<p>I’m not sure if I’m posting in the right section… but hi!</p>
<p>I am doing a High School project on the differences between American colleges and those over here in Sweden. There are some questions I would like to have answered, and I would be extremely grateful if some of you took the time to answer. Remember that all questions are optional, and I would be glad if you take the time to answer even a single one. Everything will be confidential and only the only ones who’ll ever see your answers are me, my teachers and obivously others on this message board. If you do not wish to answer here, I’d be happy to read my PM box or my e-mail, <a href="mailto:conigio@hotmail.com">conigio@hotmail.com</a> for them! </p>
