Yesterday, I began campaigning for Ph.D Admission '08. Much like the many presidential candidates who've thrown their hat into the '08 Presidential Race, I myself have officially declared my intention to become a Ph.D. student in the 20th century British Novel.
My first stop was Storrs, CT to spend the day at UConn. I had the chance to meet a 2nd cousin, who's a professor there, as well as meet my future teachers and students. The campus reminds me a little of Middlebury (in the country) and a LOT of Cornell (mucho money spent on the physical plant). While my visit lasted about 4 hours, I was more than satisfied with what I saw. In fact, I received an outstanding first impression.
I could definitely find my niche in that place and also feel okay spending my weekends back in ol' NJ.
