The College Visit

My sister and I are close, talking on the phone several times a week, the occasional chit-chat online, checking out boy news, school news and petit gossip — staying on top of each other’s lives in general. She has even visited me at Cornell a few times. However, I have only seen her school, Bard College, once and briefly so, when I helped her move in as a freshman. That visit was dominated by runs to Target, moving furniture, getting lost on campus, filling out forms and shuffling around awkward orientation meetings. Now, with a year come and gone, her college life had taken root, and it was time for me to visit and see what my little sister’s world had become. I wanted to see what her school was really about.

College life in New York state these days... apparently, they've gone back to the late 1960's. That's the impression I get when I read through the part about the "annual release of Bard’s artistic nude publication."

Hey! There were no nude parties at my alma mater. I feel cheated. I'm just too darned old, I guess. I missed all of that stuff. I had to deal with one naked coed at a time. Unfair!

Must be nice to attend Cornell's Arts College ($50,000/year, all in) and be so secure in one's future that work-free weekend road trips are a regular event.

Cornell isn't what it used to be.
