Admissions error?

Remember those insecure early days of Freshman/First year when you and most everyone else thought for sure the admissions office had made a mistake? Looks like the folks at Colorado State may actually have made a big blunder:

My brother is a senior at CU Boulder and works in the freshman orientation office. This week, he and his coworkers were trying to assist a young woman who was having difficulty locating a building in which she said she had been instructed to attend an orientation session. When she said the name of the building was Braiden Hall, the orientation crew told her that it sounded familiar, but that it definitely wasn't a CU building. "Let me see your acceptance letter," one person asked her. After looking at the letterhead, the mix-up became clear. "Miss, I believe you've been accepted to Colorado State. In Ft. Collins." She had been looking for the CSU Student Union. The mortified young lady's face dropped. "But I just signed a lease!" she said, then fled immediately.
