My mom bought some college books yesterday. The Fiske guides. I'm actually getting sort of excited. These books, which I used to think were not worth the money, are so helpful. They tell you the SAT score ranges for everyone at the college, a list of a couple other colleges that a certain college is comparable to, a description of the college, how many people attend, the percent of people who get accepted out of those who apply, etc.

I'm starting to wonder why I want to go locally. Everyone's leaving...there's not much of a reason to stay. Who knows where I'll even live.
