Interested in looking at graduate schools in the D.C. area? (Hello, Jeff!) You might want to follow this blog for awhile, as she tours various institutions. (Scroll through several posts to get the whole flavor of the thing.) She should be blogging on American and Maryland later this week, we hope! Georgetown appears to have gotten a thumbs-down as unresponsive to student demands, and her libertarian leanings are tilting her towards George Mason.

I never travelled to Claremont before agreeing to attend there. Had I, I might not have gone because of the smog obscuring Mt. Baldy, but the Village probably would have won me over anyway.
