<p>maguo,</p>
<p>I'll just let you live in your silly little fantasy. :p</p>
<p>Natty Ice? Good Lord, man, at least get yourself a Sam Adams.</p>
<p>are u #&$*ing me?
nat ice is the worse than pee pee.
well, alch is alch
but man
its so bad.</p>
<p>You know what's confusing? There's actually a decent brew co. in Greensboro, N. Carolina called Natty Greens. See, when people talk about "Natty," I think of that place.</p>
<p>Good beer there. </p>
<p>The only remotely drinkable light beer on the market is Sam Adams Light.</p>
<p>I don't know about you guys, but Natty Ice is fine with me. I hate Sam Adams as well. Coors Light beats it out. But Dos Equis is still the king of all domestic beers.</p>
<p>Dos Equis isn't a domestic. It's an import. It's bottled in Monterrey, Mexico.</p>
<p>How can you hate Sam Adams? It's one of the few actually really well-brewed beers in the US! Plus, they're one of the few US brewers that make a variety of good beers, ranging from porters, to ales, to hefe weizens.</p>
<p>Sigh, kids these days and their tastes in crap beer. :p</p>
<p>I thought Dos Equis was bottled somewhere in PA. Wait, I'll go have my friend buy one so I can check.
Hey, at least we like cold beer. You Japanese kids, drinking that warm Sake and warm beer. What's up with that?</p>
<p>Who said I'm Japanese? Read my profile. Besides, the Japanese don't drink warm beer. Where'd you get that from?</p>
<p>My bad. That's like one of the biggest stereotypes, that Japanese drink warm beer. I guess I'm wrong there too.</p>
<p>I have never once experienced that. And I've drank with quite a few Japanese.</p>
<p>They just drink crappy beer. It's like Budweiser, only "more bad."</p>
<p>So...what was the topic again?</p>
<p>Screw the topic. Discussing beer is much more interesting.</p>

<li><p>there is a lot of weed smokers on campus. I live with people who have 3.8+ gpa in the business school and engineering school and they smoke weed while they do their homework. It bothered me quite a bit. My freshman year, my hallway was filled with marajuana smell, i know there were more than 2 people smoking that stuff. </p></li>
<li><p>I think it is a party school. I don't think Michigan's reputation academically is great. There are too many free loaders in this school. I'm an engineer, and half of my classes involve group work, and i think 80% of my groups have been horrible. Like for example, I want to meet on saturday to work on the report at 1 pm( i think this is pretty late) and u get two people objecting because "I'll be too hungover", and then i say "lets meet at 6pm" and then they go "oh, i have to goto a party, but i'll do the work on my own time" and then they never do it and you have to end up doing the whole thing yourself. And there is absolutely nothing u can do. Supposedly u can talk to the professor, i've done that, and so have many people i know, but they said "this simulates real world team working", and basically tell the guy to contribute more or the professor will lower his grade(Which doesn't do anything)
This stuff happens so often its ridiculous, i don't think schools like Carnegie Mellon or Cornell has this problem.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>"I don't think Michigan's reputation academically is great."</p>
<p>LOL Yeah, right. Let us see now.</p>
<p>1) USNWR academic reputation/peer assessment score: Michigan = 4.5/5.0 (tied with Penn at #13 in the nation, ahead of Brown, Dartmouth and Northwestern).</p>
<p>2) USNWR: Michigan has a top 3 undergraduate Business program.</p>
<p>3) USNWR: Michigan has a top 6 or 7 undergraduate Engineering school in the nation.</p>
<p>4) Fiske: Michigan is one of just 20 universities to receive ***** for Academics.</p>
<p>5) Gourman Report: Michigan ranked #3 in the nation at the undergraduate level.</p>
<p>6) Barron's: Michigan is the "best university all around".</p>
<p>7) Wall Street Journal: Michigan had the 18th highest placement rate and the 5th highest number of students enrolling into top 5 graduate professional programs, comparable to Chicago, Penn, Northwestern, Cornell, Johns Hopkins and Caltech.</p>
<p>8) One of just 10 or so universities in the US where undergrads are heavilu recruited by the top 5 Management Consulting firms (McKinsey, Bain, BCG, Booz Allen, Mercer and Carlyle), top 10 IBs (Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan, Lehman Brothers, Lazard, Blackstone, Citigroup, UBS, CSFB, Merrill Lynch, Deutsche Bank) and top 10 manufacturing companies (GE, Boeing, Lockheed, Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, Cisco, Ford, Eli Lilly).</p>
<p>9) USNWR: Along with Stanford, Michigan is the only school in the nation to be ranked in the top 10 in every major professional program, including Business, Education, Engineering, Law and Medicine.</p>
<p>10) USNWR: Along with Cal, Harvard and Stanford, Michigan is the only university that is ranked among the top 20 in every single field of study.</p>
<p>11) Business Week: #6 MBA program according to the last ranking. Historically #5 MBA program in the nation.</p>
<p>12) NYao: "I don't think Michigan's reputation academically is great" (very deep assessment of a straightforward concept!)</p>
<p>11 of the 12 statements above are 100% accurate. Can anybody tell me which one of those 12 doesn't belong?! LOL</p>
<p>NYao,</p>
<p>One of my friends who went to MIT smoked weed regularly. I guess she was just an idiot too. </p>
<p>Why is it that if people drink, nobody gets upset, but a little ganja and people start crying to their mommies?</p>
<p>Alexandre,</p>
<p>But, how is the students' taste in beer? Rankings be damned! If they're all drinking crap, they need a beating just like Maguo!</p>
<p>:p</p>
<p>Maguo is considering PSU over Michigan for Christ's sakes! LOL Seriously though, a hefty portion of students at most elite universities, including CMU, Cornell, Brown, Stanford and Penn smoke weed on a regular basis.</p>
<p>Are you kidding me? My good friend out here in Japan is a Penn grad, and he smoked weed every week!</p>
<p>Since we are on this topic, How does michigan's academics compare to UIUC and UT-Austin? Also, are UIUC and UT-AUstin considered anymore of a "party school" than UMich?</p>
<p>In Engineering, Michigan is comparable to UIUC and slightly better than UTA. In terms of overall academics, Michigan is significantly better than both. None of those schools is considered a "party school". However, those schools are so large, that there is always going to be a party happening somewhere.</p>
<p>That's what I am saying. Your friend was not an exception. I know many students who study at those elite universities and the general consensus is that many students smoke pot.</p>
