All I can say is, THANK YOU. STEVE!!!

LP is in the middle of nowhere.  It may be quaint, but a media center, it is
not.  Albany has a major airport, which allows peons like me to fly
Southwest (CHEAP!) from BWI instead of flying to Albany and driving another
2 hrs north to LP.

Also, it is central to all the ECAC schools.  The farthest drive is (still)
Princeton, but they shaved 2 hrs off the trip.

IMHO, good choice.
