Uh... John Hopkins University has one of the most diverse medical programs in the country. If not, the best.

Or am I missing something from your "burn"?

Like I said John Hopkins University doesn't exist, so it can't have a medical program.

Well, I had a look on the "university" my gf wants to go to; she was completely hysterical when we got there while I was trying to get rid of my tunnel vision. Dutch city traffic jams kick ass!
Anyway, the building was quite big, all the students were happy gay.

The disturbing thing is, they have the balls to call it a university in this country, while it's actually HBO (not academic). The Hague university, my ass, it's just a college.

The law students spoke better english than the teacher. He didn't even try it seemed and the business & management teacher had a sucky attitude and a very sloppy powerpoint presentation.

Oh well, thank god I go to a real university; which is actually a university for our standards.

college can usually imply a 2 year program, or community college aspect. while university is always 4 years and they usually include graduate programs. the exception to this is some colleges are exclusively graduate programs, but are thus still only 2 years.

ok so i went a private all-guys catholic school here in southern california, and we had kids that went across the spectrum according to universities and colleges. we had guys that went to MIT, Brown, UPenn, Princeton, and so on and so forth, and then you had the guys that went to the local community colleges like chaffey and mt sac. the demographic of my school was middle to upper-middle to upper class familes.

I thought the wierd thing was though that almost everybody at my school got financial aid. my best friend is going to USC but he's getting somewhere along the lines of 30K a year in scholarships and grants, which takes out a significant portion of tuition. He is middle class, and race doesnt matter apparantly because a white guy in the same situation got about the same amount.

This all goes to show that anybody can get financial aid no matter where they go, be it the Ivy's or USC or anywhere for that matter.

on a side note, most of the teachers are "imported" nowadays so while they are highly intelligent they often dont speak English that well.

For those that are wondering i'm an architecture major at Cal Poly Pomona (which is near caltech). i didnt apply for financial aid because well, it costs less for me to go to college then it did to go to high school! State Schools FTW!
