mother & son at schoolHey, you slackers. Have you attended a college fair lately? No excuses. You can attend online college fairs just like this mother who’s getting a head start:

Julie Richardson, a Virginia mother of two elementary-school-age boys, attended as a preliminary way to research colleges, she said, since she “didn’t know the difference between a Harvard and a Michigan.” [emphasis added]

I’ll tell you some differences between Harvard and Michigan:

  • Tuition
  • Location
  • Prestige
  • Admission standards
  • Attitude

As Cobweb put it at WSJ’s The Juggle:

Typical Harvard guy. Thinks he’s smarter (more clever) than the rest.

Just kidding! Substitute Stanford for Harvard if you want to take a potshot at me. ;)
