rachel, if you pick nantucket you'll be semi-close to me! :) (well, you know, a couple hours by car instead of a 3 hour flight away :)). Obviously, that's a good reason to choose Nantucket! :)

I don't know though. Your other choices are really great too (even without me!). I know what you're going through trying to decide.

i think i want to go to italy. with that in mind, now i have to figure out if i can afford to/get a loan or a grant for it, if and when i can go according to the credits i need to graduate, and so on. I'm afraid it may have to wait until a summer during grad school, but I'm not sure of my class credit situation right now (i only need certain classes and very few of them, so i don't know). Hmmph.
