Sincerest apologies to those of my friends who attended St. Olaf College and really loved it. Or at least tolerated it. But I gotta say this.

Out of sheer curiosity, I went to the hope page to peruse. And on it, I found this:

"An average of six St. Olaf students win Fullbright Scholarships each year. Since 1995 we have produced three Rhodes Scholars, and 23 Barry M. Goldwater scholarships."

Okay, sounds impressive.


Wait, rewind.

Barry Goldwater? Barry M. Goldwater? This is something to be proud of?



To be honest, I now couldn't be happier I left the place. I knew it. I just knew it.



Heh. Sometimes I'm such a liberal snob.

I visited St. Olaf when I was a senior in high school and was shopping for colleges. I stayed overnight on the dorm room floor of an existing student. Other than not liking the choir and HATING their "theatre" presentation of As You Like It (or some other Shakespeare light-hearted thing), I said to myself "I could be happy here... if I'm allowed to wake up SCREAMING at least once a month."

Yeah... didn't seriously pursue anything there... :P
