day eight - end

As usual, disclaimer applies. :D

DAY EIGHT
*-Syracuse University
-Cornell University
 
It's short because I'm tired. Pictures of campuses with an asterisk are available upon request.
Syracuse University was quite nice -- the campus wasn't as beautiful as some of the others I've been to, but the courses and programs there seemed excellent. They have an amazing program for abroad coursework, too! <3
Cornell University was a bit of a disappointment. The campus was decent, borderline pretty even, but the surrounding area was a little too disorganized and rural for my tastes. But what really made me decide not to attend was the way in which Asians are treated. My mother pointed out that everyone considered them to be working class in the area surrounding the university, and as we ate lunch I noticed this. A businesswoman was speaking with the owner of the restaurant, and it might not have been apparent, but I found her tone incredibly disrespectful. It just bothered me, since it was the tone you adopt with someone possessing an inferior intelligence, and the playing field seemed pretty damn equal to me.
Well, anyhow, I'm glad that we're out of there and on our way home! Super! :D

What if you said you were Guarani?

Haha, I doubt most people would even be able to tell that I'm part Asian, because I just look much more European anyway. :P

If they find out, send them on a mystical journey through the Feywood (read: strap drunk goggles on them and send them through the wilderness in February while your friends pelt them with soccer balls)
