Studying abroad
You would probably be paying what we call "out of state" tuition if it is based on the specific public University's tuition rates. Students from that particular state would pay a discounted (discounted, yeah right) rate.

Studying abroad
I have never been to a UK university--or the UK--but I have a hard time believing there will be many difficulties for you. And yes, people will love your accent, especially the females haha. Connecticut and a lot of New England states are rather high brow and more uptight compared to many other areas of the country. Of course this isn't true for ALL people of that area (working class port city areas comes to mind), but it's what I've seen when I have been there. I'm going to be studying in France for three weeks this summer, anyone have any tips for me? :)

Today...
Well.... One of my female friends told me that short shorts were really comfortable. I said "haha, bs." However, I'll try anything once, so she gave me a pair of her shorts. I tried them on, and there were actually pretty comfortable. Then she paid me $5 to wear them the rest of the day. (which I did) :-w I wouldn't have accepted any less than $30.

True story :thumbup: I'm in total agreement. The only homework and tests I have to do are papers (History student). It's a foolish thing to not write what your professor wants. Learn the tenets of writing, suck it up, and write what they want. After you graduate, you are then granted the ability to write whatever you please. You just gotta play the game.

I mean to be fair, Zeppelin ripped off a lot of their lyrical ideas from Tolkien.

Tuition - Public Funding
I totally disagree with you on the point of funding, but agree with you that college isn't for everyone. There are many people who cannot afford college that are very capable of and willing to learn. Without state funding, college regresses to the way it was before the democratization of institutions of higher learning during the 1960s and 1970s. Nothing more than wealthy elites educating other wealthy elites.

Tuition - Public Funding
Assume, have you been to college yet?

KONY 2012
The group of people who aren't gullible and realize that supporting a cause by pushing the "Like" button or "I'm attending" button does absolutely nothing to change anything in this world.

THANK YOU! I've taken a few courses in African history to know better than to believe this garbage. Relationships between different groups and countries in Africa are extremely complex. There is no "right" side to stand behind.

I've never been on any of those sites really. I get it all secondhand through Facebook or here.

Facebook parenting for the troubled teen

House parties are parties that are in a house. For me, it's a shitty college house filled to the brim with bros and bustdowns. You can't move at all and everyone is yelling. I don't mind a party if it's in a house and it's my close friends and under 30 people or so, but the random house parties just suck. I'm not sure what a flat party is. Is that smaller? And I don't go to parties, I just go to the bar haha. Or we have a pre-game party with ~15 people and then go to the bars around 11 or 12.

Facebook parenting for the troubled teen
Assume: Rationality and logic are just as limiting of intellectual parameters as any hard line ideology--be it religious or not. By saying that rationality and logic are the only means by which one can come to a conclusion, you are in essence saying that not all thoughts are created equal. This is an extremely exclusionary mindset and limits intellectual freedom. Not only does it subject every idea to a cold brand of calculated empiricism, but completely removes the human emotions and faculties from the entire process--and furthermore, it is completely elitist. How does one become rational? Surely you agree we are not all born with reason. It is something that is developed, in most cases, through education (formal or informal). What of the people that are not allowed or exposed to this type of education? If reason and logic are the ultimate determinants of what actions or ideas are "wrong" or "right," then those who lack the mental capabilities to comprehend the boundaries and possibilities of reason; those who lack access to education in reason; or those who simply refuse to submit to reason a source of cultural authority must then have to submit to their intellectual betters in order to receive guidance. My point here is that strict adherence to reason and logic as the source of intellectual authority inherently engenders elitism. I would like to see your response to my arguments here on this board, but if you want to send it as a PM you are more than welcome since it is slightly off topic.

IQ Testing
Same goes for the ACT or SAT. Tests are such an awful way to measure how much a person has learned or is capable of learning and are based on outdated nineteenth-century modes of education.
