<li><p>This is why I’m glad I go to a school without a large graduate population, but yeah there are TAs, that’s why doing some independent reading if you have time is important.</p></li>
<li><p>That’s fairly obvious. My school likes to brag about how much money the textbook rental system saves, but what they don’t mention is that the cost of the rental program is added to tuition, and it ain’t pocket change either.</p></li>
<li><p>Oh THAT’S why Wake Forest waved my application fee and offered to compensate my travel costs if I visited (which is hilarious because I live very close to Wake, so they would have compensated me for like $3 worth of gas.) </p></li>
<li><p>That’s pretty much another given. This isn’t high school where the teacher will see you looking at your phone in the second row. In those huge lecture halls of course some people are going to get away with it. And I don’t think it’s really ‘stealing data’ in academia, not every faculty member is going to sit there and research and then write every lesson on their own. Sharing is caring.</p></li>
<li><p>My school is actually very open about this. There was a robbery off campus nearby and we were all alerted through the texting and e-mail system. The annual crime report is avalible on the University Police’s front page, along with a little blotter of recent arrests (The most common entries are “[Name of a freshman dorm] - Student arrested for underage alcohol use”)</p></li>
