<p>OSU is “a yuppie oasis college town” ? Stillwater? Yuppie? Cowboy is a little more literal there than what some people may expect.
I also have a hard time imagining Tulane as a place for being rich, preppy, and white considering the poor black population in New Orleans is probably about as bad as Baltimore’s – although I guess if you just stay on campus then you’ll be alright. I don’t know about the economic class but I don’t think Atlanta is that white either. The vibe I get from you suggests that maybe you should look towards the west coast instead of the east coast.
You’ve got enthusiasm though… keep it up because you will definitely need it to get through college.</p>
