Can you guys request female roommates over in St Mike's too? I know in my residence they've had it since the 70's. We're hardly dealing with groundbreaking shit here guys. Nobody uses it for the most obvious of reasons- cooties.
Wait seriously?  You guys are allowed to have male/female rooms?  St Mikes is Catholic so we're not even allowed to be on the same floor

Isn't part of the American Dream to be able to achieve and become all that you want to be? Why then do you endorse the blocking of lower-class, perfectly capable citizens from attending institutions of excellence, just because their wallet isn't big enough?

Yup, in America you are free to become all you want to be, it is of course meant to be accomplished through YOUR hard work and achievement, NOT the hard work and achievement of others.

Plenty of programs to help up "lower-class perfectly capable citizens who want to attend institutions of excellence".

By the way,what should be come of "lower class perfectly capable citizens" who do not choose to take advantage of socialized handouts? Still want to make life "fair" for them as well I suppose.

Where could you possibly form the assumption that I support helping freeloading, no-effort fucksters... because I displayed support for academically-capable students with small wallets? I guess in your ideal America, nobody would be capable of attending their ideal college until their mid-40's, then, after 15 years of saving money at McDonalds...

You're incredibly narrowminded, it's actually shocking.

I formed the idea when you endorsed a "fair" socialized society where the producers of said society is FORCED to cover the lives of the non-producers. Ya know, "craaaazy socialists"

you endorse handing over college education through the efforts of others instead of through the efforts of yourself.

You do not display "support for academically-capable students with small wallets". What you display is a free handout to them which is forced to be paid for by someone else.

It's not forced... don't like it - move. Most of the people that pay their taxes nowdays and contribute towards the younger generation went through the same system and lived on borrowed-money for 3/4 years, as well. The government provides the framework because it works: people achieve to their full potential and go on to become fully responsible, taxpaying citizens themselves. All in all, the quality of life and the national population's education standard rises, thanks to the big contributive cycle. In America, if you can't afford the top colleges... tough titty, know your place, etc. I know for sure which one I prefer, and I'm not significantly borrowing from the pockets of any begrudged British public.

LOL, "if you don't like it move." In other words forced to pay or forced to leave. But no one is forced, Gotcha ya.

then explain why people were flocking to America in droves seeking opportunity and freedom abandoning their home land, even when they know they must pay for their own schooling. While you are at it, exdplain how in 2 hundred years America has become the most genrerous and powerful country in the history of humanity. and yes I mean this even with our nations checkered past, which compared to Europes, is still tame.

It is not the govts. job to coddle its citizens. It is the govts job, through taxes, to provide the safe infrastructure for its citizens to achieve what they will.

Immigration is much the same in the UK, with droves of people trying to come here (in fact a much greater proportional number if you factor in population/landmass).

And providing affordable loans so students can pay for their own education and go on to be more productive members of society is coddling?

a loan for college is not "FREE" college. A loan is hand up, not a hand out. There is a difference. So no a loan is not coddling.

Actually no, I think it does not matter which school you attend. Unless of course 2 + 2 at Harvard equals something different than 2 + 2 at the community college.

If you are teaching facts on a subject, and not a personal agenda, what difference should it make?

Given the massive access to funding afforded by major research universities you'll have faculty who are privy to the latest research.

Poor to low/middle-income but smart students get a free ride at Harvard:
"Reinforcing its commitment to opportunity and excellence across the economic spectrum, Harvard today (March 30) announced a significant expansion of its 2004 financial aid initiative for low- and middle-income families. Beginning with the class admitted this week, parents in families with incomes of less than $60,000 will no longer be expected to contribute to the cost of their children attending Harvard. In addition, Harvard will reduce the contributions of families with incomes between $60,000 and $80,000."


Most get some type of financial aid:
"Two-thirds of Harvard students receive financial aid, and the average grant award for next year is expected to be more than $33,000, or 70 percent of the total cost of attendance. In the past decade, Harvard has reduced the median four-year debt for graduating seniors from more than $16,000 to $6,400 - less than one-third of the national average of $20,000."

Undoubtedly the level of study and expectancies involved in a university such as Harvard are quite simply much higher than in community colleges. I attend one and they require only the bare minimums to "succeed" in. There are many advanced courses that comm. colleges simply do not offer, therefore, your potential for learning is quite limited.
