<p>oh, guys, quit being mean about engineers. I am an engineer, and yes, I have some geeky traits; I play some video games, I love star wars, and I can translate a little bit of l337. But I also go out every weekend to parties, I have several friends, and I watch ‘sex and the city’. Yes, at the first party I went to this year, I was dancing with this older guy, and he was like…“wow, you’re the first engineer I’ve met at a party”.<br>
I don’t really see where this is an adequate assessment of engineers, because frankly, I know a lot of engineers who party. Granted, most of them are the male engineers, but I see a lot of my engineering friends at parties all of the time. </p>

<p>Just letting you know, don’t be tooooo afraid to be an engineer just because everyone says that they’re geeks. A lot are, but that doesn’t mean you have to be to fit in with them.</p>

<p>:)</p>

<p>intoxicated nerds are still nerds, seuferk. </p>

<p>emanuel, you certainly strike me as an engineer (and a tremendous ■■■■■■). sincere use of the word “rather” confirms your douchebaggery. </p>

<p>you guys shouldn’t get so offended by this thread, it’s just poking fun at stereotypes about different majors. the fact that you’re offended suggests that you probably are insecure about fitting (somewhat, at least) the engineer stereotypes mentioned.</p>

<p>LOL!! love this thread</p>

<p>I’m not offended..I mean, I play warcraft.</p>

<p>It seems like everyone looks down on the Hotelies…and from what I’ve heard, Hotelies hold themselves in high regard. What’s the deal?</p>

28

<p>hotelies get academic credit for folding bed sheets properly…</p>

29

<p>my hotelie friend had an exam where she was tested on what a batch was…as in like a batch of cookies. seriously.</p>

30

<p>I mean..in reality, they’re probably getting better jobs than half of the anti-social recluses with 4.0s and no social skills.</p>

<p>Practicals of science majors involve synthesizing isopentyl acetate with 98% purity and 70% yield. Practicals of hotelies involve folding bedsheets.</p>

<p>Honestly, though, no one really looks down at someone else because of what school they are in. It’s all in good fun.</p>

<p>bump this thread again, it is fun and interesting.</p>
