The dorms are shit. Its on a plot of land out in bumfuck moon twp that was probably $10 an acre. Everything the do the do cheap as fuck. I remember my first semester the network was so slow that you couldnt even log onto AIM, and any webpage you tried to load would time out. And before that they just had dial-up… I had several professors that said they taught the same course at CCAC and made almost twice as much… :ugh: All this for $16,000 a year. ---

at my business school graduation on Saturday they asked us to donate, but the Dean sorta made a joke of it and said to only donate “if the football and basketball teams are doing well” lol. At the main commencement ceremony on Sunday, there wasn’t a word from anyone about donations, not even the president of the Alumni association… Oh well, I’d donate/will donate in a heartbeat to Pitt. ---

I’m always torn on what to do with donations. I try to give a little bit to the Mech E dept and I can designate what it’s used for (like scholarships). Or at least they tell you that you can say where it’s used. Since I got some grants and scholarships I kind of feel like I should give something back. :dunno: Other times I just say screw them. ---

RMU is a rip. Its a community college with dorms and 4 year programs. It will probably be a decent school in about 20 years though. ---

Dont know shit about the medical undergrad, and the IS program is indeed kick ass. But, it sucks going to moon high school to watch home football games. the two main (one of them being the one with the basketball court) buildings with classrooms are old as fuck and have the cheapest pos furniture. The dorms suck. the teachers are underpaid. They charge $250 a year to park on campus and then slap you with a ticket every chance they get. less than 1,000 kids stay on campus. Its not a BAD school. But I do think that its a bit overpriced, and Ive heard you bitch about that before too so dont play like Im coming out of left field. And like I also said, they seem to be reinvesting a lot of the money now, and they have tons of land, so I’m sure in 15 years it will be damn nice. ---

And in the next 5 years they are putting in all new dorms. This past year so many people lived on campus they had to buy out two floors in a hotel in robinson. and don’t forget the purchase of the Neville Island Center. this created clubs and other D1 sporting teams.
