<p>ha ha, teriwtt. I thought it very judgmental too, that's why I put it in there(phrase "artsy-fartsy"). But what do you mean "I don't think you understand the experience Emerson..."? Do you mean I was judgmental? I was quoting what the Op told us his FATHER said about Emerson. It wasn't my wording- it was the father of the OP. You did see that right? You read the very first post by the OP?</p>
<p>As for "Why differentiate it from a 'regular' one?"(your post 40), Perhaps the Op can answer how his dad defines it. The father sees Emerson as "artsy-fartsy", but I have to guess he approves of other colleges. It was his Dad that said it.</p>
