If I see a billboard for McDonald's with a pizza on it, I expect to be able to go to McDonald's and order pizza and get one.
If I see a billboard for a college with a student on it, I expect to be able to go to that college and see that student walking around or have other proof that she is enrollled.
I mean, what happens if they get applicants who say "what happened to that Nicole girl that was on the billboard?" "Oh, umm, she ended up going to Haverford." "You made a BILLBOARD for her and pursued her to those lengths and she didn't come here? God, this place must suck."
Clarion pursued me to a degree, but if they'd done something like this, I would have run in the other direction.
