Semantics.
But more importantly, for those of you pestering the OP about his or her preferences, do you jump into threads by athletes and recommend they go to Evergreen or Hampshire to “get out of their comfort zones” and “challenge themselves”? When kids ask about great Greek systems do you tell them to go to schools without frats and sororities? When kids ask about engineering programs do you say, “no, no–take poetry and philosophy”? When kids ask for beautiful campuses to you feel the urge to leap into the fray and tell them they’re making a grave mistake by not pursuing only commuter schools in urban wastelands?
Because the sniping in this thread strikes me as political axe-grinding more than anything.
