I am really having difficulty remembering Harvard - it's only been two days! It just wasn't terribly distinctive, so unfortunately, the only thing that really stands out was the awkwardness of the information session. Though I do remember having the impression that it was prettier than I'd thought it would be.
As for MIT, well, it wasn't ugly as I'd feared, though it was quite ugly. In this case, the info session went a long way to, if not winning me over, then at least making me consider MIT as an option - mainly because the admissions officer and most of the tour guides were a lot more normal than I'd thought they'd be.
I've been hearing that everyone that visits Brown loves it, and let me tell you, it proved true for me. Providence was pretty and not too small, Brown itself was equally pretty - it was pretty much what comes to mind when you picture college.
Yale is really pretty and in a semi-European style, though its surrounding area was the most industrial of the four, if that makes sense (also, of the four, I think you'd be most likely to use the blue light system at Yale).
On our final night, my dad and I went to see Super 8. I enjoyed it - the kids were great actors, it was a good mix of terrifying and funny, the plot was good, if nothing to write home about. It was really recognizable as a J. J. Abrams film - the beginning reminded me so strongly of Fringe, it was ridiculous. Surprisingly, I think having followed Fringe made the ending actually a little anti-clmatic; there are just so many horrifying things in Fringe that Super 8's monster couldn't even really compete. But distanced from that, it was really good, and it still manage to make me silently mouth, "Oh shit oh shit oh fucking shit shit shit."
BREAKING NEWS AND MAYBE SPOILERS AHEAD HOLY SHIT I JUST WATCHED THE FINALE FOR FRINGE, I KNOW, I'M LATE, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOW COULD THEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY???????? THEY GOT RID OF PETERRRRRRRRRRRR! HE DIDN'T EVEN DIE THEY JUST FORGOT I DON'T UNDERSTAND BRING HIM BACK.
