University of Cincinnati class of 04
UC Bearcats aka The Fighting Hoodrats
Had multiple classes with football players. They all had Asian study "assistants" who came to every class with them, took notes for them (while players slept or hollered at bitches on their cell phones). They were permitted to take all their exams privately with the tutors.
One time in ethics class this player named ladarius got up in class to read his paper on Hume and could seriously not read past a 5th grade level. He pronounced Hume as "HUM-EE" even though we'd been talking about him for weeks. The paper was obviously written by the Asian, it was eloquent, detailed, thoughtful and full of words ladarius didn't even attempt to pronounce.
The professor got PISSED, pointed at Asian tutor and told him and ladarius to come to his office now and dismissed us.
Next class got cancelled, the following week we had class again and ladarius was there with his same tutor and the professor was in don't give a fuck mode the rest of the semester. Easy A for everybody. Last class ladarius was obviously told to apologize to the professor for whatever backroom greaseball athletic committee tactics he'd been pressured by and the professor said "I don't want to hear it, you don't get what this is about and no one else does either".
He was supposed to teach next semesters ethics 3 but was gone. Dunno if he transferred or quit or what .
Heard ladarius played afl or some other shitshow but never any NFL tryouts.
UC is a shithole full of criminals, liberals, scum and villainy.
Ya VCU class of 2016, we don't even have a football team. All about basketball.
A few people on /sp/ have heard of us only because of basketball and HAVOC memes. Most notably the Michigan game a few years ago.

some schools have extremely strong programs in one area while being otherwise shitty schools, there's absolutely nothing wrong that. It's gotten to the point where "elite" schools are just high priced babysitters that have non-aggression pacts with their delicate little flowers aka "students" anyway.
so if you want to be a vet, you don't go to Stanford, you go to Kansas State.

Negro, WHAT academic culture. You went to North Texas, what did you think you were getting?
I have a four-year degree, classes were easy, the entire campus cleared out on weekends so all the DFW babbies could go hang out with their parents or high school friends. I, too, was from somewhere farther away, but even with the influx of FBS $$$, it's still UNT.
Get your degree, get out, go find a real academic institution for post-grad. You're there because it's cheap and you know this.
>>68246166
Of North Texas? There isn't any, it's a school you go to if you don't wanna spend $$ to get a degree.
>>68247028
Shit, I thought that was a fictional school they made up for the show. Go Screaming Eagles.
>>68239456
North Texas grad here. You played us at the New Orleans Bowl in 2002. We won.
The few fans I met in town were very nice, but on the NT side there were about 15-20k fans, on the UC side of the Superdome there were maybe... 700? Bad showing, senpai.
Of course, your superior football culture got the call up to the AAC, because reasons.

No clue, does the gov't not pay for housing?
In the U.S. you can go to school wherever you want (if you can afford it), so if you live in California and want to attend uni in Florida (though I can't think of why anyone would), you can go experience a new culture, people, and academic program.
And also not all academic programs (or pricing) is the same, maybe in Canadia they're all the same, I dunno.
>>68249209
lots of students go to in state schools but loads of states are fuck huge and you could live 500 miles away from your parents.

no government would not pay for housing.
Most universities have similar prices, but generally cheaper and have tax breaks for in-province students. also, lots of people save a ton of money living at home.
They make a lot of money from international students who pay a ridiculous amount in tuition.
>>68249209
Not really, the vast majority of people in my school in southern california went to some 2 year college, cal state (long beach or fullerton) , or a UC. Only if you go to some try hard prep school then you get a good number of students who end up at an east coast prestige school. And even then most of them still stay in the area.

What is the point of that, half the point of college is being 19 with zero adult supervision.
Yes, you get in-province breaks, but the same holds true for the US, but people will still leave their state (or travel to the other side of their own) to get the best education possible (or, stay home and save money, but quality of uni is not guaranteed).

Most big public universities aren't located in the largest cities of each state. California schools being the largest exception to that rule. But in most states the majority of students never lived within 10 minutes of the university until they started going there. The University of Alabama, for example, is at least an hour away from most of the population centers in Alabama. Syracuse is several hours away from NYC. Penn State is in the middle of Pennsylvania, not in Pittsburgh or Philadelphia.

It seems like in California, most kids either go to a state school or a UC. Very few that I've seen travel outside the state for school.
But really, what would the point be? Basically every UC except a few are like Top 10-15 ranked public schools and you get in-state tuition there, and a lot of the Cal States are good schools as well. And California is big enough that you can go to a good school and be close enough to home if something is needed to go back for but far enough to be on your own
Division I Soccer and a shitty basketball team and that's it. Basically a community college with a university title that's right down the street from one of the states major unis, but motherfuck BYU and those Mormons.
kinda like it though, no hardcore progressive left bullshit like safe spaces or whatever and no professors spewing radical rhetoric you don't care for (besides subtle religious conservative bullshit) but Im satisfied with my business program, Mormons know how to make money.
