my cerebrum"!) Well basically, I came up with a devious and sly plan to get to know more about the universities I had still un-crossed on my checklist.

You see, I made up a plot with ME as the main and ONLY character, the so called writer for the non-existing magazine, "STUDENTS SPEAK THEIR MINDS". With this disguise, I went along interviewing students in each and every university, getting the glitter as well as dishing the dirt LIVE from the student body's mouths!

This might not have been the only factor that finally helped me decide on the university, but some clarifications (and shocks!) truly did aid me in crossing out a few more colleges and narrowing it down to 3.

How I picked the final one among the three left? Well that's for me to know and for you to find out! (Or simply make up a better plan and share it here!)
