re: Apparently some posters think LSU >= Harvard, academically

[quote]What is the point of going if you aren't going to find out what that school offers for your major? [/quote]
I think most prospective college students intuitively know that only a few d-bags will actually stick to the major they pick in HS (if they pick one at all) anyway.

True, but those are probably not the people deciding between going to LSU debt free or taking on some debt at an Ivy League school.

Not sure. But I'd bet the two posters quoted in the OP fall into this category too....

[quote]A generalization is Harvard>LSU period. Whatever LSU offers, Harvard does it better.[/quote]
You're interpreting a generalization as a categorical statement. Generally, whatever LSU offers, Harvard does it better.
Your argument is like someone rejecting the notion that the U.S. is ...

[quote]Actually for high school students who know they want to go to med school or Ph.D programs after college, going to a state school is a great idea because undergraduate GPA, standardized testing, and research experience are the only three things that really matter.
Research experience will b...

[quote]LSU is one of very few universities in the country with a synchrotron, and it is essential for the line of work I plan on getting in. And as an LSU student I have nearly free access to it. Whereas I have seen shipping containers from Ivy League schools that have sent their experiments down he...

[quote]You are assuming LSU is the end of the formal education road for any of them.

No I wasn't. But it sounds like your friends were assuming (as [b]HS[/b] seniors) that they'd end up with a high GPA from a school they never attended (LSU) and a high score on a graduate-level stand...

The people I talk about could have applied to Harvard themselves and had a realistic shot of getting in if they didn't want to 1) spend so much fricking money, 2) go so far away from home. [/quote]
If your friends are:
1) dumb enough to think that the hefty price tag for Harvard isn't...

[quote]No, I am not.
It is just that I never associated with stupid people in my studies. Maybe it was just me. [/quote]
Right, because the intelligence of students at universities is best measured in a "stupid vs. not stupid" dichotomy.
I'm sure the quality of the discussion for a randomly...

[quote]Just because folks are smarter at one school doesn't inherently mean that they received a better education. [/quote]

Posted by bnozzles on 8/25/09 at 11:36 pm
99.9% of these kids will have never been this far away from home in their life. And certain demographics of people (well represented on this team) have been known to have weird reactions in situations like this. Combine that with the stress of a season opener and this might translate to not coverin...

[quote]ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - The kick is up — and into the video screen.
Tennessee Titans rookie punter A.J. Trapasso's boot in the third quarter of the opening game at the new Cowboys Stadium hit one of the 60-yard long high-definition video screens that hang about 90 feet above the field.

A couple of people have posted claims that Loston is waiting on a test score for a correspondence course... and the overwhelming reaction so far has been: "BS!! you get ur scores like the same day!! something fishy is going on!"
As a former TA that graded tests for two lower-level independent st...
