<p>I disagree, our only purpose is to move stuff. the constant motion of things is the essence of life, for it is never ceasing motion. In this, I argue, that our bodies are here to be included in the movement of "stuff"<--insert whatever name you would like.</p>
<p>What if I'm paying $30,000 to go to a state school...(I'm out of state).</p>
<p>Although my school is one of the best public colleges in the nation...</p>
<p>We got a B for hottness. I agree, not many obese chicks here, but not many drop dead gorgeous females either.</p>
<p>It's very unlikely that a person will be both very hot and very intelligent. It's just baseball pitchers sucking at hitting. To be so good at one thing AND be so good at another is just genetically improbable.</p>
<p>311Griff, like I said, if you have the resources than go fot it. Living in New Mexico, I get to go to school in state for free (other than books, and housing). NM may not have the best programs for my degree, but there's no way I'd pass up the opportunity to go to school for practically nothing.</p>
<p>Well, if I were you, I'd make the same choice. Do you go to UNM, or what?</p>
<p>haha. i love this quote from a Princetonian describing their girls as "the majority is ugly as sin".</p>
<p>Griff311-Private schools are not necesarily better funded than large state schools. The excessive amount of research funds is precisely the benefit of these institutions. Does your school have it's own nuclear reactor that undergrads experiment with? Mine does. Not trying to brag or anythng, but my university pretty much buys whatever it wants, and I still only pay $3,800/semester tuition.</p>
<p>That is way off topic though. The girls here are really hot, and probably hotter than a private school, another great benefit. We got an A-, which I will gladly attest to as true. If it weren't so cold in the winter and everyone didn't turn pasty white, I bet we'd be an A+ school. (UW-Madison if u were wondering)</p>
<p>Hmmm, I think that physical attractiveness and intelligence are not really related. I do agree that there is a tendency for some very attractive girls to not do well in school. There is a reason for that: girls who are naturally attractive tend in high school to get swallowed up. They are fawned over because of their looks, people assume they are not that intelligent and never try to encourage them to cultivate their studies. Eventually I think most of them start believing it themselves or downplay their studies because they think this is 1) more attractive for some reason and fitting to their "role" and 2) less threatening to boys. There have been studies done on this subject like the one by Carol Gilligan which came to the conclusion that adolescent girls refocused their attention to trying to look pretty to attract boys rather than achievement. It would be logical that girls who are naturally attractive would fall into this trap more easily.</p>
<p>packrbackr, I don't know about a nuclear reactor because I'm not studying science. I'm studying business, and we do have our own center for financial analysis with real time stock quotes, market indexes, etc.
None of the state schools have anything that comes close to our finance center...it's pretty advantageous for finance classes, since we, as students, don't have to try and imagine what it's like on wall street with the capability to see real time quotes, we actually get to be in this type of environment. Ofcourse, we can't actaully do any investing, because it's against the law per our contract.</p>
<p>Actually UT has a finance center similar to the one you describe and I believe undergrads in the Financial Anaylsts program can use the facilities.</p>
<p>oops, I meant the state schools where I live....I don't know about other states. There are probably some who have the financial analysis center similar to ours. However, I do know that we have the only one in the intermountain west.</p>
<p>I've always been told Vandy had such high ratings, but never knew it was ranked an A+.</p>
<p>UVa should definitely be an A+.</p>
<p>The point is simply that private schools are not necesarily better equipped than state schools. but this is really far off topic guys. we need to be talking about the ladies :-P</p>
<p>The gist is that smart girls don't dress like skanks because they're smarter than that.</p>
<p>But would the world be a better place if all girls dressed like skanks? Absolutely. </p>
<p>That way we could determine who the hottest chicks are without having to factor in makeup, skankiness of clothes, etc. </p>
<p>C'mon smart girls, pull up those thongs so we can see the edges above those extra low rider jeans! Basically, dress like Christina Aguilera.</p>
<p>you first.</p>
<p>I've heard many people say that there aren't attractive women at UMich, and I gotta say, that's not true. There are a LOT of really good-looking girls here, and while per-capita it may not be the same as a UCSB for example, it's certainly not anything to worry about.</p>
<p>Villanova....an A? I think NOT.</p>
<p>morada,</p>
<p>Fair enough. lol.</p>
<p>Wearing a thong won't make an ugly girl hot.</p>
<p>Arizona State Hands Down!!!!!!</p>
