I know that there are plenty of good locals--for instance, I've heard good things about the ones at the University of the South and Mississippi University for Women--and I try to keep those in mind. It's just that my personal experience has been with the totally out-of-line ones like those at the University of Hawaii and the infamous 3 at the school where I teach (those of you who missed hearing about these jewels should read the thread about "What Do You Think About this Weird Rush?")
It would be great if they could all be as stellar as some of those we hear about on these boards!
