She means you could spend four years with a bunch of yokels from Wisconsin instead of a bunch of yokels from Virginia.  Huuugggeee diversity advantage.  [/quote]

You think spending age 18-22 in the same state you grew up in, two hours from home, mostly the same clique of high school friends, in a college full of kids from the same state, broadens your mind as much as all new state, all new friends, all new region on the country and all the experiences and panic and growth forced on you? Umm...not so much.[/quote]
Yes. [/quote]
It depends and u r oversimplifying. I grew up in NC and went to Chapel Hill, along with TONs of other kids from my high school (I went to one of the tw or three most competitive high schools in the state as the Tom,  that sent like the 3rd largest group of kids to chapel hill.  I maintained exactly one friend from high school. I would sometimes see over kids around and we nicely greeted each other, but honestly everyone I knewixed with other kids from other places. Would it be possible? Yes. Is it common based on my experience (AMD facebook pics I see other the years certainty beat this out)? Not common at all.[/quote]
