Why do some questions get posted here?

<p>So here's a funny: my d. was trying to schedule an overnight a year ago October at a little college in Mass. The admission dept. got it together, but the student society that was supposed to link applicants up with hosts never called back, despite 3 separate messages, and one e-mail left. Anyhow, when we arrived, the admissions dept. told my d. where to go, and since we knew the place, it wasn't a problem.</p>

<p>Well, about a month ago, my d. got a phone call from the student society to tell her that her visit was now arranged, and gave us the name and the phone number of the student to which she was assigned.</p>
