Weird story:
About 20 years ago I decided to go back to college. I lived in Northern Indiana and I decided I wanted to pursue a degree in journalism. I applied and was accepted to attend Northwestern University because Chicago was only 2-1/2 hours away. But the finances were not going to work so I was not able to attend.
After reading this story, I think it was probably a blessing. I probably would have come out Northwestern as a liberal and maybe even possibly a community organizer with Barack Obama!
Oh, the horrors!

Well, Northwestern is truly an excellent school, albeit very expensive. I took some graduate school classes there because the company I worked for was affiliated with the school.
And I went to undergrad as a liberal and came out a conservative, so who knows how you might have ended up!
