<p>Put aside my general discontent with the amount of resources schools waste on countless and repetitive mailers (Its okay global warming isn't real). I actually am quite excited with the recent surge of letters and viewbooks. </p>
<p>Just today I got a letter from New York University, dated September 2007.....</p>
<p>It was the worst letter I have ever gotten from a college. It exuded everything but "this is a institution of higher learning". Something about it just did not flow and seemed middleschool-ish. I guess this is what happens when schools try too hard to connect with prospies. I understand some sarcasm or humor (U Chicago kicks some major butt with their postcard series), but this just sucked.</p>
<p>Did anyone else get this mailer? Am I just over reacting, or did other people do a double take too?</p>
