It made me stop and think: how many different Colleges gave the courses I took? Answer: 4.

Mostly Eng. and Arts, but I took one or two in the Ag. School and one in Hotel (wine-tasting, of course).

[quote Weder][quote Jim Hyla][quote jtwcornell91]Olbermann is wrong about an Aggie being able to take "just as many courses" in endowed colleges as an Artsie, though. IIRC statutory college students can take no more that half of their courses in endowed colleges. Got to get some benefit for that extra tuition.

But, wow, "only the Arts and Sciences College is Ivy League" is the sort of "SUNY Ithaca" crap you expect to hear from students at other Universities, not from a Cornellian.[/quote]Actually, can't they take as many as they want, but they are limited to how many they can get at a state rate? I don't know the exact wording but I always thought it was a financial thing.[/quote]

From the Ag School's graduation requirements:

Maximum credits from endowed colleges: 55 endowed credits can be completed without incurring excess tuition charges. Endowed credits include all courses from departments in the College of Arts and Sciences, Architecture, Art, and Planning, Engineering, the Hotel School, the Johnson School of Graduate Management, and the Law School. Courses completed during the summer and winter sessions do not count against the 55 endowed credit limit.[/quote]Thanks.

The university has eliminated that restriction in recent years. Olbermann may still be wrong if he's referring to the time he was in school, though.

FYP :-}

(I guess you could argue it should be alumnae, genitive. No neuter jokes, please.)

I found it useful for napping. Then again, I was ILR so if there was a place in that building you could nap, I found it.

I slept in class a lot my first semester. This taught me a valuable lesson. My bed is a lot more comfortable than a classroom. So then I just stopped going to those classes.

Ann Coulter and Bill Maher are on tour this week - New York on Monday, Boston on Tuesday, Chicago on Wednesday. By the time I got the notice about Chicago there weren't any tickets left through Ticketmaster. Anybody else get to see them? http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0309/19830.html

Anyone who manages to top that is going to hell. I could try and make a joke from the Sun's perspective, but I don't believe in hell, so it'd be a waste of a perfectly good one-way ticket.

I heard Engineers used to nap in the hydraulics lab. I guess that would constitute the bottom of the gorge now...
