Boston, Lincolnshire, Is Wicked Good
(I work as a college counsellor.)
Me: “So, have you decided on any other schools that you want to apply to?”
Student: “Well, I was thinking about the University of Massachusetts, Boston, but it’s so far away.”
Me: “But you’ve already decided to apply to other schools on the east coast. Why is this one too far away?”
Student: “Well, it’s in England.”
(I sat there gobsmacked for a bit. The kid thought that New England was part of Great Britain. I laughed for quite a bit, and even reminded the student that after taking AP US History he should definitely have known better. And yes, he did apply to UMass Boston.)
