I thought I knew nature. I grew up in a rural area on a large patch of land and thought I had it covered: the birds, bees, deer, coyotes, frogs, turtles, a few ponds, lots of trees and a huge garden.

The university has no policy regarding admissions officials looking at applicants' social networking Web sites despite an educational service company's report that one in 10 admission officers from the nation's top universities are doing so.
