text: Dear Young Brit, academically William and Mary is a famous well known school.  Pomona College, PLEASE when you go for a job interview with a fortune 500 company they will say "where"! Besides college is a utopia and an invaluable growing experience away from home.  I truly believe every kid should experience college for the fact that it is the first step to leaving the nest.  Trust me, your parents will be so proud of you.  Oh yes, and you will hear "it's so far away" that's the point kid.  Being away from Mom and Dad with tons of other college kids is the beginning of your fun adult life.  Any one who went to college will tell you it is the best time of your life.
