Shameless Plug for the University of Wisconsin

Are college tours for high school juniors a waste of time and money?  Not always.  For one of GC's friends, the endless delayed flights, frigid temperatures, redundant info sessions and 8:00am wake-up calls were well worth it.  This student, whose love letter to Wisco showed up on my Facebook page (because I am "friends" with one of the commenters), has, remarkably, already discovered his dream college.  And he wants to make sure at least one of his friends attends as well. 

Maybe he was brainwashed by a cute tour guide or a chill frat party….but even if so, I just might want to hire him as my publicist, after he gets his degree from UW, of course.

Here is his slightly-edited Facebook pitch, a fast-paced dialog between him and another one of GC's close friends, who was also on the circuit:

LIKE!  At least one young man has found his academic nirvana.  At least someone is engaged.  And at least for one family can reap the benefits of this college touring madness.
