Yup--darn Aggies.  =^)  J/k.  Cornell's just weird that way.  Not, I
suppose, that it would've made a difference to me *personally* if Arts &
Sciences were SUNY, since I'd've been out-of-state no matter *what* state
I showed up in.

Colleges smack dab in a city?  <remembering her one tour of NYC>  I
guess.  It's a weird thought, but mainly because I've been in
Nowhere--er, Ithaca--for the past 4 years.  ^_^
