bauston part iv Friday March 18
this is my fourth time in boston in less than a year. my first time ever was last summer to visit nathan, and then again in october, november, and now march. it's absolutely wonderful here. massachusetts, in general, seems to be more my style than illinois.
nathan and i started this discussion yesterday; he's been in contact with various state educational agencies around the country. apparently, the woman from north dakota discussed how it's difficult to keep good students (i.e., top of their classes) in-state for their undergraduate work.
now, for north dakota, is anyone surprised? what is surprising, at least to me, is that nate was able to share the same sentiment with her: apparently massachusetts has the same problem, despite being the home to harvard, MIT, bu, bc, and a whole host of other famous schools.
we kids are fickle: we always want to go where we are not.
so for me to say that i would like the east coast better may be true -- but is that only because it's a new experience from the same old illinois i've known for years? i'm sure that i'll find the west coast equally interesting for entirely different reasons.
