I can't decide. Not that the options are bad or anything, but simply because I do not know how to decide?

If I want to go to the very best, then Texas-Austin, Stanford and A&M it is!
But I have a problem with the weather in Texas. Tornados? Hurricane? Some of the most destructive hurricanes in U.S. history have impacted Texas. Mummy I'm scared....

If I want to escape the harsh weather, then California here I come!
But USC is ranked at the bottom of the list. Not just this list, but all the other lists as well. And Stanford, the name it self is very intimidating.

Safe option: Pennsylvania State University!!
Unfortunately the gates are closed to me with the reason that they have too many Malaysians there already. The same thing might happen to Colorado School of Mines. Danny is there :)

No no, you are NOT getting me into Oaklahoma! An average 54 tornadoes strike the state per year—one of the highest rates in the world! So, no no NO.

However, Texas scores points because of churches and faith in the Lord. But then again, I know I can find that in other places as well. We can't have too much salt in one place right?

Waaaaaaaaaargh!!! I do not know which one to pick!!
