<p>Okay so I was looking at best college dorms website. I clicked on the college and was reading about it. On about 3 of the 10 colleges I said request more information giving them like my basic info (address, phone number, ect). But only after did I did this did I realize the list was made up of nothing but....wait for it.....</p>

<p>you are almost there don't freak lol</p>

<p>trust me its funny once you get there</p>

<p>I wonder how many people will actually see these... hmm</p>

<p>WOMEN'S colleges</p>

<p>Yeah and you can tell right from my name that I am a male. I did wonder why they didn't ask for gender....</p>

<p>So my question is have you done anything this dumb before?</p>

<p>What’s even more dumb than that is the fact that you’re requesting information from colleges…</p>

3

<p>A male requesting info from an all women’s college…REALLY?!</p>

4

<p>^^I requested info from 300+ colleges for my HS sophomore brother. :smiley: He gets a ton of mail every day hee hee it’s hilarious.</p>

<p>I went to take my tray at school last year and forgot my tray at the table.</p>

<p>I’ve had this conversation with a guy who was, well, I’m not going to flatter myself and say he was flirting, but he was definitely trying to sound impressive to me.</p>

<p>Me: But out of all the colleges on my list, I really hope to get into Barnard the most.
Him: Oh yeah, they send me stuff all the time! Doesn’t it get annoying? Like stop already!
Me: Erm, I don’t think you should really be having a problem with that.
Him: Why, huh? Because I’m not good enough for them?
Me: No, it’s a woman’s college…
Him: Oh. Well. I still get tons of stuff from lots of colleges all the time!</p>

<p>^^^Why would you waste so much time doing that? XD</p>

<p>This only serves to waste more precious resources and increase administrative costs. Ultimately, these costs get passed on to us parents!:(</p>

<p>The day after I got accepted to my college, I was driving to school. I had driven maybe 2 miles when I realized I was driving towards the college, not my high school.</p>

<p>I still have a Colgate poster in my bedroom.</p>

11

<p>Seriously, I get 3 or 4 college letters a day without requesting anything. Why would you go out of your way to request stuff?</p>

12

<p>^^^^^Because the end results are worth it. And I still have more schools to do.</p>

<p>Although he still gets stuff I haven’t requested. Stupid genius brother with his high PSAT scores. -_-</p>

<p>

Schools send people so much stuff that I don’t think I had much of an impression. I only requested info from maybe 15 schools I was interested in, but the amount of schools that sent me mail was 10 times that. And I didn’t just get postcards either. Yesterday some school I’ve never heard of sent me a 70-page hardcover-bound book. Although it was pretty awesome…</p>
