What I mean is that living in Cincy and making fun of Indiana is like the pot calling the kettle black.

And I was referring to my home in Northern Indiana, which is distinctly different from the rest of the state.

And don't even start with the "I'm so smart because I left the state."

You pay out of state tuition to go to Georgia Tech, wow you are a real smart guy.

Edit: Forgot the ROTC was probably picking up the tab, in which case I dont blame you.

not for nothin, but to most people on either coast, its all the same; IN, OH, GA, etc. etc.
not that theres anything wrong with those states.

[Beebs]

The nothern/southern indiana cultural split is very real to me, anybody south of south of Ft Wayne talks funny. Northern Indiana either associates with Illinois if they are near Gary "The region" or with Michigan if they are central or east, "Michiana"

[Ugly Bastard]

Yea, I'm amazed how different "Indiana" feels when you're in Muncie than when you're in Michiana. It's like a totally different culture. Both of them suck, btw.

Even if ROTC wasn't footing the bill I would rather pay out of state tuition to go to one of the top 10 engineering schools in the country than goto a shitty instate school just to save some money. In the long run you'll make more anyways and recover your loses. Granted I might have picked a different out of state school if it weren't for ROTC but I still wouldn't be anywhere near Ohio or Indiana.

[Ugly Bastard]

hellcat, don't be so naive to think that the kids who grew up in Georgia don't view Georgia Tech as a "shitty instate school". Georgia sucks too, you know.

[hellcat]

Actually most of the instate people here don't think of it as a shitty school. It is slightly easier for instate students to get in but not much. Just because there are no good state schools in your state doesn't mean all state schools are shit.

IU - Top 3 music school; Top Business School
Purdue - Best State Engineering school, better than Georgia Tech

GA Tech is ranked higher.

Purdue is only #9 actually.

Oh and for the record:

My school is a public ivy, yours isn't. So please don't write off Indiana as a "Shitty School," I am only questioning your logic of "paying instate tuition to go to a great school makes you stupid."

If the ROTC is picking up the tab to go to GA Tech, more power to you. If money means nothing to you, and you just want to get the hell out, more power to you. But some people see in-state schools just as good as out of state schools - only a hell of a lot cheaper.

Also: some schools have programs that excel. Mine is 7th in the nation (Finance). Can you really blame me for saving money on out of state tuition?

[theMerciless1]

wow, i havent seen someone sweat georgia that much since ray charles.

[theMerciless1]

they ranked Rutgers above Fordham?
catholic U is 120?
BC and NYU are 40?

things have changed since i was looking @ colleges

[angry pancake]

Yeah, my law school isn't in the top 100 this year either. However, they do have 4 instate schools who have much worse bar passage rates ranked in the top 100. The admissions factors (although not relevant) are usually the same across the board, the difference is the curriculum. Their law school methodology has long been discredited.

BTW zev, Rutgers went to a bowl game this year. My law school jumped into the top 35 after Darvin Ham broke a backboard in their win over North Carolina in the NCAA basketball tournement.

[theMerciless1]

what school?

[Ironic Mustache]

Hamburger University.

[angry pancake]

Texas Tech University College of Law. It's SMU that has student who can't seem to pass the Texas bar.

[Dark Fact]

this whole thread is stupid yeah lets celebrate a pretend holiday we saw on our favorite sitcom! dumbshits.

[theMerciless1]

i have seen several resumes with Hamburger University on them.

[Ironic Mustache]

Yes, I went to UCLA but I got my law degree from Hamburger U.

[angry pancake]

Damn, Hamburger U isn't in the top 120 either.
