being poor, destitute and scummy is part of the columbia attraction, i think. it's that odd phenomenon where every european arts student wants to be like baudelaire or keats and every american arts student wants to be a beatnik or bukowski.

Sweet, I should use this thread to put down the quidditch club that's trying to establish themselves beyond being sad nerds here. I think they only started this semester, so most people still make fun of them for wearing capes and such.

Lancaster have a "Role Playing society" and they all dress up like fagets, I wouldn't be surprised if they play quidditch.

Pretty much spot on... Harvard/Yale if you want to rule the world. Brown if you're into journalism... But Columbia is right next to Harlem lelz. Least not as bad as Berkeley where four Asian students got robbed by one black dude outside the school lol.
Columbia is IN Harlem. Of course, that section of Harlem has been gentrified....

Just because a few select retards choose to do this does not mean all Harvard/Ivy league students are as retarded. Although this particular case of stupid probably rubs on of anything it touches.

I really fail to see why it is any more retarded than grown men dressing up in horizontally striped shirts and chasing a ball around while beating each other senseless. There's really nothing on the planet more homoerotic than a scrum.

University of Texas at Austin is just a really good public school (top 10 ranked Business, Engineering, Pharmacy, Nursing). Not to mention the top athletic programs. It's a great bang-for-your-buck school if you're in-state.

Rice likes to pride itself as "the Southern Ivy." It's a small liberal arts school, and kinda has that Ivy feel, but I never applied. Not worth it.
