People have mixed feelings about the French. At Columbia, a French and Francophile studies major might imply that we love them. But how did the student population as a whole react to the news of French President Nicolas Sarkozy’s visit?
25%—“Gee, I hope he’s bringing Carla Bruni!” (aka the entire straight male population at Columbia)
10%—“Do you think they’ll serve escargot at John Jay?”
30%—“An opportunity to practice my French—charmante!”
15%—“...Who is Sarkozy?”
20%—“...Who cares about Sarkozy?”
