<p>okay, so i was all set to go to Evergreen this fall but then my family moved from Vancouver Wa to Coeur d Alene ID.. so i withdrew from Evergreen and decided to go to a school that was closer, Eastern WA Univ... well i applied there and got in and was all set to attend this January... but... when i went to visit.. i was quite discouraged, i didn’t see any of MY people.. i know this sounds really superficial and judgmental but i didn’t like what i saw -- i saw a bunch of muscle-bound fraternity brothers that looked like the football players that i went to HS with (and that made my life miserable), and the women looked like the cast of Gossip Girl or 90210 or something like that... its not that they were there, the problem is that these are the only people i saw for a 2 hour tour then walking around for an additional hour and a half and they are probably very nice but, when i say my people i mean people with piercings or visible tattoos or unusual hair, the people that the majority of EWU would probably classify as freaks... currently my head is shaved and the stubble is orange, so according to them i’d probably be a freak too.. which is fine</p>

<p>In conclusion, I am re-applying to TESC for March quarter...I’ll be coming over to visit soon but til then--</p>

<p>can someone give me the 411 on the crowd there -- punks, goths, androgynous folk, hippies, LGBT, other alternative nonmainstream people i'm leaving out???</p>

<p>"the women looked like the cast of Gossip Girl or 90210 or something like that… "</p>

<p>And this is a problem? Hmm…</p>

<p>for me it is</p>

4

<p>All of the above…and a large portion of the student body is older. (You’ll fit in just fine, in fact, in my town, hardly anyone would notice.)</p>

<p>well thats very good to hear and gives me great hope of fitting in… a place where peoples’ reaction to a shaved head is “yeah, big f%^&ing deal.” :slight_smile: thanks</p>

6

<p>You wouldn’t even get that much of a reaction.</p>

7

<p>even better!</p>
