I've heard that Brown University was the "reject school" of the Ivy Leagues but this is just piling on. And yeah I've gotta say from what I've experienced going to a big school on the east coast (and growing up on the east coast) with many students from the west coast going here; they definitely seem to be more "geographically ignorant" in general out there. I live in North Carolina and have been asked on more than one occasion by people form out west if NC and SC are part of the same state! Not kidding.

In his defense, my friend who goes to Stanford didnt know.. And she's extremely intelligent. People just forget the obvious sometimes, I guess, since I know at least my friend learned it.
They should ask this question in the CAHSEE every time. If they still pass after being wrong, at least a few people will become curious and look it up.
Ironically, i remember it's not an islans BECAUSE the name is deceitful.

I would also like to know how you even got into college. I always thought it was pretty common knowledge that there are only 2 states that are not part of the mainland; and Rhode Island is NOT one of them. Living on the west coast is not an excuse for not knowing RI isn't actually an island.

#149: It's really unfair to say that all americans are idiots. I will agree that MANY americans are dumb, and many think stupid things about other countries (or rhode island...) But that's a stereotype that people all over the world think all americans are morbidly obese. This has some basis in fact, but it's not completely true. you are complaining about canadian stereotypes when you play into american stereotypes. think about that....
oh, and the OP is a dumbass. They will never get into RISD or Brown or whatever school is there.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but if your friend is in VA (eastern time) and you are in CA (Western time) that leaves central and mountain time between you. You are actually 3 hours BEHIND someone on the east coast. Check out www.time.gov for proof. Also, remember that the ball drops in NYC before midnight happens in CA.

Wow, I just realized all of these comments are in responce to number one.
Also, I smell a history lesson coming on.
The full name of rhode island is rhode island and providence plantations. Aquidneck island was origonaly rhode island, but the name was changed to avoid confusion. Providence plantations was all the non-island part of rhode island. So,if the op's collage is on Aquidneck island(which it probably isn't), then she was right in a way, and the interviewer would probably have taken a car out on one of the bridges. If the collage was on Aquidneck island. Which it probably isn't.
Also: the full name of rhode island is rhode island and providence plantations, making it have the longest name for a state. The motto is hope, making that the shortest motto for a state. So the smallest state has the largest name and the smallest motto.

I'm using an iPod and a am a lazy American ;) not that it hurts anyone if I dotnt spell something right. so fuck of if you have a problem, go be a grammar teacher and stop being a fuck

Actually Australia is a CONTINENT, and since the world is mostly water every single continent is surrounded by water. So, the real definition of an island is any land completely surrounded by land that is not big enough to be a continent...... And for all you retards calling it an island, look it up.... I think greenland or somewhere is the biggest island, and Australia is bigger than that.....
