I'd defer to WCsweet3> on this one, but I don't think there is as huge of a gap now between types of students at OSU and UO than there used to be (farmers v. liberal artists), and the same could be said for Linfield, Willamette, maybe Pacific, then there's Lewis and Clark being kind of dirty hippies, and then there's Reed reeking of patchouli.

Amen!
What happens over here in Troyland is so super different from what's happening in Westwood Village, and that's just across town. I can't imagine trying to generalize the entire Western region.
OP, I never thought you were a troll.* Just remember that you're dealing with a lot of people who want to help, but they aren't mind-readers. And yeah, there are a ton of trolls with a lot of crazy stories.
*=ok, I've been going to online message boards for as long as I can remember, and I feel like the meaning of the term "troll" has changed significantly over time. It gets handed out pretty freely on a lot of websites. Some of my skating friends pretty much use it to describe anyone with an emphatic love for one skater!
I also feel obligated to say that I enjoy fun trolls.
