gollark: I'm pretty sure this is a significant decision with actual differences, and so there's something like a "right answer". Randomly picking would not be likely to find that.
gollark: Besides, which die would I roll? I would have to decide on a die. Which requires another die.
gollark: No.
gollark: I don't know which university I actually want to go to out of the ones which didn't reject me, because deciding such things is very hard.
gollark: This means you have to apply 3 months earlier like medicine students.
