<p>I live in Columbus, Ohio and of all the colleges that accepted me, I’ve narrowed it down to Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Stanford, and Berkeley. </p>
<p>I’m mainly interested in three main things::</p>
<li>the English program-I want to be a creative writer</li>
<li>gay life-I’m a white gay male and looking for the same</li>
<li>the surrounding area-I like bookstores and playhouses, starbucks is an absolute necessity</li>
</ol>
<p>Oh yeah, my mom graduated from Berkeley and my dad from Princeton so that could be a factor because I don’t want them to fight it out anymore…that’s all they’ve been doing lately.</p>
<p>I would go somewhere different from my parents anyway. I hear little things about pton being a little conservative with regards to 2 but pton's generally great and it's nothing to worry about.</p>
<p>New Haven could be a big plus or minus depending who you are so look into the place closer.</p>
<p>Sorry to hear about your parents. I've got parents like yours too who like to bicker and I know how frustrating that can be. Don't let it get you down though - you've done a really awesome job and they're both really proud of you.</p>
<p>Thanks to everyone who replied to my posts at the different school forums! :)</p>
<p>After a big family talk, my mom couldn't come to terms with me turning down Berkeley and neither could my dad with Princeton. The solution:: eliminate both. Then my mom vilified the Stanford experience since it's Berkeley's nemesis. So between Harvard and Yale, I'm picking Harvard cuz it's Harvard!</p>
<p>Thanks again, hope to see everyone there! ;)</p>
<p>Hm, if you know an insanely cute, 5'11, skinny, blond boy whose wardrobe only consistes of A&F clothing then there's a slight possibility that you know me and a bigger possibility that you'll be able to pick me out of the Harvard freshman class this coming fall :)</p>
<p>No, I did not go because receptions are boring...I'd much rather stay home and watch what my member name says I'm a myrmidon of ;)</p>
