Review of East Coast Culture Shock

Diversity is a wonderful thing. I come from a small suburban town where there isn't too much of that. Its too bad that it took Nora until she went to college to realize that its not everywhere. This piece gets right to the point and supplies multiple examples of her frustration and shock. But I'm curious to know how much research Nora did on the school before attending, there are websites that allow you to narrow down school choices by selecting the type of diversity. I'm also curious to know weather or not Nora regrets attending Berkeley, she doesn't mention anything about the college being the wrong choice. I wish this piece was longer.
