Default fly fishing paradise/ the true college experience

As a 20 year old I've been faced with a very hard decision. My first
semester at college was in the wilderness of Montana fishing every
trout stream within the state. I caught plenty of fish and a few that I
will never forget. But lets not forget the other part of college, known
as the social life. Socially finding a girl under the 200lb mark was
difficult and being jersey born im sure most of you can relate to the
fact that we have some relatively high standards. My decision then led
to me going to the University of Arizona where the phrase "there are
plenty of fish in the sea" takes on new meaning although none of these
fish are the type to inhabit our beloved fresh water streams ,but
instead the So Cal region of wealth and fashion.
So as I've made my decision to have the entire college
experience instead of one that consisted of elk and rainbows, what
would you choose? Do you go for a land of wild trout or the land of
beautiful women? for me personally at the age of 20 I feel I've fished
several rivers in the country worth fishing (Green, Provo, Bozeman
area, Bighorn, Henry's fork, Snake, yellowstone,white
river,poconos,catskills, and hopefully many more to come. Lets hear
your choice? Trout or tail?(im sure most of you guys will be able to
translate) And lets not forget that I have may through august to fish
the delaware as much as I want to sooth my addiction for the season.

Take a trip this week to the University of Delaware. You will be
amazed at what you see. Since college, I've done renovation and repair
work on some other east coast colleges, and nothing compares to UD.
UPenn, Villanova, Yale, UMBC, Hopkins, Princeton - they aren't in the
same league. When I was there as a young buck, it was difficult to
concentrate on science homework, so I switched to an English major.

Note that if you live on campus at the Towers, you'll have a five
minute walk to the White Clay Creek and a five minute walk to the Deer
Park Tavern. Also note that you are a brief drive from the spring
creeks of Chester, Lancaster and York counties, the Susquehanna
itself, the Delaware and the small streams of Northern New Castle
County. I fished metaphorically in college rather than literally, so I
missed the local streams and had to make up for it later.
