Have you been to Yale or Johns Hopkins?
And USC is mere blocks away from Watts.

Quite the opposite of what Reck talks about with friends at his tranny clubs. It's very hard for him to understand.
don't make fun of ducks like that, tbh
WE are responsible for a lot of Germany’s infrastructure today because it was decimated, especially by the British that went for payback because of the bombing of London. If the Nazis had bombed NY like London, I wonder if any mercy would have occurred.
University of Chicago.
Check that out.
I know Yale is close to a shifty area. Also, Stanford is right by East Palo Alto.
yeah... just at UNT in my 3 years there from August 2013 - May 2016 there was a rapid reformulation process towards more privatized food and less and less invested into the cafeterias.
The first semester the food at 3 out of the 5 cafeterias available on campus was downright GOOD. The vegan hall (Maple) was never any good and the biggest one (Kerr) was always mediocre and overcrowded like a bad golden corral, but at least they were open until 2am and provided some interesting treats at times.
The UNT student union (which actually looked like a union) closed and got largely demo'd in October, 2013. It had a small privatized food court with a Chick Fil A and a Taco Bell and a university-run food place which sold cheap but actually solid American food (chicken, burgers, friday fish) . That closed, and moved to a nearby temporary tent/portable to the north. That would be around for the next 2 years. The tent concept was an eyesore, but it was oddly practical, and the food quality was solid, plus that little UNT kitchen was good because you could get 2 large chicken tenders and fries, tots or halfsies (mix of both) for $1.99, a large pub burger and fries for $3.99, etc. paid with "Flex dollars" included in the student meal plan.
Meanwhile from 2013-2015 the food quality at the cafeterias steadily went downward. At the beginning of 2014 the cafe hall that was central to the campus and largely considered the best up to that point (Bruce Hall) went through massive, expensive renovations and nearly doubled the size of the dining space, but the food quality greatly suffered. At some point the second best hall (the one by the football stadium) lost quality as well, and the third best hall (West) drastically shortened its hours and started closing at 2pm on Fridays. Even old Kerr Hall stopped doing late nights, and started closing at 9pm every night. Budget cuts galore, to finance the $17 billion new union.
And guess what? When that new union fiiiiiiiiiinally opened in January 2016 (the lazy-ass workers got paid a trillion bucks to smoke and laugh and speak spanish most of the time) it was completely modern and boring. It was basically a shopping mall concept with a bunch of privatized, overpriced, bland food, a few student services, a bunch of wasteful open space and an auditorium or two. But it was "LEED Certified!!!!1!!11!one!" WOW!!!!! .....puh-lease. In addition to the Chick-Fil A, they gave up Taco Bell for an even worse chain in Taco Bueno, they scrapped the UNT American food kitchen, added a Krispy Krunchy chicken (expensive and greasy), Fuzzy's Tacos (expensive, crappy and bad customer service), Which Wich (boring) and some hippie bowl food place, I forgot the name.
Such a disappointment. But guess what? I went into Ohio State University's union at the beginning of the fall semester in 2018, and guess what??? It looked almost EXACTLY the same as the New UNT Union (boring shopping mall style concept), except the decorations were red instead of green. I hate it. I feel like the entire college experience of the past has been compromised and ruined in the name of maximizing profits, cutting corners and promoting their crony-capitalist-liberal agenda. Sort of like Hillary.
Hey you at least had the cafeteria for a few years. By the time I got to Arizona (and I went to school before you did) it had already been turned into the full shopping mall w food court concept.
They didn't have any dorm hall cafeterias at all??? WTF
let me see

I don't see anything that seems like a traditional in-dorm hall cafeteria at the U of Arizona. There is however one all you can eat place called '85 North.
The idea of "the college experience" is
College should be about education to prepare you for entering the workforce. People treat it like an extended sleepover.
nope, it’s fully commercialized. The food selection sucked too.
Getting away from parents is huge based on what I have seen. Kids can’t enter the workforce if they can’t take care of themselves. ( fast food while living at home is not preferable)The helicopter parenting is a big problem. Maybe required military service is needed so kids can be taught something about taking responsibility for themselves.

Yes, absolutely, education should be defined and limited by the requirements of the job market.
If your "college experience" isn't slavishly attuned to the needs of employers, you're obviously doing it wrong.
:eyeroll
that's what it ended up pretty much being for me after the first year, the last 2 years were extremely boring and rudimentary. only got laid twice after the first year, and one of them was in the summertime with an internet date.
I think there should be balance between fun and work/getting good grades and preparing for a great start to the career.
All work and no fun = depression, loneliness, sadness and misery. Leads to quick burnout problem
All fun and no work = impractical and leads to becoming a screw up, even if you do graduate, and a lot of times the uber-partyers don't even graduate
There should be a balance. Otherwise you're not doing life right.
Why aren’t more Americans working? Fed Chair Powell says blame education and drugs, not welfare.
‘It isn’t better or more comfortable to be poor and on public benefits now, it’s actually worse than it was,’ Powell told U.S. senators this week.

So Repugs cutting public assistance, and refusing to help those who work at poverty wages, to force people to find work, ISN'T WORKING.
Will Trash fire Powell, replace him with someone who promotes the oligarchy's inhumane bull ?
I noticed on the website there weren't any "unlimited" meal plans nor dorm hall cafeterias. A bunch of small commercial stuff.
Meal plans being fully "optional" for all students is the first major red flag IMO. The best universities require a cafeteria meal plan (and a dorm room) for all freshmen, and require a meal plan for sop res and upperclassmen who choose to live on campus.
Not for EVERYONE though. Just for screw ups, dropouts, those who get pregnant/father children way too young, etc.
I never considered or wanted to be a part of the military. I'm a pacifist. I relocated from San Antonio to Denton in 2013 all by myself at age 19 and I think I turned out just fine. After the first semester I never had extreme homesickness. The only thing I ever miss about home these days is the cooking and hugs, but that doesn't keep me from working and making six figures and providing for myself.
Okay you get the Peace Corps
And a course self esteem and the need to justify one’s mythical social standing.
One of the things about UofA is that it was basically a feeder school for rich SoCal kids who couldn’t get into UCLA or USC, and they all had parents who could pay basically whatever the school wanted to charge. Arizona’s governor also cut university funding by literally 40% when I was in school, tuition literally doubled from when I was a freshman to when I was a senior
I don't have a passport. I prefer making money though actually.
Yikes.
I thought money could buy their way into schools?
