Various Misconceptions and Misbeliefs about Colleges

<p>I’ll rephrase it then: “That the university on your diploma will determine your success in life.”</p>

<p>Either way, the name on your diploma only gets you as far as an interview.</p>

<p>What a great thread - excellent job warble…</p>

<p>This made my day. I’m glad to see some (sardonic) humor on this forum.</p>

<p>MIT’s is only good in the engineering and sciences fields</p>

<p>UCLA is much better than UC Berkeley because its acceptance rate is lower</p>

<p>Rice’s top baseball team makes a big differnce when deciding to attend Rice over a HYP school</p>

<p>Notre Dame has a rich football history therefore all undergraduates are great athletes</p>

<p>The intense Williams/Amherst and Lehigh/Lafayette football rivalries don’t compare to those of Div. IA football powerhouses.</p>

<p>There is a big difference in the selectivity methods between Princeton’s Eating Clubs and all the Fraternities and Sororities at hundreds upon hundreds of other colleges - the Eating Clubs are unfair but the Frats and Sororiites are very fair.</p>

<p>

<p>Um…so you think that’s not true?</p>

<p>MSauce do some research on those rivalries</p>

<p>one, the Lehigh/Lafayette, is the most played rivalry in college football</p>

<p>just because less fans fit into the stadiums does not make them any less of a rivalry</p>

<p>this list includes Lehigh/Lafayette:</p>

<p>The football list does not mention the Monon Bell, so it can’t be that great. Go Little Giants!</p>

<p>Just because the teams hate each other or have a long history of playing each other it doesn’t make the rivalry as intense as say, Michigan-Ohio State, where a huge amount of the interest in the game comes from people who are fans of the teams but didn’t attend school at either place.</p>

<p>Plus, you can’t really compare the atmosphere between a small stadium and the Big House full of 60000 people who are all going crazy over the rivalry.</p>

<p>great thread Warblers. I especially liked:
28. We can accurately judge the difficulty of a college’s curriculum by how much its students whine about workloads.</p>

<p>Don’t forget: It’s axiomatic that all Catholic colleges have students of inferior intellect.</p>
