But yes, Tim, I think you're right-- which is why I'll be spending a lot of time visiting each campus once I have my list of acceptances.
:/ so stressful!

Ugh, Dani I'm going to be able to empathise soon! In a couple of months time I have to start my university applications, and due to the fact that everyone who's been through it already says it's horrific. We have this system called UCAS over here, and basically it's a pretty in-depth personal statement of what extra-cirricular activities you've done, a bit about yourself - probably similar to your application system in the US, actually. For someone like me who has done very few extra-cirricular activites in my five years prior to sixth form college, I'm having to sign up for as much as possible now, which isn't a good idea as I took four A-Levels. In short, that equals a ****load of work.
So, good luck with your applications! You're a highly intelligent, interesting person, I'm sure you'll be just fine.
